Step 7 Module task Ask students to describe a trip and then present the passage to the class. T : We have learned a passage about a trip and we also have practiced writing about a trip. Now, you have a second chance to practice writing about it. Pay attention to in what aspects you should write about it. Where were you going ? Why were you going there ? What did you do/see on the trip ? The sample passage: In 2002, I went to Hong Kong by plane with my family to go sightseeing. Because it was the first time that I had taken the plane, I felt dizzy and uncomfortable. I didn’t want to eat anything but only wanted to vomit. While I was not feeling well, the airhostess came to me and gave me a plastic bag, a cup of water and a towel. After I vomited, she took the dirty bag away and asked me to have a good rest. I was very thankful to her. On the trip, although I was uncomfortable, I was very happy. Homework 1. Ask students to do the rest activities in the workbook. 2. Ask students to summarize what we have learnt in this module and preview the next.
