This activity provides guided oral practice using the target language.

Presentate this dialogue, showing some pictures of the places with great interest all over the world and say like this:

I’d like to travel to France. I’d love to visit Paris, because I like relaxing vacations.

Where would you like to go on vacation, Sam?

Ask one student to answer the question.

After that let him or her ask another student. Set off a chain drill like this:

T: I’d love to visit Paris, because I like relaxing vacations. Where would you like to go on vacation, S₁?

S₁:I’d like to climb Mount Emei, because I like dangerous vacations. Where would you like to go on vacation, S₂?

S_s :I prefer to travel to the USA, because I like exotic vacations. Where would you like to go on vacation, S₃?

As students work together, move around the classroom, offering language support as needed. Ask some pairs to say their conversations to the class.
