December Week Two


This week we used the websites Random Street View and Drive and Listen to discuss possible travel destinations and life in other countries or places around the world.

Listening:
Learners can try a listening activity from the BBC's 6 Minute English about tourism or an exam about the effects of tourism. For something a bit more challenging, try Catching Up After a Trip.

For original version listening, try an episode of the Armchair Explorer to "travel" within the constrictions of confinment.  Some options are Arabia: a 5,000-mile Journey Through the Heart of the Middle East,Descent into the Unknown: Inside the Greenland Ice CapLand of the Thunder Dragon: Exploring Bhutan
Reading:
Learners can try a short reading activity about traveling such as A Travel Guide (B1) or Holiday With a Friend (B2).

For original version, you can read the text that accompanies this slideshow about crazy images captured on street view or any of the articles from the Guardian about Google Street View.

Writing:
This week, choose one of the random street view photographs from this website and write a text describing life in this scene.  What is the daily routine like there? The weather? The sounds? Be descriptive!!!

Best,
Kelly
