This activity provides reading and writing practice using the target language.

Read the instructions to the class. Get them to look at the pictures.

Say, Can you say out the English names of the four famous places in the pictures?

Ask some students who know that to tell the names. Write the four names on the blackboard: the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, the Sydney Opera House, Big Ben in London, the Eiffel Tower in Paris.

Then teach them to read the names several times till they can read them fluently and correctly.

Practice reading the names by showing some pictures of the four places to students. Get them to say out the English names of the places as soon as they see each picture. Change the pictures more and more quickly and students do as fast as they can.

After practicing the names, ask, Which these places would you like to visit most? Why? Ask two or three students to tell their answers to the class. They may say like this,

I’d like to visit Paris most. Because I cam see the famous tower, the Eiffel Tower. there. And I have ever heard the people there are very romantic. I’m interested in that.

Then say, Please say something on the place where you would like to visit most to your partner now. Get them to work in pairs. Move around the room as they work, offering words and sentences as needed.

After they’ve all finished, tell them to write an article about where they would like to visit most and why. Ask students to complete the work on their own. Move around the classroom and help them.

After they’ve finished writing, ask a few students to read their articles to the class. Encourage the rest of the class to tell the mistakes they may have made in their passages.

I have collected lots of pictures of it. Some of them are on the walls of my small room. It is my dream to go to visit the Eiffel Tower and take photos there by myself. That’s the main reason for me to like to visit Paris most.

I also like to see the other scenes in Paris. I have heard that the streets there are very beautiful. And there are many famous buildings in Paris. I would like to visit the museums there, too. I hope my dream can come true some day.
