PLANNING A TRIP


Bring a brochure of a touristic place in the town.

Eg; The Broughty Castle.

Ask the participants to answer the questions using the brochure:

a) When was The Broughty Castle built?

b) When was it rebuilt?

c) What are the opening hours?

d) How much is the entrance fee?

e) What are the facilities in the Castle

f) What can you see there?

The readers don't need to understand every single word in the brochure, but they are supposed to be able to understand and answer the questions.

Before checking the answers the tutor can prepare a listening activity using the brochure, to improve the pronunciation and speaking skills.

Provide them a copy of the timetable sheet of the local bus. Ask them to use the timetable and according to the instruction in the brochure, prepare a trip to visit the Broughty Castle.

To check their understanding, tell them that you want to visit the Castle on Monday at 2:30pm in April.

They have to answer the questions:

a) What time does the bus leave the bus station?

b) What is the number of the bus?

c) What time does it arrive in Dundee?

d) Do I need to take another bus? At what time?

e) What time does it arrive at the Broughty Castle?


It is a lovely activity. They are going to enjoy, and probably they are going to visit the Castle as I did. Gorgeous!!!!!
