 Step 5 Speaking

　Get the Ss to describe the first time they travelled a long distance and put them into groups to ask and answer about their journeys.

T: When we describe our first trip, what should we introduce to others?

5W & 1H (when, where, who, what, why & how )

T: I had traveled a long distance by train eight years ago.I went to Guangdong on my own / for myself / all by myself. There are a lot of historic sites/relics, wonderful sightseeing spots and delicious seafood. I hope you will go there in the future.

Now, who'd like to describe your first long-distance travel?

S: I first traveled a long distance by train when I was seven years old. I went with my parents from Nanjing to Beijing.

S: I first traveled a long distance by train when I was twelve years old. I went with my classmates and my teacher from my hometown to Beijing.

 Step 6 Discussion

T: We can make a trip in many ways. But what do you have to consider before you decide the means of transportation? I think we must consider time and money we have to spend, and whether we'll feel comfortable and safe during travels. This is very reasonable.

T: Now let's think and discuss how you'd like to go to these places, by train, by bus or by air. Besides, give the reason why you make the decision.

Situations: 1. from Shanghai to London 2. from Beijing to Guangzhou

3. from Dalian to Qingdao 4. from Chongqing to Chengdu

( The teacher gives them minutes to discuss and asks some of them to give their ideas.)
