III. Warming up
T: Look at the places where people can
have a good rest on holidays. Tell where would you like to go for holidays?
(Slide 3)
S1: I’d like to go for holidays to some exotic places,
because I like to taste exotic food.
S2: And I would like to go to Yalta, because I dream to
see the fabulous castle “The Swallow Nest”.

dream about going up the Hoverla and watch the incredible view.

and want to see the ancient city of Knossos.
S5: I would like to go to Turkey, because there are lots of
fantastic beaches there…..
IV. Listening
T: Thank you for your ideas. Now we are going to listen to the dialogue of two girls about
holidays in Malta. Your task is to write down the adjectives from these
dialogues, which are used with the following nouns: Malta, hotel,
weather, beaches, and food. (Slide 4)
(Students listen to the dialogue for
the first time and work on the cards)
T:
Let’s check up your answers. (Slide 4)
S1: Malta is fantastic.
S2: The hotel is beautiful.
S3: The weather is warm and sunny.
S4: The beaches are really gorgeous.
S5: The food is delicious.
T: You have coped with
this task very easy. So try to answer these questions about Malta.
What is Malta like? Where will the girls stay? What is the weather like there?
Are there nice beaches? What about the food? (Slide 5)
(Students listen to the dialogue for
the second time and work on the cards)
V. Pair works. Dialogical speech

your partner to go on holidays with you. (See two previous exercises)

choose from.
S1: It sounds perfect. I’d love to come.
VI. Grammar review
T: Well done! Then tell what did you do while you
were on holidays? Read the sentences and identify the tenses in bold. Then
match them with the tense description. (Slide 6)
S1: The first sentence is in Past Simple. It is an action
which happened in the past at the definite moment

longer past action which was interrupted by the shorter one.
S3: The third sentence is in Present Perfect Continuous.
It is an action which started in the past and lasted for some time.
S4: The fourth sentence is in Present Perfect. It is past
action having visible results in the present.

verbs in brackets into the correct tense. Then we’ll check up your answers.
(Slide 7)
(Pupils do the task on the cards)
T: Here
are some more sentences for you. Test yourself and your neighbour will be your
teacher. (Slide 8)
(Pupils write the sentences on the
cards then exchange in pairs and check up)
VIII. Reading
T: Thanks for your answers. I’m proud of you. That’s why
I propose you to “travel in Vicky’s letter” to the capital of Spain
– Madrid. If you don’t know it is a very beautiful city with lots of places to
visit:
the Plaza Monumental - a large city
stadium, where bullfights take place
the Prado Museum – one of the biggest
museums in the world
Paella – traditional food in Spain,
a dish made of shellfish and vegetables. (Slide 9)

Read Vicky’s letter. Talk about the weather in Madrid, its sights, food and
activities she had there. (Slide 10)
S1:
The weather was fine there.
S2: They have already been to the Plaza Monumental and a
large city stadium. However, they haven’t been to the Prado Museum
yet.
P3: She tried Paella at a restaurant. The food was
delicious and the service was excellent.
IX. Group work. Writing a letter
T: Would you like to go for
holidays to Madrid? Probably, you would. But first in groups write the letter
about some places you were in on holidays. Be attentive, while writing
the letter describing your stay at a holiday resort, you should talk about the
place,
accommodation, the weather, sights
you have visited, activities you have been doing, the food, any good or bad
experience you have had. Organize your thoughts in paragraphs. Use the
plan. (Slide 11)
(Pupils work in small groups, and
then present the letters in the class)

your visit to Paris (the Eiffel Tower, the Mona Lisa, frog’s legs)
Group 2: Write about your visit to London (the Tower
of London, the Big Ben, traditional English tea with milk)

Dear, Ann,
How are you? I’m writing to
you from Paris. I arrived 4 days ago with my friends.
We are staying in a wonderful
hotel near the river. The weather is really hot and sunny.
We have been doing a lot of
sightseeing. Yesterday we went up to the top of the Eiffel Tower.
We also visited the Louvre and saw the Mona Lisa.
Last night I tried a
traditional French dish - frogs’ legs; it was tasty. While we were eating
somebody stole my camera. Now I must buy a new one.
See you when I get back.
Love,
Helen.

interesting. Today you worked in groups. And at home you’ll have an opportunity

XI. Summing up. Marking

Dear,
Angie,
I am writing to you from Madrid. My family and I came here on holidays ten
days ago.
We are staying in a fabulous hotel in the city centre. So far, the weather
has been fine.
We have been doing a lot of sightseeing. We have already been to the Plaza
Monumental and a large city stadium. However, we haven’t been to the Prado
Museum yet.
I tried Paella yesterday at a restaurant. The food was delicious and the
service was excellent. The only bad thing was that while we were enjoying our
dessert, it started raining.
Well, I promise to sent you some photos.
Love,
Vicky
