Unit 4 Overview Travel is the main theme of this unit, but each part will have students talking about a different sub theme: • Part 1 : Past travel experiences • Part 2 : Future travel ideas and plans • Part 3 : Comparing different modes of travel As usual, the Sounding Natural Notes will provide further instruction and practice on the Golden Rules in the context of talking about travel experiences. The note on page 64 also shines a light on how students can express uncertainty when they don’t have a ready answer. Overall, Unit 4 will give students the tools to enable them to chat about their past and future travel experiences and plans. Given the popularity of this topic, students will hopefully enjoy sharing their experiences and dream trip ideas with each other. Unit 4, Part 1 Overview In part 1 of this unit, which can be completed in about 60 minutes of class time , students will talk about their past travel experiences: Have you ever been abroad? The Sounding Natural Note on page 55 focuses on helping students give longer answers in line with Golden Rule 2 . The common implicit questions covered there can also be used as follow-up questions to bring out more details. In Speaking Time , students do the Interview & Report activity, which will allow them to practice making longer turns and actively listen.
