Unit 4, Part 3 Overview In part 3 of this unit, which can be completed in about 60 minutes of class time , the focus of travel related conversation turns to the nuts & bolts of planning a trip. Here students will talk about ideal modes of travel as well as travel times and costs: • What’s the best way to go to Kumamoto? • How long does it take? • Do you know how long it takes? • How much does it cost? • Do you know how much it costs? Note how this topic follows on quite nicely from the future-oriented theme of part 2. The Sounding Natural Note on page 64 bring attention to the conversation strategy of Expressing Uncertainty , which will help students avoid prolonged silences if they do not have a ready answer. Unit 3 wraps up on page 65 with Listening Practice and Free Conversation tasks. By the end of this lesson, students will have the ability to speak more coherently about the popular topic of travel.
