Lesson Plan: A Picture-Based Activity to Enlarge Students’ Vocabulary on Travelling

Maria Jose Díaz is a friend and fellow teacher from EOI Avilés and, in this blog post, she will be sharing with us an excellent communicative activity for C1 students based on pictures. María Jose also runs a blog Ingles en Aviles, which is really worth a visit. Once again I have to cover the topic of travelling with my C1 students. You might think there shouldn’t be a problem dealing with this theme because everybody likes travelling plus it’s a common topic in the elementary and intermediate levels, which means students are familiarised with it.

However, what might be seen as an advantage is a disadvantage for me: students seem bored with talking about different kinds of accommodation, means of transport and flopout versus niche holidays. Drop everything and go! Last week my friend phoned me and we randomly decided to go on a spontaneous trip to Germany.

Drop everything and go!

I left home with no sleeping bag, no towel, about €50 in cash and no travel plans for the way home. Money or experiences? I have just returned to work after two weeks spent in Spain where I visited Barcelona with a colleague and Oviedo with a friend and this weekend I will be visiting Stockholm in Sweden.

Money or experiences?

After this weekend I will have visited 10 different countries in the space of only 7 months! When I tell people about this they either ask me why, or they are quite impressed. Personally I am very proud of the fact I have managed to achieve this. I love travelling so I can experience new places, new cultures, new people and of course, new food! Sometimes it can be expensive, especially when I visit large popular cities but I always feel like it is worth the money. Learnenglishteens.britishcouncil.

Last weekend however I went alone to Verona, Italy for a long weekend and it was the best experience ever. I travelled by train and checked into my B&B before exploring the beautiful town. I went out for dinner on my own, at first a bit daunting, however it meant I could people watch and take in the atmosphere of the lovely pizzeria. Afterwards, I allowed myself to wander around the town and enjoy the atmosphere. The next day I walked around the Arena by myself, I walked along the high street, went to the famous Juliet's Balcony, strolled by the river, climbed up a hill to the castle, walked through the Piazze and went to the Castelvecchio. Is it better to go on holiday with family, friends, or alone? There are very few people in the world who do not like going on holiday.

Is it better to go on holiday with family, friends, or alone?

Almost everybody likes to relax, to visit new places and see new things. Holidays are obviously great ways to do this but, before booking a trip, we all have to decide with whom to travel – is it better with family, with friends, or alone? Holidays with family can be hard work and there can be many arguments. One friend told me that both she and her sister were in tears after arguing on holiday … before their flight had even taken off. Not everybody in the family wants to do the same things. Holidays with friends are not usually as cheap but money always plays an important role. Nonetheless, travelling with friends can be incredible fun. Learnenglishteens.britishcouncil.

As part of my university course, it is compulsory that we spend a year studying or working abroad which is why I am in the beautiful Spanish region of La Rioja for the year. Learnenglishteens.britishcouncil. I love travelling so you can imagine my disappointment when I discovered that my local train station would be closed for five months. The public transport in my area is very bad because everyone prefers to drive. Unfortunately I do not have a car but I realised that I could start carpooling with people who use their cars often. Carpooling is when a driver offers to take passengers in exchange for some money for petrol.

As a result, carpooling can be a cheaper alternative to public transport because everyone in the car shares the cost of petrol. Travelling abroad. Adventure travel. Air travel.
