Students check their answers by comparing them with the correct answers on board provided by the teacher. Teacher elicits the meaning of the unknown vocabulary by drawing or pointing and asking concept check questions. e.g.; twin room, double room. ( after drawing a room with two beds, the teacher asks; how many beds are there? Two, Is this a twin room or a double room? a twin room.)Students do the exercise Vocabulary&Speaking2 in groups. Teacher does the first one as an example. Then students check their answers by comparing their answers with other groups as an open class activity.

While-Reading #1 (5-6 minutes) • To provide students with less challenging gist task

Students read the article once and match the topics to the paragraphs. They compare their answers in pairs and then the teacher checks the answers as an open class activity.

While-Reading #2 (8-9 minutes) • To provide students with a more challenging detailed reading task

Students work in pairs and answer four questions about the reading as a detailed reading activity. Students compare their answers with other pairs and give feedback.

Students change pairs / groups and share experience about the best or worst hotels they have ever stayed in.
