Ask SS to look at the pictures and identify the places. If SS are unfamiliar with any of the places, give the names and briefly clarify where they are located.
Tell SS to work in pairs and ask each other questions in ex 1 A about what they know about Tokyo. Have them look at the pictures on pages 40 and 41 and discuss which places they would like to visit. Encourage them to extend their answers by giving reasons. Monitor the discussion and support where necessary.
Play the recording and tell students to listen and answer the questions about which places Mike and Harry decide to visit in ex 1 B, on p 40. Have SS pair-check and compare their answers in pairs before sharing the correct answers with the whole class.
Tell SS to listen again and answer the given comprehension questions in ex 1 C, on p 40. Have SS pair-check their answers in pairs before eliciting the correct answers from the class. Get a whole class feedback.

If SS are unsure, briefly explain about the rule “shall” and clarify the short forms of “will” and “will not”. Write a few example sentences on the board to demonstrate meaning, form, and use. Ask CCQs such as “If I say I won’t go, does that mean I am going?” If I say Shall we go?, is it a suggestion or decision?

Monitor SS closely and get a whole class feedback. Give SS an additional handout titled “4B Vocabulary related to Adjectives: Places”. Assign roles: Student A and Student B. Give each student a different version of the crossword-style handout, where some answers are missing. Set a time limit of 3 minutes for SS to complete the task individually. Have them check their answers with a partner by comparing both versions. Get a whole class feedback.
