While-Reading #1 (7-8 minutes) • To provide students with less challenging gist and specific information reading/listening tasks

Ask them to read the information about the website quickly, look at the photos and make predictions about what kind of holiday they have. Ask ICQs: -What will you try to guess? -Will you read very quickly? Do not set time (Stop the Ss about 30 seconds later) Give them the worksheets and tell them not to unfold. After they finish, get them to do peer-check and discuss their guesses. Set 1 minute. Elicit the answers in WCF and write their predictions on the board. Then tell them "Let's read about the tours and see if we were right or wrong." Ask them to unfold the paper and read very quickly, not word by word. Set 1 minute.
