Greeting and show students some pictures about places of interest such as the Great Wall, Tian’anmen Square, Jiouzaigou.Lead in with such questions: 1. Do you enjoy your holiday? –Yes, very much. 2. Did you go to the places which are shown in the pictures? Yes, I did. 3.When did you go there? Last holiday. 4.What did you do there? I took photos and bought a souvenir. Who did you go with?

T: Where did she go for her last school trip?
S: She went to the aquarium.
T: What did she do there?
S: She took photos, saw some seals, bought a souvenir, ate some ice cream, … and so on.
Next, the teacher leads students to practice listening. Everybody has his own way to enjoy his school trip like Tina’s. The experience of each person is quite different from the others’. They may go to the zoo or go to the aquarium. Let’s listen to the tape in 1b and see where Tina went and what she did there. The tape is about Tina’s partner is asking Tina about her last school trip. Ask students to listen to the recorder carefully and circle the expressions in the box.
After listening,the teacher lists what students heard with a form on the blackboard to check
Go—went, take—took, have—had, eat—ate, hang—hung, see—saw, buy—bought, are—were, do—did
Step 2: Pairwork
Before working in pairs, students should remember the expressions in 1b. Give students a few minutes to review the expressions. After that ask students to discuss what the children in the picture do on their last school trip to follow the sample dialogue:
A: Look at Tina. What did she do on her last school trip?
B: She went to the aquarium.
A:What did she see there?
B:She saw some smart seals.
