Speaking about sightseeing

1. SIGHTSEEING
IMAGINE THE FOLLOWING PEOPLE ARE COMING TO VISIT YOUR
TOWN/CITY ON HOLIDAY FOR A WEEK
•A school trip of twenty 13-year-olds
•Four 18-year-olds
•A couple with two kids
•A retired couple
DECIDE WHERE YOU WOULD RECOMMEND THEY GO. THINK
ABOUT SIGHTS TO SEE, RESTAURANTS, NIGHTLIFE, CULTURAL
ACTIVITIES, SHOPS, AND SO ON.

2. SIGHTSEEING
FESTIVALS AND CARNIVALS
DO YOU HAVE A CARNIVAL OR FESTIVAL IN YOUR
TOWN/CITY/AREA?
DO YOU USUALLY GO TO IT?
WHAT DOES IT INVOLVE? WHICH WORDS CAN YOU USE TO
DESCRIBE WHAT HAPPENS?
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN TO ANY OTHER CARNIVALS OR
FESTIVALS? WHERE WHEN? WHAT WERE THEY LIKE?

3. SIGHTSEEING
RIDES & THEME PARKS
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN TO AN AMUSEMENT PARK/FAIRGROUND?
WHEN? WHERE? WHAT RIDES DID YOU GO ON? DID YOU DO
ANYTHING ELSE? WAS IT GOOD?
WHAT DIFFERENT STRAINS COULD TOURISM PUT ON SOCIETY OR
ON THE ENVIRONMENT?
