ROUTINE (5 minutes)
I say hello to the students and take attendance: “Hello everybody! How are you
today? Let’s see who is here and who is absent” As they get ready, I will try to
remember their names and I will present today’s topic. “Today we are going to
start with another continent. Can you guess which one?” I will wait for them to
guess and I will answer yes or no, accordingly. Then I will say “We are going to
work with Oceania, also known as Australia.”
WARM- UP (10 minutes)
“Before we start, what can you tell me about this continent?” I will wait for
students to make some comments. Then I will give them a slit of paper with a
paragraph. “Now I am giving you a short paragraph about this continent for you
to read. But you will have to do more than just reading. You will see that the
paragraph is not yet a paragraph. It is only a string of letters. You will have to
3. read it and separate the letters into words and then add the necessary
punctuation.” I will give five minutes to work and them I will ask one of them to
come to the board and write the final paragraph.
PRESENT ATI ON (15 minutes)
As usual, we are going to start with a short video about the continent. Please pay
attention and take down notes of what strikes your attention.” I will show them
the video with the projector.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0PvMmTAUAQ
I will check what information they got from the video. “What can you recall from
the video we just seen?” I will wait for them to give me some answers and I will
encourage them to remember more “What else? Remember the animals
mentioned? How many countries are there in Oceania? How many people live
there?” I will elicit some answers and write them down on the board.
DEVELOP M ENT (PRACTI CE and PRODUCTI ON)
Activity 1 (15 minutes)
I will ask students to get in pairs or groups of three in order to work together in
the following activity. There will be two different places I will give the groups
different sets of photocopies about those touristic places in Australia.
Activity 2 (15 minutes)
“Now we are going to read about different touristic places in Australia. You have
to read in groups and highlight, underline or write everything that you think is
important to know about that place.” I will walk around helping students with
vocabulary.
4. Activity 3 (15 minutes)
As a follow up activity, students will pretend they work in travel agencies and
they will make an itinerary of the places they recommend people to visit in the
city they read about. “Now you are going to start planning an itinerary
pretending you work in a tourism agency and you have to sell a trip to the city in
Oceania you got”. This will only be the first stage of the activity, as they will
continue working on it during the following class. For now, Students will only
have to write down a list of places in the order they think will be best for
potential tourists to visit.
CLOSURE (5 minutes)
To finish the class I will ask students to give me the material as they will continue
working with it the following class. I will explain that next class they will be
making an advertisement inwhich they show the places they offer people to visit.
Then I will thank them for their work and say goodbye.
“Thank you for your attention. Excellent work today, see you next class to
continue working on this. Goodbye!”

5. Everything to Know About Sydney
Sydney is a traveler's dream with iconic landmarks, gorgeous beaches, and
countless traces of a rich cultural history.
SYDNEY FEELS COSMOPOLITAN and laid-back all at once. You're as likely to
encounter business moguls and movie stars as bohemian artists and easygoing
surfers. But what makes Sydney unique among cities of its size is that everyone
always seems up for a good time. Sydney is fun. It's friendly. And it's never boring.
When to Go
Home to such glorious natural wonders, no time is like springtime in Sydney, which
spans September to November. A relatively dry season means weather is less likely
to interfere with your travels, and you can still enjoy the many beautiful beaches
before the big crowds arrive for summer.
Celebrate
For three full weeks in January, the Sydney Festival brings the entire city to life in a
whirlwind of artistic expression. World-renowned contemporary music acts along
with dance, drama and other performing and visual artists entertain locals and
visitors alike. Festival events are held in more than 30 venues across the city—many
of them free of charge—and attract more than half a million people each year.
What to Eat
Seafood lovers should try barramundi, a definitively Australian fish often served
pan-fried with an herbed butter sauce. Landlubbers with bold palettes may opt for
kangaroo, which can be found in burgers, pizzas or simply as a grilled filet. But for
a classic, every-day taste of Sydney, you can't go wrong with Vegemite on toast. Just
don't overdo it.
Souvenir to Take Home
The national gemstone of Australia, you won't find a more stunning variety of opals
anywhere in the world. Because of their extraordinary abundance you can find opal
shops all over the city with prices you're not likely to see in most other parts of the
world.
Sustainable Travel Tip
Sustainable travel isn't difficult in Sydney because the city itself has committed to an
ambitious Sustainable Sydney master plan, and eco-friendly accommodations and
activities are becoming not only commonplace but trendy. For green travel in Sydney,
if you want it you can find it.
6. Instagram-Worthy View
The spectacular Sydney Harbour doesn't have a bad side—you'll find photo-worthy
angles from almost anywhere. But why limit yourself to a single location? Take the
30-minute ride on the Manly Ferry for 360-degree views of the ocean, the harbour
and all the famous landmarks that dot its shores.
Discover the Best of Sydney
Here are 10 ways to explore Australia's most populous city.
National Park
The Sydney Harbour National Park protects more than 970 acres of land, foreshores
and islands in metropolitan Sydney. The park is well known for its sheltered beaches
andhistoric landmarks,whichinclude Aboriginal andcolonial sites. Visitors can enjoy
guided culture tours or simply wander the bushland trails to see local wildlife. The
park's shorelines offer gorgeous views and plenty of prime swimming spots.
Archeological Site
The Big Dig Archaeological Site, located in an area of Sydney aptly dubbedThe Rocks,
contains the archaeological remains of homes, shops and other artifacts from the
late 18th century. Now home to an education center and youth hostel, the site
provides a frozen-in-time peek at life in the earliest European settlements in
Australia.
UNESCO Site
Once home primarily to convicts and shipbuilders, Cockatoo Island has been
reimagined as a landmark of Sydney's cultural heritage. A short ferry ride on the
harbour, the island features guided history tours, art installations and major art and
music festivals throughout the year. For its historic association with convict transport
and European colonial expansion, the island was designated a UNESCO World
Heritage site in 2010.
Cultural Site
Among the most famous and iconic buildings in the world, the Sydney Opera House
sits at Bennelong Point on Sydney Harbour and is home to multiple venues that host
a wide variety of performing arts events. An artistic masterpiece itself, most people
recognize its silhouette from photos of the harbor—but the detail and craftsmanship
you'll find up close is just as awe-inspiring.
Best Day Trip
Just a two-hour drive from Sydney, the Hunter Valley wine region is home to more
than 150 wineries and many charming, chef-driven restaurants. But even those with
no affinity for wine can find plenty to love among the picturesque landscapes.
Bicycling and horseback riding are popular ways to explore the area, and you can see
diverse local wildlife including koalas, wallabies and kangaroos.
Off the Beaten Path
Perhaps not as secret as it once was, Wendy's Secret Garden is a peaceful botanical
wonderland hidden among the urban landscape in Lavender Bay. Formerly an
7. abandoned train yard, private resident Wendy Whiteley transformed the space near
her home with local and exotic plants, winding garden paths, cobblestone stairs and
unique art installations. Visitors can enjoy the garden any time, free of charge—but
it's still secret enough that you may need to ask a local where to find it.
Most Iconic Attraction
Nicknamed "the coat hanger" because of its iconic arched design, the Sydney
Harbour Bridge is the centerpiece of the city and a must-see attraction all its own.
Visitors can walk or bicycle across it, but the truly adventurous can climb to the top—
preferably at twilight—for breathtaking sunset views of the entire city.
Historic Site
Australian history doesn't begin with European colonialism. At Grotto Point in the
Sydney Harbour National Park you can see traces of the ancient Aboriginal peoples—
the oldest continuous culture on Earth dating back more than 60,000 years—
including rock engravings depicting kangaroos, humans, whales, boomerangs and
more. And don't miss the Grotto Point Lighthouse, a historic and still active beacon
on the harbour.
Local Quirk
You may know some dedicated sports fans, but there's something special about the
enthusiasm Australians have for their favorite teams. Join the raucous crowds at the
Sydney Cricket Ground, a multi-sport stadium that plays host to professional cricket,
rugby and Australian rules football, among other sporting events. And remember,
when you hear a chant of "Aussie, Aussie Aussie!" the appropriate reply is a hearty
"Oi, Oi, Oi!"
Neighborhood to Explore
A hip, bohemian-flavored respite from the bustle of Sydney's central district,
Newtown has been a hotbed of culture for more than a century. Its many pubs and
restaurants stand alongside legendary music venues, theaters and independent
performing spaces. Its proximity to Sydney University ensures the neighborhood will
always stay young at heart.

Everything to Know About Melbourne
From Australia's best coffee to world famous street art, it's no wonder that Melbourne
has been hailed as the most liveable city.
MELBOURNE IS A melting pot of culture. The inner city of Melbourne is mostly
European while the eastern section of Collins Street is Parisian. Melbourne also has
a bit of New York thanks to the city's well-ordered grid andscattering of art deco high-
rises. But what makes Melbourne truly unique is its more than 230 laneways that
penetrate the heart of the city blocks. It is here that the city's true spirit can be
appreciated. These narrow lively lanes are home to superb restaurants, bars and
street art. From the tangible excitement of sporting events to the relaxed atmosphere
of laid-back dining and outdoor shows, the city is vibrant with live music and shows
at its four mid-sized venues.
When to Go
10. Autumn (March to May) and spring (September to November) are the best seasons
to visit the city. The climate is pleasant and allows for the city to be explored either
by foot or bicycle.
Celebrate
Celebrity sightings are at their apex during the Australian Open Tennis Tournament
in January and the Formula 1 Grand Prix in March that marks the start of the F1
season. The spring racing Carnival in October and November not only has the longest
horse race in the world at 3.1 kilometers but is also the fashion event to kick off the
summer season. The iconic Boxing Day test match is also a crowd puller. The city
celebrates food and wine every year in March during the Melbourne Food and Wine
Festival where people from across the globe come together to share their common
love for food.
What to Eat
The café capital of the world, Melbourne is also Australia's culinary capital and home
to some funky cafes hosting a variety of international cuisines. A mix of cultures is
reflected within its numerous restaurants, cafes and bars. Whether the choice is
modern, traditional, exotic or homespun food—Melbourne's extensive dining scene
offers a delicious array of the world's great cuisines. Snack on high-end tapas in an
eatery tucked away in a lane or visit Chinatown in the main Central Business District
(CBD) known as the place for authentic South East Asian delights. Of course, beyond
the CBD there are more culinary delights to discover—Richmond for Vietnamese,
Carlton that is known as Little Italy, Fitzroy for Spanish and Brunswick for Lebanese.
Souvenir to Take Home
A number of souvenir shops sell stylish artifacts and a lot of Aboriginal art. A popular
souvenir is a key chain or a bottle opener made out of a real kangaroo scrotum,
however this might be distasteful or offensive to some.
Sustainable Travel Tip
The best way to see the main city area is by the city circle tram—a free service that
circumnavigates the city. There are a lot of bicycles for hire and dedicated bicycle
lanes. Melbourne also has the largest urban tram network.
Instagram-Worthy View
Takea hot air balloon ride from the banksof the Yarra River at dawnfor a spectacular
shot of the sun rising over beautiful Melbourne. The city has managed to retain a lot
of greenery in spite of its urbanity. The Royal Exhibition Building in Carlton and the
Botanical gardens in the city are also very picturesque. But, nothing tops the view of
the entire city from the Edge at the Eureka Towers on the 88th floor where one is put
in a glass box and extended out of the building. If one can survive the initial shock of
being suspended mid-air in a glass box, the Instagram pic to follow will definitely be
worth it.
Discover the Best of Melbourne
Wildlife
Phillip Island, 142 kilometers south of Melbourne, is known for its penguin parade.
Dubbed as the world's smallest parade, this event allows visitors to catch a glimpse
of the smallest species of penguins in their natural habitat. These penguins waddle
11. up to the beach and into their burrows after a day of fishing at the sea. Phillip Island
is also known for seals and koalas.
Natural Wonder
The Great Ocean Road or the B100 is Victoria's defining drive and in no small part
thanksto the 12 Apostles (though there are only seven standing now). These are rock
stacks formed by erosion along this fantastic coastal drive. While the Great Ocean
Road drive can be done in a day, it is best to take two days to explore this road. A
helicopter ride over the 12 Apostles is highly recommended. Start at Torquay (105
kilometers from Melbourne) and end at Port Campbell. Torquay to Port Campbell is
187 kilometers along the B100.
National Park
The KinglakeNational Park is 74 kilometers north of Melbourne nestled on the slopes
of the Great Dividing Range. The 232 square kilometer park is a popular place for
hiking and camping. The Mason Falls attracts the most visitors because of the fern
forests around the falls and its nice picnic area. Wildlife, though elusive, is present in
the form of wallabies, kangaroos, wombats and echidna. Affected by the 2009
wildfires, many plants that adapted to fire are now flourishing. Spring (September to
November) is best for wildflowers and winter (December to February) is when
mosses, fungi and lichen crop up.
Cultural Experience
The Royal Exhibition Building in Carlton and the surrounding gardens are in the heart
of Melbourne. The building became the first in Australia to be put on the UNESCO
World Heritage List. Builtfor the Great International Exhibitions in Melbourne in 1880
and 1888, the building and gardens were later chosen as the venue for the opening
of the first Commonwealth Parliament of Australia on May 9, 1901. Today there are
ongoing exhibitions held inside the building and daily tours starting at 2 p.m. if the
building is not specifically being used for an event. The Carlton Gardens are also on
the World Heritage List. Take time to explore the beautifulVictorian style landscaping
and the profusion of trees and plant species present within, some of which are
extremely rare.
Best Day Trip
Located just 50 kilometers from Melbourne, Yarra Valley is a popular wine region
with more than 50 cellar doors. Besides sampling wine, the cafes attached to the
cellar doors often have fresh seasonal produce on their menus. Popular activities to
partake in are a hot air balloon ride over Yarra Valley's scenic landscape during
sunrise, cruising down the country lanes in a classic convertible and enjoying a
relaxed luncheon in the wineries' restaurants. A visit to Yarra Valley can be combined
with a ride on the famous Puffing Billy steam train that takes visitors through the
magnificent Dandenong Ranges.
Most Iconic Place
The Flinders Street Station is an iconic Melbourne landmark. Completed in 1910, it
is constructed in the French Renaissance style of architecture and stands out
amongst the glass and steel skyscrapers that today surround it. An urban myth is
that the designs for the Victoria Terminus (now Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus) in
12. Mumbai and the Flinders Street Station in Melbourne were switched. Another legend
is that a ghost named George roams around the station.
Late night
The Central Business District (CBD) in Melbourne doesn't really shut down after
business hours as many restaurants and bars stay open late into the night. Usually 1
a.m. and 3 a.m. are closing times but the Loch and Key on Franklin Street stays open
until 5 a.m. It is a little tricky to find because it is a pub that is hidden inside a bar
called the Captain Melville, the city's oldest pub. Access to Loch and Key is via a
rickety staircase behind a bookcase in the Captain Melville.
Historical Site
Sovereign Hill, 116 kilometers to the west of Melbourne, can be called a "dynamic"
museum. Set in what used to be a gold prospecting area, this open-air community
museum is deeply entrenched in gold-rush history. Here one can interact with the
dressed-up actors, pan for gold in the Red Hill Gully Creek—which is peppered with
fine alluvial gold—or take a horse drawn carriage around town.
People-Watching Spot
Check out the action and the crowds every Friday and Saturday night at the
Melbourne Cricket Ground during the Australian Foot Ball (AFL) Australian Rules
football season. Locally called "footy," this is a Melbourne highlight and is often
played during winter so it pays to dress in layers. The fans put on as much of a show
as the game itself. Because it can get boisterous at times, only low strength alcohol
is on sale at the MCG.
Shop Like the Locals
It is exciting to delve into the hustle and bustle of the Queen Victoria Market—the
Southern Hemisphere's biggest open-air market. Within the market are stores and
stalls selling fresh produce, fruits and vegetables, artisan cheeses and meats
including kangaroo and crocodile. There are speciality cafes and coffee shops. It is a
place to eat, shop, explore as one discovers iconic food halls and heritage sheds
where the banter is as fresh as the produce.

Observations The lesson is really nice!
15. However, I am worried that you still find it difficult to identify the
language function beneath each lesson. This time, you are referring to
the macro skill, which is not the same. Work on that!
Have a good time!
