Unit

A weekend in Wales
Get ready to read
•
Instead of doing this exercise, take big pieces of paper into
class (if you cannot, A4 will do) and get students in pairs to
draw the outline of the UK. Call out the four countries and
their capital cities, and ask students to write them in the
correct place on their maps.
Particularly if you are teaching in the UK, you could also call
out other cities or famous places and get students to write
them on the map, e.g.
Manchester
,
Big Ben,
etc. Display the
best map on the board/wall, at least for that lesson.
•
With books closed, ask students to brainstorm things they
know about Wales. Do not get any feedback on this. Then get
them to discuss whether the statements are true or false.
A
Find your Welsh holiday here
Ask students where you might fi nd the heading
Find your Welsh
holiday here
. Elicit that it could be in a holiday brochure or on
the Internet.
1
Before doing the exercise, elicit the words
village, town, city
and
cathedral
and their meanings. Explain that in the past any
town in Britain that had a cathedral was called a ‘city’.
Get students to do the exercise and check their answers.
Learning tip
Make the point that Geraint has told Sebastian/students about
St Davids – this is what they already know about the topic.
2
Before doing the exercise, elicit/explain the meaning of
bed
and breakfast
and ask the class if anyone has stayed in one.
Get students to do the exercise and check the answers by
writing them on the board so that students can check their
spellings.
3
Before doing the exercise, explain that St David’s is in an area
called Pembrokeshire. Get students to do the exercise.
After checking the answers, tell students that Sebastian’s
friends all reply that they like the sound of the bed and
breakfast. They are happy to share rooms but not to share
beds. Ask students what kind of accommodation Sebastian
should book for them at Ramsey House (two twin rooms).
