Topic: Vacation plans

Dear Students,

You will participate in an assignment of making a video about your vacation plans.

Here are the steps to complete the assignment:

Step 1:
Watch a video about vocabulary to talk about vacation plans. Here is the link:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSBv9laQROk (6’25”)
Take notes of expressions you would need to describe your own vacation plans.
Step 2:
Prepare a script telling us about your vacation plans.
Talk about:
• the package tour you are going to take
• how you will travel
• what you should do to get ready
• what you should take
• what you should do in the place

You can start like this:

Hello. I’m Ana. I’m planning to travel to Europe (show a photograph) for my next holidays. I’ll
definitely travel by plane. I think I need to get a connecting flight. I hope to get a cheap light. I
should…

Step 3:
Stand in front of the camera and record yourself in a video telling us about your vacation
plans. Support your speech with photographs.
Practice several times before recording the final version of your video.

Here are some things to keep in mind while recording your video:
 Speak as clearly as possible.
 Smile.
 Be in a well-lit area.
 Be confident.
 Look at the camera when you speak.
 Don’t just read.
