A simple way to teach it
Before the lesson
Print page 1 and retain page 2 for checking. Review the difference between luggage and a suitcase, and between an airport departure gate and a train platform. Learners can discuss imagined journeys if they have not travelled internationally.
- Read the word bank and attempt the gaps, using the whole sentence to identify the place, object or action required. Cross out used entries only after checking the choice.
- Compare with a partner, then check the key. Revisit boarding pass, passport and check-in desk in their different sentence contexts.
- Discuss the three printed questions, giving an example or reason. Encourage learners to reuse a few of the target words naturally rather than forcing every word into an answer.
Support and extension
For support, sort the bank into documents, places, objects and other travel terms. For an extension, write a short itinerary or travel account as an optional task. The once-only bank constrains gap answers; discussion responses vary. Customs is travel vocabulary here, not a guide to any country's entry procedures.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
