Unit

Make a list of some common items, e.g. books, CDs, televisions etc. and ask them to use the site to find the cheapest, the most expensive and to make comparisons. You could also send them out to the shops and see which is cheaper, the Internet or the shop. Unit
20 This site is a route planner which will calculate the distance between the two points, advise you on the best route, provide you with a step by step route and give you an idea of how long the trip will take. Set up a role-play: one student is the customer and the other the travel advisor. Student A asks questions such as how long…? how far…? and it is up to student B to find those answers. |
