21 Very useful site and an excellent place to compare modes of transport. Imagine a list of destinations and starting points then divide the class into groups giving each group a different form of transport i.e. rail, air, coach, and ask them to find the best way to travel to Edinburgh (for example) on a Saturday to be there by 3 pm. Unit
22 Choose a dish from your area, make notes on the basic ingredients and method and give a summary to the class - this should be kept as simple as possible. Alternatively find the strangest food you can, again make notes on ingredients and method and tell the rest of the class. Unit

27 Huge wealth of links to ‘foody’ type pages from around the world. Ask your students to look for their favourite style of food or food from their country and to make notes on the basic ingredients. After sharing this with others in the class the activity could be extended to creating a typical menu for the students’ country. Unit
28 Click on an area of the UK and you’ll be able to zoom in as far as street level. Excellent resource for direction exercises. Use it for cities that your students know or to find famous landmarks in London.
