　　Say, Now read the diary and circle all the good things about Kirns holiday. Underline all the bad things. Ask them to notice the description words that tell them whether something is good or bad (e.g. great,beautiful, fun = good;not much fun, boring,crowded = bad). You may want to ask a student to tell

　　you what the first bad thing was (i.e. Kirns kite breaking).

　　Ask students to finish the activity individually.

　　Check the answers.

　　3b This activity provides guided writing practice using the target language.

　　Say, Now write a travel diary like the one in 3a.Imagine you are an American student on vacation in Beijing.

　　Have students do the activity individually. You maywant to have them write on pieces of paper, since space in the textbook is limited. As they work, move around the classroom offering assistance as necessary.

　　Have several students read out their diaries to the class. (You might want to make this activity more substantial, and set it as written homework to be collected and marked.)
