(Organize the students to discuss and ask one or two students to give his/her answers.)
Task1: Drawing a flight line
First ask students to have a discussion and draw their flight lines, marking the cities they expect to visit and writing down the reasons why they choose the cities. Then have them exchange their maps and share their opinions.

Task 3: Speaking up.
In our daily life, when we meet with some poor services, what shall we do? Now here are some situations. Ask the students to turn to page 34 and ask them to act out the situations.
