Main Task: Planning a trip
Imagine that you are working for a Premier League Travel agency and they want to organise a weekend itinerary to a UK city. They will have to take the trip themselves first and plan an itinerary together and agree on what they would like to do.
In pairs: choose a city, read the fact file about the city and look up more information online. You should agree on at least five activities that you want to do over the weekend. You're going to present your itinerary to the rest of the class.
