Picture: Shanghai.

In this lesson, Ss make recommendations. The lesson begins with Ss reading an article about the top things to do in Shanghai. From the article they learn adjectives that describe places. They then listen to a phone conversation between two friends, with one asking for recommendations about Shanghai. Ss learn and practise using phrases for recommending a place and responding to recommendations. They focus on using intonation to sound enthusiastic, and then make their own recommendations for places they know well.
