Your turn: talk about your holidays!À toi : parle de tes vacances !

1. Interview (in pairs): ask your partner about their last holidays. Ask at least five questions, then change roles.

Where did you go? · Who did you go with? · How did you travel? · How long did you stay? · What did you do there? · What did you see? · What did you eat? · What did you buy? · Did you like it?

2. Tell the class: like the people in the video, say where your partner went, what they did, saw and ate.

Last summer, Lucas went to… He visited… He saw… He ate…

3. Write (on a sheet of paper, 5 or 6 lines): a postcard to a friend about your holiday (real or imaginary).

Useful: Hi Sam! · I'm in… / I went to… · I visited… · I saw… · I ate… · It was great! · See you soon!
