Class Objective: Use "superlative grammar" to describe classmate's restaurants 

1. We will do the listening activity on P.26

2. Learn about superlative grammar on P.27  

Example Conversation:

Anna: I'm planning a vacation, but I can't decide where to go.

Ben: It depends on what you want. Do you want to visit the oldest city, relax on a beach, see nature, or go shopping?

Anna: I think I'd like to visit the largest city in the country first. There are usually lots of things to do.

Ben: That's true, but sometimes the biggest cities are too crowded for me.

Anna: So where would you go?

Ben: I'd choose the quietest town I could find. I like peaceful places.

Anna: What about the food? I love trying local dishes.

Ben: Then you should try the spiciest restaurant in town! Just be ready to drink a lot of water.

Anna: Good idea! I'd also like to see the most famous landmark in the area.

Ben: Of course. And don't forget to book the most comfortable hotel you can afford.

Anna: That's important. A good night's sleep makes every trip better.

Ben: Speaking of important things, what do you think is the most important part of traveling?

Anna: For me, it's meeting new people and learning about different cultures.  I love that! 

Ben: I agree. And after a busy day, sitting by the lake is the most relaxing activity.

Anna: Sounds perfect! What's the best vacation you've ever had?

Ben: A trip to the mountains last year. Everything was amazing.

Anna: And what's the worst vacation you've ever had?

Ben: A camping trip where it rained every day! I spent most of the time inside the tent.

Anna: I hope my next vacation is more like your best one than your worst one!

3. Active English: Make restaurant menus with groups.  Then, go around and use superlatives to describe each other's menus
