Now it is time to choose your ideal house for your holidays. We will divide the class into 4 groups of 2, and give them different locations and holidays plans. Besides, students will be given different Airbnb options with houses/flats descriptions for them to choose the most suitable place for their holidays. Students need to ask questions to each other about the house descriptions, and then analyse, assess, and select the best options. This would be a more controlled practice. Therefore, a guide will be provided. (Students can take into consideration: Location of the accomodation, ammenities, price, cancellation policies, is it pet friendly? Check out time) Time: 15 minutes
