UNIVERSIDAD NACIONAL ABIERTA Y A DISTANCIA UNAD 2022

STEP 1 - CONTENT REVIEW 1.1 Go to Learning / E book /Online Content English B1. 1.2 Study the content of modules 1 & 2 from the E-book and do all the activities proposed in it. You should study: Module 1

Module 2

1.3 Do exercise 14 “TALKING ABOUT SUPERTITIONS” in module 1. Here in Colombia, there's a lot of superstitions, but I'll name three. The first one is not to walk behind a staircase, because it can get you seven years of bad luck. Continuing with the seven years of bad luck, people also say that you can get them by breaking a mirror, interesting, no? And last but not least, if you receive the New Year below a table, the new year will bring you a boyfriend, or girlfriend.

1.4 Record the audio activity proposed and upload it on the forum. (You can use vocaroo or a voice recorder).

1.5 Study the travelling vocabulary in the OVI_Looking for a destination, found in Learning Environment.

STEP 2 - READING ACTIVITY 2.1. Read the text “A travel guide” in Annex 1. Travel guide in the Learning Environment. 2.2. According to the text “A travel guide” answer the questions below. Write complete sentences. ○What are some recommendations to visit Bangkok? Use have to/ must/mustn´t in your answer. You mustn't visit The Khao San Road since it's noisy and there's prettier places to visit that represents Thailand better, instead, you must go to Phra Kanong, it has some fantastic street markets to eat, work and stay. You have to spend at least one night in Bangkok, but it'd be better if you make it a longer stay ○ What is the fastest way to get around in Bangkok? To move around the modern part of the city, you must use the Skytrain. It is not also fast, but cheap too so you can go from the river to the shopping malls or experience the nightlife of Sukhumvit. ○ Where can you fnd the best Chinese and Thai restaurants and food stands in Bangkok? If you want to eat in the best Chinise and Thai food restaurants you must visit the Yaowarat Street, there's plenty options to choose from. Just ask whatever looks most interesting to you. ○Why is water one of the best ways to move around Thailand? To visit the temples and historical cities and don't spend hours stuck in traffic, you must catch an express boat river taxi or a longtail boat along de Chao Phraya river and the canals. ○ Why does the author say you can eat everywhere? Because Thai food is one of the best in the world, also, it's cheap. For 5$ you can eat a delicious and filling meals. You must try it. ○ What would you add to a guide destination like this? Mention 2 diferent items that you consider necessary to keep in mind. In my opinion, I think you must add the costs to a travel guide, and also the recommendations to talk to people from the city (like, what they consider disrespectful, or what not to do and say to them, just to respect the culture).

2.3. Post your answers on the forum and exchange opinions with your partners regarding their answers.
