ACTIVITY 3.3.18 - SPEAK: Travel Agent
LAD Pairing Activity
You and your partner will take turns being the customer or the travel agent. When Partner A
is the travel agent, he/she asks Partner B questions about vacation preferences. Once
Partner A has completed all 3 customer boxes, Partner B then becomes the travel agent.
Once you both have completed all of the boxes, look at the trips offered by the travel agent
and match each customer with the best vacation. There are 4 customers and 6 vacations.
TEACHER NOTE: If you want to be able to listen to these conversations later, launch the
recorder at the beginning of this activity and hit record.
Example: Partner A is the travel agent and Partner B is the example customer.
Partner A: (Acting as travel agent) Hello, can I help you?
Partner B: (Acting as example customer) Yes, I need a vacation!
Partner A: Great. What are some things you like and don’t like to do?
Partner B: I really like sports, taking pictures and cold weather. I don’t like the desert or really
hot weather.
Partner A: Okay. Where did you go on vacation already? (or: Where did you go before?)
Partner B: I went to Alaska and Minnesota already.
Then switch roles. Partners A will be Customer 1 and 3. Partners B will be Customer 2 and 4.
Both Partners A and B write down the information that is missing on the sheet for the
customers. Then, with your partner, use the information and fill in the “Vacation match” box
for each customer at the bottom of the chart. Lastly, write 2-3 reasons about why you picked
that vacation for that customer.

shells and sand dollars on the beach instead of taking pictures.

so I started sightseeing right away! I rode a bus around the city and took many pictures. I had
to eat a sandwich for lunch to get more energy to visit more places the rest of the day. After, I
traveled to the countryside to see open fields with small rivers. I needed to rest by a tree for an

to celebrate with us. My dad and I picked up my aunt, uncle, and cousins from the airport in the
morning. Then we went to the beach for a couple of hours and swam in the ocean. I loved riding
the waves and building sandcastles. Then we went home to clean up. Around 4:00 in the afternoon,
everyone started to arrive at our house. We have a big backyard with a lot of grass and flowers, so
I had a lot of space to play with my cousins. We also rode bikes in the driveway. My aunt loves to
take pictures with her camera, so she took photographs of us and everyone at the party. It is really
fun to look at them year after year. My mom and dad made hotdogs and hamburgers with corn on
the cob for dinner. At night, we made a fire and ate marshmallows under the stars. I never wanted
the night to end. I can’t wait for next year’s party!

CULTURAL NOTE
Getting a Driver’s License
Look at a map of the United States and see how big the country is. People often need to travel
long distances to go to work, school, shopping, etc. While there are some local buses and trains
to use in some cities, the lack of public transportation means that many people need to drive
every day to get to where they need to go. In the U.S., you can drive a car as young as age 16.
To prepare for the driver’s test, you first need to learn the rules of the road by taking a driver’s
education class. Your instructor teaches you how to be a safe driver, then you can take a written
test to earn your learner’s permit (or driving permit). The test can cost between $30 and $100.
Each state is different. Some states allow you to take this test at age 14. Other states say 15 or
15 ½. A few states do not allow you to learn how to drive until the age of 16.
So, you passed your learner’s permit test? Great - time to start driving! You can practice driving
“behind-the-wheel” with your teacher or adult in the car. In some states, you may need between
30 and 50 hours of driving practice (including driving at night) before you can get your driver’s
license. At age 16 and with enough driving practice, you can finally take your driver’s test to get
your license!

CULTURAL NOTE
Gas and Petrol Station
When your gas tank is near empty in a car, it’s time to visit a gas station (also referred to as a
petrol station in England). If you’re on a highway, there might be signs near the exits that indicate
how close a gas station is located. Otherwise, you might have to search for the nearest station
before your car runs out of fuel.
When you arrive, you can pay with a credit card at the pump, or go inside and speak to someone
at the counter to pay with cash or credit card before you fill up your vehicle. Some locations are
service stations. This means they might have people who pump gas for you, or they might have a
store connected to the gas station. At this store, you can purchase drinks, food, or other common
supplies needed when traveling. You can also use the toilets for free.
The price of gas is dependent upon the price of oil, as well as local taxes. During peak travel
seasons or holidays, gas can be more expensive. If you are trying to get the best price for gas,
there is an app that shows the prices of nearby stations in order to find the cheapest price per
gallon.

LET’S BREAK IT DOWN!
PAST CONTINUOUS
The past continuous is often used to give background information for a story so people understand
what you are describing. For example: It was raining. I was running downtown.
You can use the past continuous to talk about events that were in progress at a certain time.
For example: At nine o’clock yesterday morning, I was driving to the bank.
POSITIVE STATEMENTS
I was
You were verb + ing
He / She / It was
We / They were
For example: I was going to the cathedral. They were buying books at the bookshop.
NEGATIVE STATEMENTS
I was not (wasn’t)
You
He / She / It were not (weren’t) verb + ing
We / They was not (wasn’t)
For example: It was not raining yesterday.
were not (weren’t)
We weren’t playing in the street.
QUESTIONS
Was I verb + ing ?
Were you
Was he / she / it
Were we / they
For example: Where were you stopping for gas? Was she getting money from the bank?
REMINDER: Spelling Rules
1. If a verb ends in -e, then remove the -e before adding the -ing.
For example: close → closing drive → driving
2. If a verb ends in one vowel and one consonant, then you double the consonant
(except when the consonant is a w or y).
For example: get → getting mow → mowing play → playing
