1- Vocabulary
Students can work alone and check in pairs. For UK/US terms, you can focus on the terms that are appropriate
for your students. Go through the answers with the class and model pronunciation. This is a good opportunity for
students to practise the structure `there is' / `there are'. Make sure students also talk about what they don't have
in their town, e.g. `there isn't a mosque'/`there aren't any mosques'.
1. a bus stop
3. a church
5. a train station
