 Step 2: Each student will describe one city:
o Make a list of the public places around the cities you have
chosen.

in your dialogue. Use the correct grammar for singular
and plural. E.g: "There is an old church near my home." /
"There are modern museums in my town".

dialogue. E.g: "What is there in your town?" / "Is there a
gas station in your city? In my city, there is a/an...".

answer questions.
