Discussion

In this process, divide the Ss into four groups, one question for two groups. Show the two

questions on the screen.

Questions:

1. What sort of people do you think travel on the Ghan train?

2. What kind of towns and villages do you think the train passed?

T: Now, boys and girls, are you ready for discussing the two questions on the screen?

Question 1 for Group 1 and Group 2.

S1: We think young students who are having a holiday travel on the Ghan train. They like

traveling on the train. On the one hand, as students, they don’t have enough money. Traveling on train is much cheaper than traveling on a plane. On the other hand, traveling on a train is

relatively safer than traveling on other vehicles.

S2: In our opinion, a group of Chinese tourists travel on the Ghan train. They want to see Australia. On the train they can enjoy the colorful scenery on the way. Besides, traveling on the

train is very comfortable and they can also talk to other passengers on the train to improve their spoken English.

T: Very good. Question 2 for Group 3 and Group 4.

S3: We consider that the towns and villages the train passed are wild, because the central part of Australia is desert and there are no people living there.

S4: We don’t agree with them. In our opinion, maybe some villages and towns are abandoned, but these should be in the middle. Alice travels from Sydney, which is on the coast. So there must be prosperous towns and villages on the way.

T: All of you did a good job. Maybe some students have different ideas. That’s

OK. You may search on the Internet to get more information after class. Traveling is to experience and to learn more about other parts of the world and people who are leading a quite different life. Tourism, as

one of the most promising industries in the 21st century, provides people with great opportunities

to see everything all over the world. It has become a lifestyle for some people, and the global travel has put it in the spot light. One day when you have the chance to travel abroad, don

to write a travel note, and share it with your classmates.
