Introduction
Dear students,
You are going to move to the UK because you want to learn English during your summer holidays. You have to search information about several cities in order to go to the place that best fits you. Depending on your interests each city provides you different things. So, your aim is to find the best city for you.
There is one city that you can't afford to go: London. It is too expensive and you can't afford the accommodation there.
Task
You have to make a presentation talking about all the advantages about the city that you have chosen. It is important to make clear:
- Why is the best city for you?
- Can you study English in a language school or summer camp?
- Can you tell me some curious facts about the city?
Process
One way to find out which is the best city for you is just to search information depending on your interest.
