Correct answers

Mr Jones wants to go on a  to Ibiza but he is not very familiar with travelling abroad. That is why Mr Jones goes to a travel agency for advice. But before Mr Jones goes to the travel agency he makes a list of requirements for his trip. During his travel, he wants to stay in a hotel with a large pool in which he can swim. Throughout his trip, he wants to see a bit of the island. However, Mr Jones is a little bit afraid to travel across the island by himself. That is why he wants to take part in a guided trip with a travel guide. When Mr Jones is at the travel agency, the travel agent tells him he needs a passport for his trip. The travel agent offers him an all-inclusive hotel with a pool. Mr Jones is satisfied with the service and doesn’t have any complains. On top of everything, the travel agent offers him a discount for his trip, so Mr Jones doesn’t have to pay for everything. Mr Jones has to fill in his personal information, name and surname, and then the trip is booked. 

Check in duo’s (wordlist)

How: Individually you are going to find the correct meaning of a list of words.

Help: You are allowed to use a dictionary.

Time: 10 minutes

Outcome: You can recognize the English word and the Dutch translation.

Done: You are going to compare your answers with your neighbour first. If you have different translations, you will have to agree on one of the two.

30 seconds

How: You will be split up into groups of four. Within these groups, there are two teams of 2 students. Each group will get a set of cards with words from the wordlist. One of the team members will describe the word on the card without actually saying the word. The other team member tries to guess the word.

When the 30 seconds are over, it’s the other team’s turn. The team who guessed the most words wins.

Help: You have to describe the words in English, but if you are struggling too much you can use Dutch.

Time: 10 minutes
