Weather or Not: Climate and Travel
What do you already know about how weather can affect travel?
Learning Objective
At the end of the lesson you will be able to explain how weather influences travel plans and use linking words and articles when discussing travel.
Discuss: What Do You See?
Look at the picture. What kind of weather is shown? How might it affect a trip? Share your ideas.
How Does Weather Affect Travel?
Clear weather allows safe travel and enjoyment of outdoor activities. Warm and sunny days are popular with tourists, especially at beaches and parks.
Negative Effects
Storms, heavy rain, or snow can cause delays and cancellations. Bad weather sometimes means you must change your plans or even cancel your trip.
Positive Effects
Language Focus: Linking Words
Linking words help connect ideas: because, however, although, but, and, so. For example: 'We went to the beach because it was sunny.'
Language Focus: Articles
Articles (a, an, the) are important: 'The rain delayed our flight.' 'A snowstorm can change your holiday.' Remember to use them before nouns.
Practice Task: Complete the Sentences
Fill in the blanks: 1. We visited __ famous mountain although it was foggy. 2. I packed __ umbrella because it rained every day. 3. The plane was late, __ we had to wait in the airport.
Think Deeper: Reflection
If you could change the weather for any trip, what kind of weather would you choose and why? How do linking words and articles make your reasons clearer?
