Explanation

People go on holiday, or vacation, to see new places. A tourist visits a city, a museum or a beach. Before the trip we put clothes in a suitcase. We need a passport to go to another country, and we need a ticket for a plane or a train. At the hotel there may be a swimming pool. We take a camera for photos and wear sunglasses in the sun. Some families go to a theme park for fun. Say the words and look at the pictures.

Worked examples
Hoda

Dad, is my passport in the bag?

Father

Yes, it is. And your ticket is there too.

Hoda

I put my sunglasses and my camera in the suitcase.

Father

Good. We will stay in a hotel with a swimming pool.

Listen. Hoda and her father pack for a trip.

Hi Salma,
Greetings from Japan! We arrived on Sunday with two big suitcases and our passports. Our hotel has a swimming pool on the roof. Yesterday we took a very fast train to another city. Today we visited a museum and took a lot of photos with the camera you gave me. The weather is warm, so I wear my sunglasses. I miss you!
Love,
Aunt Mervat

Read and listen to the email.

Look at the map. Egypt and Japan are marked. Aunt Mervat is in Japan.
Now you. Tell a grown-up three things you take with you on a trip.
Class activity

Pack the suitcase. Draw a big suitcase on paper. The grown-up says a place: the beach, a cold city, a museum. The child writes or draws five things to take and says: I take sunglasses because it is sunny. Then change.
