Students may need more time to work on the idioms

If takes longer than 5 minutes, cut answer-check short by verbally sharing the answers instead of having students write them on the board

If students finish their tasks earlier than anticipated

Ask as many students as possible about countries they want to visit in the future.

3. I visited Santorini last summer.

I visited Santorini last summer. The warm weather welcomed me as soon as I arrived. The sun was shining brightly, and there was a cool breeze coming from the sea. The coast was beautiful, with many cliffs and sandy beaches.

I arrived at my hotel in the afternoon. It was a lovely building. Next, I went shopping at a souvenir shop in town. The owner was very helpful and friendly. Then I walked along the beach. I put my feet in the water and breathed the fresh air. That was my favorite part of the trip. In the evening, I went to a restaurant and had a great dinner. Santorini is a fantastic place to visit.
