Writing tips for a fun stay

Write tips for other students.

Another class is going to Australia soon. Write tips for them: “Tips for a Fun Stay”. Remember to refer to the categories that you researched in Process 2, as well as information you found out from other groups. Write 3 sentences about the following:

• About the country
  
• People
  
• Culture and life style
  
• Leisure
  
• The natural environment

For each category write tips about each of the following (as appropriate):

• What to take
  
• Where to go
  
• What to do
  
• What to expect

To write tips you can use language like this

• Don’t miss out on ….
• Make sure you …
• You should ….
• It’s a good idea to …
• Be careful with …
• Remember to ….
• Try to …
• Try not to …

For example:

• "Don’t miss out on a ferry ride across Sydney Harbour."
  
  
• "In the north it can get very hot in summer, so make sure you buy a hat to protect you from the sun."

Make a Travel Tips brochure.

Read the sentences that other students in your group have written. What is similar or different about them? Select the most useful information and compile a guide brochure for students travelling to Australia.

Divide the brochure into sections:

• About the country
  
• People
  
• Culture and life style
  
• Leisure
  
• The natural environment

Choose the graphics you want to use on the brochure. The finished brochure should look like this (2 sides of an A4 page).
