The Big Taiwan Day · the planner

台灣一日遊・行程表

Dom's activity and her homework are the same shape, so fill this in during class and the homework is already half done. Every row needs a time, a price and one sentence a visitor could actually follow.
Dom 的活動和作業是同一個形狀,所以課堂上填完這張表,作業就先做掉一半。每一列都要有時間、價錢,和一句訪客真的跟得上的說明。

  1. 09:00 Breakfast at ______ . Try ______ . About NT$______ .
  2. 10:30 Take the ______ to ______ . It takes about ______ minutes.
  3. 12:30 Lunch: ______ . Warn your visitor about ______ .
  4. 15:00 Afternoon: ______ . Entry is NT$______ .
  5. 18:00 Night market: ______ . Three things to eat: ______ .
  6. 21:00 Getting home: ______ .

Recommendation language

推薦的說法

An itinerary without recommendation language is a timetable. Dom's homework asks for three recommendations — these are the structures that turn a list into advice.
沒有推薦語的行程表只是時刻表。Dom 的作業要三個推薦——下面這些句型能把清單變成建議。

  1. You should definitely try ______ .
  2. If you only have time for one thing, go to ______ .
  3. It's worth ______ -ing. (It's worth waiting in line.)
  4. I'd avoid ______ on weekends — it gets very crowded.
  5. Make sure you ______ before you leave.

Survival round · thirty seconds each

生存快問・一人三十秒

Call a situation; the student has thirty seconds to say the right sentence. No writing. This is the exam the whole unit was for, and it should feel fast and a little frightening.
喊出情境,學生三十秒內說出正確的句子。不准寫。這是整個單元真正的考試,節奏要快,有一點緊張感才對。

  1. You are lost at Taipei Main Station.
  2. The shirt is too small.
  3. You cannot eat seafood.
  4. Your room key does not work.
  5. The server brought the wrong dish.
  6. Someone recommends a place — respond warmly.
  7. You want to know what is good on the menu.
  8. Your flight is delayed and you will miss your connection.

Exit ticket · one day, one sentence

出場券・一天,一句話

The single recommendation they would give a visitor who has only one afternoon in Changhua. It has to be specific — a name, not a category.
如果訪客在彰化只有一個下午,他們會給的那一個推薦。必須具體——要說得出名字,不能只說類別。

  1. If you only have one afternoon in Changhua, you should ______ because ______ .

Prep · 備課 No preparation needed. This is the review week, so the list below is not vocabulary — it is the ten sentences that carry a person through a whole day in a foreign country. If a student leaves with only these, the unit has done its job.
不必備課。這是複習週,所以下面這張表不是單字,是「能撐著一個人在異國過完一整天」的十句話。學生只帶走這十句,這個單元就算成功了。

Optional video / media plug-in影片與媒體(選用)

Optional: Taipei/Travel vlog in English.

Homework回家作業 · due next week

Next-week routine下週例行
