This is a Critical Reading Club worksheet. With this format, students need to read an online article at home and do the exercises in the classroom. Learn more about how to use such worksheets and their benefits in our post.
ACTIVITIES
In the warm-up task, students look at a list of words and need to choose those that they associate most with travelling. Then, students read seven sentences with some bolded words (e.g. fatigue, tranquillity, sublime, intangible). They decide which words are in the correct sentences and replace the incorrect words with those from other sentences. Students also choose three of the statements and comment on them. They need to consider trends, people they know and their experience. Next, students discuss some questions about the article they read at home and about the benefits of travelling. Finally, they look at different ways of travelling (e.g. voluntourism, ecotourism, dark tourism) and explain what they might be about. They also say what the unique benefit of each way might be and share any experiences they have with these types of travelling.

Hi there!
Thank you for yet another amazing lesson.
I was wondering if you perhaps meant “indulgent” in sentence d, task 2?
Hi Veronika! The word is ‘indulge’ and it needs to be moved from d) to f): ‘Travelling only makes sense if you indulge in your favourite activities…’
Really not a fan of question 2. Seeing the wrong words ‘in context’ just confuses them. Could you update it with the correct words and they have to guess the meaning? That’s more logical
Thanks for sharing! Some of the words are used correctly – students could find them first and then decide what to do with the rest. They could also focus on parts of speech necessary for each gap and identify what part of speech each word is (as many are obvious because of the suffixes). But I get that students might get confused if they don’t know most of the words. We’ll keep that in mind when creating vocabulary activities in the future.
