Ask four or five Pp stand in a line. The first P is a tour guide. When the tour guide says: on the left, on the right, straight ahead, behind us, the other Pp point in the right direction and say, Look there’s… E.g. the tour guide says, Straight ahead is Trafalgar Square. Pp point straight ahead and say, Look there’s Trafalgar Square staright a head.

Pp say twenty sentences, two about each country, city or buildingusing the superlative forms of these adjectives, e.g.: I think Moscow is the most beaujtiful city. I don’t think Moscow is the biggest city.
