You will work with readings about travel destinations and create travel posts and short video presentations about monuments, places you have visited, and your own experiences. In the second module, you will move into art and culture, learning vocabulary related to art, culture, and urban development while comparing present perfect simple with simple past and using present perfect simple and present perfect continuous to describe change.
