Warm-up

Before we look back at unit 5:

1. Which natural place in your country would you show a visitor first?
2. Has a trip ever gone completely differently from your plan?
3. Think of the last five lessons: which new structure have you already used outside class?

Five things to watch: to have + past participle for an earlier event, and one pattern at a time; no extra it and no question order after What; would, not will, for a future that is past now; that, not what, and It, not This; no the with one lake, mountain or island, but the with oceans, seas, rivers and mountain ranges.
