Revision
Go over what we learnt in Lesson 2.
-How do you prefer to travel?
-How do you travel that way? Why?
Structure
Explain the pattern It + be + adj. + infinitive to the students. Use the sentences in the box.
Pattern in Use
An infinitive or an infinitive phrase can serve as the subject of a sentence. The infinitive can be placed first:
To take a plane is expensive.
To travel by train is cheaper than traveling by plane.
To play in the park is fun.
But it is more usual to place it first and move the infinitive or infinitive phrase to the end of sentence:
It is expensive to take a plane.
It is cheaper to travel by train than travel by plane.
It’s fun to play at the park.
It here has no meaning in the sentence. It is merely a placeholder or artificial subject. Aside from the verb to be, other verbs – including appear and seem – can be also used:
It seems impossible to walk to the city.
It appears advisable to compromise.
Activity A
Students should fill in the blanks, using the given words in the box. Make sure the students know the vocabulary first.
Answers: 1. faster 2. to take 3. expensive 4. to walk 5. to watch 6. to travel

Ask the students to share what they wrote in C with their partner. Encourage the students to make a dialogue with their partners and practice it.
