Activity 18
• Allow some time for students to
draw a samovar. If you have a
picture of one, do not show it
to them, as they should recreate
the image by reading the
description in the essay.
• Encourage them to compare
their drawings and focus on the
similarities they captured.
• Tell them to look for detailed
paragraphs in the essays they
selected. They can choose
objects or scenes described. If
they are working with the essays
from the Reader’s Book, they can
draw the place where dragons
sleep in the text about tea in
China, or the street vendors
in a busy Indian city
advertising “chai”.
• Have students read the essay
and answer any questions they
may have. Bring some pictures
of a tea ceremony and the
utensils used while performing
it. Make some tea following a
Japanese recipe so students
can try it.

Activity 19

• Encourage students to first read through the dialogue and then to reread it, completing it with the missing
words.
• Remind them to have the essays at hand, as the answers are there.
• Ask a few students to perform the dialogue in front of the class.
• Allow some time for them to write a similar dialogue discussing the cultural traditions from the essays they
selected. They can use the structure of the dialogue provided as an example. If there are several pairs
of students working on the same topic, they can write a dialogue as a team, talking about the different
cultures.
• Encourage them to perform their dialogues for the rest of the class.

Activity 20
• Read the paragraph with students and ask them what the underlined sentences represent.
• Help them decode what each line means and elicit examples.
