Now as far as practice goes: • Upon asking Ayano about her tastes, Mr. Kaiba has found out that she loves animals and the beach. • Based on what she told him, he believes Ayano should go to Shirahama in order to enjoy a good time at the beach. • After going to Shirahama, Mr. Kaiba also took Ayano to the Adventure World, which was built just over 10 years ago, but has a large number of animals.
Now let us all try to become travel agents: • Ask your partners the questions on the handout being given to you right now. Fill in the hand out and memorize the answers.
And Now for the Drama: • Since you have discovered about each other's tastes, based on such tastes let's prepare a drama in which you have to create a travel plan to your partner in order to show him or her around based upon her or his tastes.
