A continuación les presento el itinerario del viaje, junto con el correspondiente ejercicio de diálogo. Este ejercicio requiere que ustedes se lean la información de cada itinerario para completar los diálogos. Una vez los hayan finalizado, practiquen con su compañer@ el role-play, es decir, dos turnos: en el primero usted hace las preguntas y su compañer@ responde, en el segundo turno usted sólo responde y es su compañer@ es quien pregunta. Por supuesto, ustedes puden adaptar el diálogo como mejor les parezca. Cualquier duda se podrá responder en la tutoría del domingo 12 de septiembre, de 6 PM a 9 PM.
¡Espero que les guste! Suerte compañer@s.
