My Dream Destination
This week and the next, we are learning to describe a country we want to visit in the future,
especialy the one where we want to build our career at. We are also learning to explain the reasons
why we are interested with the country, and most importantly what cultural aspects of the country
we need to know. To help you research the information effectively, you are guided by a KWL table.
By completing the table, you are expected to satisfy your curiousity on certain aspects of your
dream country.

In the previous lesson, you have reviewed and explained some cultural aspects of our beloved
Indonesia, i.e., how Indonesian people start conversations, conduct conversation, show emotion,
and how they dress and view the concept of punctuality. To help you strat the information research
regarding your dream country, you can think of these four cultural aspects. Of course, you are
welcome to research more aspects.

In the third page of this handout, you have a venn diagram to help you identify the similarities
and/or differences between the cultural aspects of your dream country and those of Indonesia or
your country of origin. On the Mid-term exam, you will use both your completed KWL table and
ven diagram to help you compose an essay. Then, in its turn, you will use your Mid-term essay to
work on your third speaking/video project. So, be sure to:

1. bring this handout (all pages) to the mid-term exam. Your handout should contain ONLY
information you need to put in the KWL table and venn diagram. You are NOT
ALLOWED to write your draft for the essay in this handout.
2.
3. get the scored handout and mid-term essay for the purpose of completing speaking/video 3
project.

Bring this handout with you to the Mid-term Exam
