Activity 2b Work in pairs. Ask and answer. 7 min

Objective: to give further practice in using geographical names

STEP 1: Draw the pupils‟ attention to the two sentences in the Remember box. Ask why the preposition “to” is used in the first sentence with “the north of Uzbekistan” and why the preposition “in” is used in the second sentence with “the west of Uzbekistan”. Elicit the answers. At the end explain that if we are talking about the places located beyond the borders of

a country, we use the preposition “to” with the words meaning geographical zones, and if we are talking about the places located within the borders of a country, we use the preposition “in” with the words meaning geographical zones.
