What can you not live without?

If we have time after making our blog, we will do the following activity:

We often say in English that it is best to "travel light." This means to travel with as little as possible so that travel is easier. Imagine that you are taking a long trip--i.e. at least several months. In addition to obvious things like your tickets, money, and clothes (I hope!), brainstorm 3-5 items that you would definitely bring with you on your trip and think about why they are so important. Here are some expressions you can use:

There's no way I could live without my _____...
I would never leave home without my _____...
There's no way in the world I could travel without my _____...
I wouldn't even think about going on a long trip without my _____...


If you disagree with someone's decision, be honest and let them know! You can use the expressions below:

Are you kidding me? What in the world do you need that for you?
What??? Do you really think something like that is important?
You gotta be kidding me! Don't you think there are more important things than that?
You can't be serious! I can think of a hundred things more important than that!

What about ______?
Have you forgotten _____?
Don't you think you'll need ______?
Do you think you can travel without _____?

Have fun and, again, don't be afraid to disagree with your classmates and poke fun at each other!!!
