The 40-minute lesson plan aims to teach listening skills through a worksheet about two Hong Kong tourist attractions: the Hong Kong Museum of History and the Big Buddha. Students will first read background materials and then listen to audio guides to complete information sheets. They will then discuss which attraction they prefer and why. For homework, students will design an information sheet for another Hong Kong tourist spot using online research.
