A simple way to teach it
Before the lesson
Give learners page 1 and keep the page 2 answer key separate. Its question forms are targets; personal answers are models, not required wording.
- Contrast visiting Lisbon twice with going there on the last trip in the example.
- Complete A about food, a day off, an interesting place and learning something new; include a relevant personal detail.
- Reorder B's solo travel, last holiday and recent films questions, then ask a past-simple follow-up about one experience.
Support and extension
Use have + past participle for experience up to now and did + base verb for a finished past time. Do not pair present perfect with last month in these questions.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
