The teacher is doing task-based language teaching.
The Task-Based Approach (TBA) has gained popularity in the field of language teaching since the last decade of the 20th Century. Task-based language teaching:- It is teaching where the planning and teaching depend on a task.

• In this case, the teacher is asking to present a short presentation for a vacation. So, it is based on a particular task.
• Task-based learning is especially conducive to group learning. Learning a language as a group is also a very important contributor to effective retention. Collaborating with others and becoming confident with the language within a group is a key step in acquiring that language.
• Task-based learning uses a lesson structure that incorporates different activities to solve a task. The task can span the length of an entire lesson or, if it’s project-based learning, it can take up several lessons to complete.

Thus, it is concluded that a teacher asks students she plans a vacation they’re going to take together as a group, and then after coming from vacation they will do a short presentation about it to the class, or submit a written assignment or video explaining it. The teacher is doing Task-based language teaching.

Writing is the physical expression of what you think. The close relationship between writing and thinking makes writing valuable. As young children struggle with what to put down next, or how to put it down on paper, they often discover a new way of expressing an idea. If the writing process is to develop naturally, the following approaches should be followed:

• It is important to allow some mother tongue usage until such time as when a child has enough mastery over the second language to not require the mother tongue.
• A teacher should motivate the student to read more storybooks and he should take informal feedback about new words encountered.
• During reading the storybook the student will encounter new words while the teacher could introduce and explain those new words which will help the student to better express his/her thought in conversation and in writing.
• We need to facilitate the transition by providing suitable vocabulary or structures, as well as motivating children by creating a real need to communicate.

Therefore, we conclude that with the help of the above-mentioned points, a teacher can help students expressing his/her views.

Height of Visakhapatnam = 45 m
Height of Mount Everest = 8848 m
Difference in the heights = 8803 m or 8.80 km
The average atmospheric lapse rate results in a temperature decrease of 3.5°F/1,000 ft (6.4°C/km) of altitude.
Average decrease in temperature = 8.80 x 6.4 = 56.32° Celsius
The temperature in Visakhapatnam was 40° Celsius.
Therefore, the temperature on Mount Everest will be 40 - 56.32 = -16.352° or -16° Celsius approx.
