Show the route on the map.

　　Then, teachers can give the students several minutes to prepare for the description. They can be divided into several groups and talk about the route in groups. The students will be in the front before the map to present their work.

　　One sample answer:

　　Now I'm at the door of the canteen. First I should turn right, walk to the first crossing and turn left. After that, I have to walk straight on to the end of the road, get the book I want in the dormitory. Then I can return from the same way to the canteen, walk on until the end of the road and classroom four is on my left.

　　→Step 4 Consolidation

　　To strengthen the memory of the words and sense of direction, we can give the students more practice.

　　Ask the students to take out the maps they prepared before class. Let them discuss the map and put their maps into English first.

　　One sample map

　　Practice one On the first day you come to school, you want to get some hot water in the water room. You are at the gate of the dormitory. You ask a schoolmate for help. Make up a dialogue with your partner. One acts as your schoolmate, who knows the way.

　　One sample answer:

　　You: Excuse me, pal. I'm a new student here, and I'm not so familiar with the school buildings.

　　Schoolmate (S for short): What do you think I can do for you?

　　You: I want to go to the water room to get some hot water. But I don't know how I can get there.

　　S: It's easy. Now we are at the gate of the dormitory. And the room is just in the south of the dormitory beside the store.

　　You: But where is the store?

　　S: Go down the road in front of our dormitory and turn left at the first crossing and you will find the store on your left. The water room is next to it.

　　You: Thank you so much.

　　S: My pleasure.
