3
Tell the students that they are going to listen to three
people who are each asking for directions to a place and
they have to work out where the person wants to go.
First, ask the students to find the three people on the
map. For conversation 1, they look at where Person 1 is
located on the map and follow the directions that Person
1 is given, which will lead them to the place Person 1
wants to go to, and so on.
MIXED ABILITY
With a
mixed ability class, give an example first by
reading out the directions in the recording and asking the
students to trace the route with their fingers on the map.
If the students find the recording too difficult, photocopy
the audioscript, allow them to read and listen at the same
time and trace the route.
