Then we turn right. Finally, we walk along, the same as go along. So how about this one? How can I get to the hospital? S: Go along and turn left and walk along…. T: Here, if we know the name of the street, we can say in this way. Go along Bridge Street and turn right at Center Street. Just put the name of the street at the end of the verb phrases. Step5—have a try (1)Purpose: practice the expressions more deeply (2)Contents: give the pictures of the way and make conversations to give the direction (3)Instructions:

T: Okay, here is the picture. We can see there are two persons, Nancy and Paul. Paul is asking the way to the hotel. If you are Nancy, how can you give directions. Here is the hospital. So let’s do it together. “Excuse me, is there a hotel in the neighborhood?”

S: Yes, there is. Just go along and turn left. It’s on Bridge Street on the right. It’s next to a supermarket. T: So you just need to follow the directions of the arrows and give the way. Let’s have another try. (the rest are the same) Step6—1b listen and write (1)Purpose: do the listening task (2)Contents: listen to the material and write the correct place for each letter

you done? S: Yes. T: So let’s role play the conversation. Girls, you are A. Boys, you are B. Excuse me, is there a hotel around here? One, two, go. S: Excuse me, is there a hotel around here?... T: Okay, guys. Here, please underline some important expressions in the conversation, such as “go along, turn left at the first crossing…”

I want to mention that “turn right at the first crossing”

is the same as “take the first crossing on the right”. Please write it down and remember it. So how to say “turn left at the second crossing”?

S: Take the second crossing on the left. T: Yes. Take the second crossing on the left. Step8—summary (1)Purpose: let students remember the expressions more easily (2)Contents: summarize the expressions. (3)Instructions:
