Unit 8 Is there a post office near here? Section B (1a-1e) — Asking for and Giving Directions Textbook: 人教版 Go for it! · Grade 7 (Second Semester) | 主题：城市设施与路线指引 1.7.2013 Hello, class! Welcome back. Today, we're going to start a new part of Unit 8. Look at the title, "Is there a post office near here?" Can you guess what we are going to talk about today? Yes, we're going to learn how to ask for and give directions. Let's get started! ‹#› 学习目标 知识目标 核心词汇：along, turn left/right, crossing, police station, hotel, pay phone。 关键句型：Go along... / Turn left/right at the... / It's on your left/right. 能力目标 听说技能：能够听懂日常的指路对话，根据听到的信息完成简单的地图标记任务。 语言运用：在真实的生活情境中，自信地运用所学词汇和句型进行问路与礼貌指路。 情感目标 品德修养：在交流中体会帮助他人的快乐，养成主动关心他人、礼貌待人的好习惯。 文化意识：了解不同文化中问路与指路的礼仪差异，培养跨文化交际中的包容与理解。 “ 今天我们不仅要学会认路，更要学会做一个温暖的引路人！ ” 1.7.2013 Before we start, let's look at our goals for today. By the end of this class, you will be able to use new words and sentences to ask for and give directions. We will also listen and speak a lot. Most importantly, we'll learn how to be a helpful person. Are you ready? ‹#› Warm-up: What's the problem? A man is standing at a crossroads with a map, looking confused and anxious. How does he feel? Look at his expression and body language. Is he happy, sad, or worried? What can he do? Brainstorm solutions! Can he ask for help, use a phone, or check a sign? 1.7.2013 Let's start with a warm-up. Look at this picture. This man looks worried, right? He seems to be lost. What do you think he can do to solve his problem? Discuss with your partner for 30 seconds. ‹#› How to ask for help? He can ask for help! Here are two great ways: 1. Use a map app. Check the directions on your phone’s map application. It can show you the best path and estimated time to get to your destination easily and quickly. 2. Ask someone for help. Talk politely to people around you, such as shopkeepers, neighbors, or passersby. They know the area well and can give you clear, friendly guidance. “Asking for help politely and giving clear directions are very important life skills. Today, we will become 'Community Navigation Experts' and learn how to communicate effectively to find our way!” 1.7.2013 Great ideas! He can use his phone, or he can ask someone for help. Both are good ways. Today, we are going to focus on the second one: asking for and giving directions. We'll become navigation experts in our community! ‹#› Flash Answer: What's this? Library A place where we read books and study quietly. Restaurant A place where we go to eat delicious food. Supermarket A big shop where we buy food and daily things. 1.7.2013 Before learning new things, let's review some places we've learned. I'll show you a picture, you say the word loudly. Ready? What's this? (点击图片) Yes, library! Next one... ‹#› Flash Answer: Where is it? 01. The Library Look at the map! The library is not far from the green area. It'snext tothe park. 02. The Restaurant Need to eat? The restaurant is on the opposite side of the street. It'sacross fromthe bank. 03. The Supermarket For groceries, go to the spot that’s in the middle. It'sbetweenthe hospital and the hotel. Pro Tip:Use prepositions likenext to, across from,and betweento clearly describe where places are on a map! 1.7.2013 Good job! Now, let's try to describe where they are. For example, where is the library? (引导学生回答) Yes, it's next to the park. How about the restaurant? ‹#› Vocabulary: New Places police station /pəˈliːs ˈsteɪʃn/ I want to go to thepolice stationwhen I need help. hotel /həʊˈtel/ We need to find ahotelto stay for the night in the city. pay phone /ˈpeɪ fəʊn/ It is a public phone. You pay to use it when you are out and about. Tip: These are all common places you might see in a city or town. Try to spot them on your next walk! 1.7.2013 Now let's learn some new places. Look at the first picture. This is a police station. Repeat after me: police station. Good. When do we go there? Yes, when we need help. Next one is a hotel. And this is a pay phone. It's different from our mobile phones. ‹#› Vocabulary: Actions 01. along /əˈlɒŋ/ Meaning: 沿着，顺着。 Action: 伸出手指，在平面上沿着一条虚拟直线慢慢滑动，直观演示“顺着方向移动”的含义。 Key Phrase:Go along the street. Example: Go along this road for about 5 minutes, and you'll find the small park on your left side. 02. crossing /ˈkrɔːsɪŋ/ Meaning: 十字路口，横道。 Visual: 两条道路交叉汇合的地方，是指路时最重要的地标之一，通常用“at the crossing”搭配。 Key Usage:at the first crossing Example: Turn left at the first crossing, and you will see the busy shopping mall right in front of you. 1.7.2013 To give directions, we also need some action words. The first one is 'along'. It means 沿着. So we say 'Go along the street'. Follow me, 'Go along'. And this is a 'crossing', a place where two roads meet. Repeat: crossing. ‹#› Vocabulary: Actions turn left （向左转） 教师做出向左转的手势，引导学生模仿头部和身体的转向动作，感受方向的变化。 "Turn left"at the corner. （在拐角处向左转。） turn right （向右转） 教师做出向右转的手势，带领学生转动身体，体会从左侧转向右侧的方位变化。 "Turn right"when you see the bank. （当你看到银行时向右转。） Class Activity: Stand up and practice turning left and right with your partner! 1.7.2013 Now, two very important actions: turn left and turn right. Everyone, stand up! Show me 'turn left'! Good! Now 'turn right'! Excellent! We use these when we change direction. ‹#› Practice: What's the word? Quick Flash A picture will flash on the screen. Keep your eyes peeled and focus! Speak Up Fast As soon as you see it, shout out the matching word or phrase aloud! Win the Challenge Let’s find out who can react the quickest and answer correctly! Police Station Where officers work to keep people safe. Hotel A place to stay when you’re traveling or on vacation. Pay Phone A public telephone that uses coins or cards to make calls. Crossing A place where people can safely walk across a road. Turning Left Changing direction to go towards your left side. Going Along a Street Walking or moving forward down a city street. 1.7.2013 Let's play a game to practice the new words! It's called 'What's the word?'. I'll show you a picture, you shout out the word. Are you ready? Let's go! ‹#› Sentence Pattern 1: Go along... Imagine you are on a street. Follow the yellow arrow to keep moving straight without turning! Bridge Street This is the main street we follow. Just keep going forward along it. Core Structure Go along+ [the street / the road] We use this pattern to tell someone to continue moving forward on the same path. Example 1 "Go along Bridge Street until you see the big park on your left side." Example 2 "Go along New Street, and the supermarket is right at the end of the road." Class Activity: Point to a street on your desk map and practice saying "Go along ____ Street!" with your partner. 1.7.2013 Now let's learn the sentences for giving directions. The first one is 'Go along...'. We use it to tell someone to keep moving on the same street. Look at the map, go along Bridge Street. Everybody, read after me: Go along Bridge Street. ‹#› Sentence Pattern 2: Turn left/right at the... ↩️ First Crossing ↪️ The Corner 🟡 Turn Left Look for the first intersection to make your left turn onto the new street. 🟠 Turn Right Find the sharp corner to turn right, which is usually near a building. 📝 Core Structure Turnleft / rightat the [crossing / corner]. This pattern is used to give precise direction changes in daily navigation. At the first crossing “Turn left at the first crossing, and you will see the supermarket on your left side.” At the corner “Turn right at the corner. The school gate is just around that corner.” 1.7.2013 When you need to change direction, you use 'Turn left' or 'Turn right'. And we often say where to turn, like 'at the first crossing' or 'at the corner'. Let's read the examples together. ‹#› Sentence Pattern 3: It's on your left/right. On Your LEFT Use this phrase when the place you’re looking for is on your left side as you walk forward. Example:The bank is on your left. On Your RIGHT Use this phrase when the place you’re looking for is on your right side as you walk forward. Example:The park is on your right. Tip:Pretend to walk forward! Point to your left hand when you say "The bank is on your left", and to your right hand for the park. It's a fun way to remember! 1.7.2013 Finally, when you get close to the place, you can say 'It's on your left' or 'It's on your right'. Imagine you are walking, the place is on your left side or right side. Let's practice. ‹#› Let's Combine Them! 01. Go along Green Street Start from your position and move straight down Green Street. Keep your eyes on the road signs to stay on track! 02. Turn right at the first crossing When you reach the first intersection with the red stop sign, make a right turn to change your direction. 03. Go along Park Road Continue walking straight along Park Road. You'll pass a small park with trees and benches on your right side. 04. The school is on your left Look to your left! You will see the big school building with a playground. That's your destination—you made it! 1.7.2013 Now let's put all the sentences together. Look at the map. Let's find the way to the school step by step. First, go along Green Street. Then, turn right... Great! You see? It's like giving a clear path. ‹#› Activity 1a: Match the words with the places. Look at the picture on page 46 of your book—it’s a map of a community! Your task is to read the words below and match each one with the correct letter shown on the map. You have two minutes to complete the activity. Police Station Pay Phone Hospital Hotel Restaurant Bank, Post Office & Park 1.7.2013 Now, open your books to page 46. Let's do activity 1a. Look at the map and the list of words. Match each word with the correct letter on the map. You have two minutes. Go! ‹#› Answer Key a.Park A green, open public space for recreation and nature. b.Bank A financial institution for deposits, loans, and exchanges. c.Police Station The headquarters of the police force for a specific area. d.Pay Phone A public telephone that uses coins or cards for calls. e.Hospital An institution providing medical and surgical treatment. f.Hotel An establishment providing paid lodging on a short-term basis. g.Restaurant A place where people pay to sit and eat meals cooked on site. h.Post Office A government department that handles mail and postage services. 1.7.2013 Time is up! Let's check the answers. Look at the screen. 'a' is park. 'b' is bank. How about 'c'? Yes, police station. Did you get them all right? ‹#› Let's Read Aloud Click on each location on the map! You’ll hear the correct pronunciation of the words related to that place. Let's explore together! Follow the audio Focus on the sound of each word carefully. Pay attention to the stress and intonation as the audio plays to capture the natural rhythm. Listen and repeat After hearing the word, say it out loud immediately. Try to match the speed, rhythm, and pronunciation exactly like the audio. 1.7.2013 Excellent! Now let's get familiar with the map. I will click on each place, you listen to the pronunciation and repeat after it. This will help you remember the words better. ‹#› Listening Practice: What's the plan? Our Mission:We will listen to three short conversations. Our goal is to learn how to understand spoken directions and record the routes accurately on a map, building our real-world listening and navigation skills. 01. Predicting Before listening, look at the map and the questions. Try to guess the places, directions, or key words you might hear in the audio. 02. Note-taking While listening, write down short keywords, numbers, or simple symbols quickly. Focus only on the most important information about the route. 03. Checking After listening, compare your notes with the map and the options. Double-check if the directions and places match what you heard. 1.7.2013 Next, we are going to do some listening. We will listen to three short conversations. Our goal is to understand directions and find places on the map. We'll use three important skills: predicting, note-taking, and checking. ‹#› Listening 1b: Pre-listening 01. The Task Listen carefully to a short conversation where a boy is asking for directions in a new place. Your job is to write the correct letters of the places he mentions into the blanks on your worksheet. 02. Let's Predict! Before we listen, think: What places do you think the boy will ask about? Share your ideas with a partner—could it be a restaurant, a hotel, a park, or maybe a train station? Tip: Write down key words you hear (like street names or landmarks) to help you match the letters later! 1.7.2013 Let's start with task 1b. Read the task carefully. We need to write letters for the hotel and the restaurant. Before listening, let's guess. What places do you think the boy is looking for? ‹#› Listening 1b: Listen and Write 1. Listen to the conversation Pay close attention to the details about the hotel and the restaurant mentioned in the audio clip. 2. Write the correct letters Write down the corresponding letters for the hotel and the restaurant on your worksheet. Audio Time! Click the play button to start the recording. Listen only once and be ready to take notes! Teacher’s Tip: Pause the audio if needed to give students enough time to write down the answers. 1.7.2013 Okay, now let's listen. I will play the audio once. Listen carefully and write down the letters on your paper. Ready? Let's listen. ‹#› Listening 1b: Check Answers Boy:Excuse me. Is there a restaurant near here? And where's the hotel? Girl:Yes, go along New Street, turn right at the first crossing. The restaurant is on your left next to the hotel, which is across from the police station. Hotel: Answer is“f” It is located across from the police station. Restaurant: Answer is“g” It is on the left after turning right, next to the hotel. Go along New Street Follow the main road direction Turn right at crossing First intersection turn Next to & Across from Use "next to the hotel" and "across from police station" to locate. 1.7.2013 Time's up! Let's check the answers. The hotel is 'f' and the restaurant is 'g'. Let's listen to the conversation again and find the key words that helped us find the answer. ‹#› Listening 1c: Pre-listening Task Time! Listen again to the conversation carefully, then fill in the blanks with the correct words from what you hear. 01.The restaurant is ______ the hotel. (Think: Where is the restaurant located relative to the hotel?) 02.The hotel is ______ the police station. (Think: Is it next to, across from, or near it?) Teacher's Tip:The missing words are prepositions of place (e.g., next to, across from, behind) that we learned in the previous lesson. Listen for position words! 1.7.2013 Good job! Now let's listen to the same conversation again for task 1c. This time, we need to fill in the blanks. The words are prepositions. Can you guess which ones? ‹#› Listening 1c: Listen and Fill Your Task: Listen to the conversation for the second time. This time, pay close attention to the specific locations mentioned (like the restaurant and the hotel). Write the missing words or phrases into the blanks on your worksheet accurately. Focus on Details Listen carefully for prepositions of place (next to, across from, between) that describe where things are located. Play the Audio Press the play button below. Pause if you need more time to write. Don't worry if you miss something—we can replay it! 1.7.2013 Let's listen to the conversation again. Focus on the position of the restaurant and the hotel. Write down the words in the blanks. ‹#› Listening 1c: Check Answers 01. Next to The restaurant isnext tothe hotel. Meaning: 紧挨着，指两个物体的位置是相邻、紧贴的，强调近距离的毗邻关系。 02. Across from The hotel isacross fromthe police station. Meaning: 在……对面，指两个物体隔着街道、河流等空间彼此相对，是对面的位置关系。 Pro Tip:These prepositions of place are essential for giving directions. Try to use them when describing where your home or school is! 1.7.2013 What are your answers? Let's check. Number one is 'next to'. Number two is 'across from'. Great! These are very useful prepositions. Let's review them one more time. ‹#› Listening 1d: Pre-listening Your Mission Listen to a conversation where a girl asks for directions to the post office. Follow her journey closely and draw the exact route on your map as you listen! Key Points to Catch Starting Point:Where is she when she asks for help? Direction Words:Listen for "go along", "turn left/right" and "cross". Final Position:What’s the landmark at the post office? 💡 Pro Tip: Don’t worry if you miss a word! Focus on the key actions and draw step by step. 1.7.2013 Now for a more challenging task, 1d. We need to listen and draw the route on our map. The girl is going to the post office. Listen for the starting point, the directions, and where she finally is. ‹#› Listening 1d: Listen and Draw Step 1: Listen Attentively Listen to the conversation between the tour guide and the group. Focus on key directional words (left, right, straight ahead, next to) and landmarks mentioned along the way. Step 2: Map the Route Grab your map worksheet! On the second playthrough, use a colored pencil to draw the path the tourists take. Mark important stops and turns as you hear them. Ready to start?I will play the audio twice. First time: just listen. Second time: draw! Make sure your map and a pencil are ready. 1.7.2013 Okay, let's listen. I will play it twice. The first time, just listen. The second time, draw the route. Ready? ‹#› Listening 1d: Check the Route Girl:Excuse me. I'm trying to find the post office. Could you tell me the way to get there, please? Man:Sure! Go along New Street. Turn left at the first crossing. Then go along Bridge Street. You'll see the post office on your right, right between the hospital and the park. 1. Start & Go Straight From your starting point, walk along New Street until you reach the first crossing. 2. Turn Left & Continue Make a left turn at the first crossing, then follow Bridge Street all the way down. 3. Arrive at the Post Office Look to your right! It’s between the hospital and the park—you can’t miss it. 1.7.2013 Finished? Let's check the correct route. Look at the screen. The yellow line shows the way. Did you draw the same? Let's read the conversation together to confirm. ‹#› Listening Strategy: How to understand directions? 01. Find the starting point Always listen carefully to identify where the journey begins. Knowing the starting location is the foundation of understanding the whole route. 02. Catch the direction words Focus on key action verbs and phrases:go along, turn left, turn right. These words tell you exactly how to move. 03. Remember the landmarks Note important places along the way:crossing, bank, hotel. Landmarks help you confirm you are on the correct path. 04. Identify left / right Pay attention to position words likeon your left, on your right. This tells you where the destination or landmark is located relative to you. 1.7.2013 Listening to directions can be tricky, but if you follow these four steps, it will be much easier. First, find where you start. Second, catch the key direction words. Third, remember the landmarks. And finally, identify left or right. ‹#› Quick Q&A Route 01 "How can I get to the hospital from the police station?" Route 02 "How can I get to the park from the hotel?" Route 03 "How can I get to the bank from the post office?" Now it's your turn! Try to describe the directions aloud using the sentence structures we've learned. Don't be afraid to make mistakes—practice makes perfect! 1.7.2013 Now let's practice. I will ask you how to get from one place to another on the map. Try to use the sentences we learned. For example, "How can I get to the hospital from the police station?" Who can try? ‹#› Speaking: Activity 1e Your Task: Pair Work Work with a partner to practice asking for and giving directions in the city. One of you is avisitor(lost and needing help), and the other is a friendlylocal person(who knows the area well). Use the map on page 46 to guide your conversation to different locations like the bank, park, or library! Example Dialogue Visitor (A):Excuse me, could you help me? I'm trying to find the nearest bank. Is there one near here? Local (B):Yes, of course! Go straight along Main Street, then turn right at the traffic lights. Walk for two blocks, and it's on your left, next to the coffee shop. Tip: Use phrases like“Go along...”,“Turn left/right...”, and“It's on your left/right”to make directions clear! 1.7.2013 Now it's time to speak! Let's do activity 1e. Work with your partner. One of you is a visitor asking for directions, the other is a local person giving directions. Use the map. I'll give you an example. ‹#› Language Support Asking for Directions Excuse me. Where's the ______? Is there a ______ near here? How can I get to the ______? Giving Directions Go along ______. Turn left / right at the ______. It's on your left / right. It's next to / across from the ______. Thanking & Responding Thank you very much. / Thanks a lot. You're welcome. / No problem. Use these to be polite and friendly in conversations! Tip: Fill in the blanks with places like "supermarket", "park", or "bus stop" to make real sentences! 1.7.2013 Here is some language support to help you. You can use these sentences to ask for directions, give directions, and also to thank people. Feel free to use them in your conversation. ‹#› Model Dialogue Scene: A asks for the way to the park. Let's practice how to ask for and give directions politely. Person A "Excuse me. Where's the park? I'm a bit lost and need to get there as soon as possible." Person B "Go along Bridge Street.
