(taking a bus, metro, taxi, walk, etc) and what about the time that you aren't familiar with city and directions like the time you go on holiday? how do you find out how to get to a place? elicit possible answers like: using a map or GPS, ask someone for help. then through examples teach vocabularies such as : departure, destination and direction. then Ss are given a short time to take a look at the map and name different places on it.
exercise A in part 1 bring some photos showing people asking for direction and teach the relevant vocabularies such as: go straight, turn right/left, go up/down, go to the end of, block, take the turning, on the right/left, traffic lights, crosswalk, pedestrian crossing, zebra crossing, junction, circle, dead end street, etc. (plus repetition and boarding) listen to the conversation between two people asking for and giving direction. first time listen for the destination second time follow the direction on the map read the conversation to check do the role play in pairs
exercise B in part 1 1. draw Ss's attention to the incomplete conversations and ask them to read and highlight the location and final destination of both of them on the map 2. complete the questions by the help of models they already had. 3. use the map to put the directions in order 4.

( turn to right/left) if you go past the bank, do you go after or before it? do you walk or drive on pedestrian crossing? how many streets meet each other at a junction?
draw Ss's attention to the two conversations on p.56 again ans ask them which of the people (A/B) is asking/ making a request for help and which one offers to help? Ss are supposed to underline the request and offer in the conversation. elicit and board them. ask for the differences between them which is the way to use "can" and "could" ask them to read more examples in the grammar bow on p.57 and let them to come up with the rule themselves.

Ss are given a short time to make a similar conversation between a concierge and a tourist asking for direction using the map.
