adjectives: These add colour and life to the passage, and make the descriptions more interesting and inviting.
if-clauses: These help the reader make the decision to do as you suggest. For example, when you say, “If you want to have fun and more than fun....” the reader will probably say to himself, “Well, of course I want to have fun and more than fun.”
imperatives: These are used for strong suggestions or the “hardsell”. People tend to do as they are instructed,so the use of imperatives can be an effective way to motivate them to do something,especially if done in a friendly way.

1. Draw the route that Jake, Linlin, and Yuhui will take.
2. Mark the places they will visit on the map.
Listen for directions
Listening for directions can be difficult, as often a lot of information is given in a short time. You could listen for sequence words and direction words. You can also try to form a mental map of where you are going while the other person is talking.
direction words:
go north, turn left and follow the main road until we reach the second path on the right, turn right on the path and follow it for about three hundred metres until we come to an intersection with a washroom, turn left on another path
sequence words: then
Can you tell us the direction words or sequence words you catch from the listening
目标二：To make a dialogue asking for and giving direction and place information
Activity 1: Work in pairs. Role-play visiting the park. Take turns giving directions to different places in the park. Use the words and phrases below to help you.
Asking for and giving directions
Excuse/Pardon me. Do you happen to know where ... is
How do I get to ... How far is ...
Is ... nearby Is ... close to ...
Is ... far from ...
It’s on the north/south /east/west side of the park.
It's about... metres north of ...
Go through ...
Walk/Go along the river/path ...
Follow the (main) path to ...
When you see the..., you are close to...
It's... metres from here.
Go straight ahead (until you come to...).
Sample dialogue:
A: Excuse me.
B: Yes, how can I help you
A: I hear that this park has a very nice flower meadow. I was wondering if you could tell me how to find it
B: Oh, you mean Flower Land It's in the northwest corner of the North Park.
A: It sounds pretty far away from here.
B: Yes, it is. It's about two-and-a-half kilometres from here on foot. But it's a lovely walk if you have the time.
A: But it's getting late. I was really hoping to see it while the sun was still shining.
B: True. Here's what you can do. You can take the underground. The Forest Park South Gate underground station is right over there. Go north one stop to the Lincuiqiao underground station. Walk north about eight hundred metres, and you'll see the park entrance on your right. Enter the park and walk about another four hundred metres. You'll see a path leading to Flower Land on your right. It's just a short distance away from there.
A: It's still seems like quite a trip. Is it really worth it
B: Oh, yes. The sunflowers are in full bloom right now.
A: Well, I'll have to think about it. By the way, what is this wetland underwater corridor that everyone is talking about.
B: Oh, it's really neat. The South Park has his huge wetland area in the northwest corner. And there's a path that goes through the water. It has glass on both sides so that you don't get wet. You walk down into the water, and get a chance to see the plants and animals through the glass walls.
A: Is it far
B: A little. It's about a kilometre away. Go north from here, and then take the first left. Continue until the road comes to a T, and then turn right. Follow that path north for about three hundred metres until you come to an intersection. Turn right. After about 150 metres, you'll be at the south end of the wetland. There is a path there which goes north. Take it and it will lead you to the underwater corridor. You can't miss it.
A: Thank you so much.
B: You're welcome.
