While-listening
Learning to learn:
When you visit a place for the first time, a map is a great help for you to know the place better. An online map on your mobile phone is convenient. But if you don’t have net connection when you travel, a paper map is still an option. You would be able to find one in your hotel or at the local tourist information centre. When someone is giving you directions, try to mark your destinations and draw the routes to them on the map.
Before listening, you should look at the pictures carefully to judge where the places are and mark the places mentioned in the questions;
Judge what may happen between the people in the conversations from the pictures;
Read the map to get to know the information of different places.
Task 2: : Listen again and complete the map and the information for the tourist.
