Question leading
Beijing Olympic Forest Park was built in 2008 to provide a place for athletes and coaches to relax during the Games. Located within easy walking distance north of the Bird’s Nest Stadium, it was given to the city after the games, and it is now the largest of Beijing’s city parks. The park is divided into two parts: the South Park and the North Park.
Discuss and search for some information about the Beijing Olympic Forest Park.

Pre-listening
Task 1 Linlin and Yuhui are taking Jake to Beijing Olympic Forest Park. Listen to their conversation. Tick which activities they are going to do below.
While-listening
A
B
C
Draw the route that Jake, Linlin, and Yuhui will take.
Mark the places they will visit on the map.
Task 2 Look at the map. Listen to the conversation again and finish the activities below.
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.
Draw the route that Jake, Linlin, and Yuhui will take.
Draw the route
Yuhui: Let me check the map on my phone ... From here, we should go north…
Draw the route
… and then turn left and follow the main road until we reach the second path on the right.
Draw the route
Then we turn right on the path and follow it for about three hundred metres until we come to an intersection with a washroom.
Draw the route
Then we should turn left on another path. After about 150 metres, we’ll be at the underwater wetland corridor.
2. Mark the places they will visit on the map below.
Yuhui: Now that we're at the park, where would you like to go first, Jake
Jake: I don't know. What interesting things can we see and do here
Yuhui: Well, Flower Land, fountain performances, children's rides...Oh! This is interesting--here's an underwater corridor!
Jake: That does sound interesting. How do we get there
Yuhui: Let me check the map on my phone...From here, we should go north, and then turn left and follow the main road until we reach the second path on the right. Then we turn right on the path and follow it for about three hundred metres until we come to an intersection with a washroom.
Listening text
Then we should turn left on another path. After about 150 metres, we'll be at the underwater wetland corridor.
Linlin: Oh, that sounds a bit far!
Jake: Well, maybe we can rent bikes to get there.
Yuhui: No, we can't. There are four-wheel cycles, but they are only allowed on certain fixed routes. Let me check the map again... Oh, we're actually very near the cycle rental place now. We could go there first, if you like.
Linlin: Yes, OK, it would be fun! Hopefully we can get close to the underwater wetland corridor, and I'd also like to take a pedal boat on Wali Lake afterwards.
Jake: Sounds like we've got a lot of things to do.
Yuhui: Yes, so we'd better get started.
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.
Post-listening
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.
Sample dialogue
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.
