Welcome to Lesson 9 of A1 Listening Skills!
In this lesson, you will practice how to understand spoken directions inside a school building. You will listen to a short conversation between a student and a teacher about how to find a classroom. This will help you recognize direction phrases like go down the hall, turn left, and go upstairs, as well as learn how to follow step-by-step instructions in English.
What You Will Learn
By the end of this lesson, you will be able to:
- Understand common phrases used to give directions inside a building.
-
Follow spoken instructions that include landmarks such as the office, the library, or the art room.
-
Recognize location expressions such as next to, across from, and on your right/left.
-
Identify and ignore distracting or unnecessary information while following directions.
Before Listening
-
Review vocabulary about school rooms and locations, such as library, stairs, and classroom.
-
Try to visualize the school layout as you listen — imagine walking through the hallway and turning at the right places.
-
You may listen to the recording twice before completing the tasks.
-
Focus carefully on prepositions and direction words — they will help you understand where each place is.
Good luck and enjoy your learning! Follow the directions carefully and imagine yourself walking through the school as you listen.
