🧭 Go Straight And Turn Right!

The final task of the unit: getting around town! Today you will give directions (go straight · turn left · turn right · it's on your left), ask for help politely ("Excuse me, can you help me? I'm looking for the library."), ask "Which one?" and check that you understood: "OK. I go straight and then turn right." — "Correct!"

🎬 Let's Imagine...

Lost In The New Neighborhood

Rayan is new in the neighborhood (Lesson 41). His mom asks him to buy bread. He goes into a small shop to ask for help.

RayanExcuse me, can you help me? I'm looking for the bakery.
Mrs. Leila (the shopkeeper)Sure! Which one? There are two bakeries near here.
RayanThe big one, on Olive Street.
🧑‍🏫 Teacher SamiMrs. Leila says: "Go straight, and then turn right. It's on your left." Rayan repeats: "OK. I go straight and then turn right." — "That's right!" Smart Rayan: he asked a shopkeeper, a safe person to ask!

🤔 Can you give directions from your house to your school?

Step 1

🧭 Giving Directions

Click a card to hear it. These are the most important words to find your way.

⚡

The word right has two meanings: a direction ➡️ ("Turn right on Main Street.") and correct ✅ ("That's right!"). Listen carefully!

Step 2

🙋 Asking For Help And Clarifying

Use these expressions to ask someone for help in the street — and to ask which place a person means.

🙋 Asking for help

  • Excuse me, can you help me?
  • Pardon me, can you help me?
  • Answer: Sure. How can I help you?
  • I'm looking for the Star Restaurant.
  • Polite thanks: Thank you very much!

❓ Clarifying with which

  • A: Excuse me, I'm looking for the supermarket.
  • B: Which supermarket are you looking for?
  • A: Um, First Choice Supermarket. — B: Oh, yes! Well, first, you go…
  • Shorter: A: I'm looking for the coffee shop. — B: Which one?
🛡️

Safety first! When you are lost, ask a shopkeeper, a police officer or a family with children — inside a shop or in a busy place. Never get into a car or go somewhere with a stranger. Call your parents if you can!

Step 3

✅ Confirming Directions

Repeat the directions you heard to check that you understood. The other person tells you if you are correct — or not!

✅ You understood

A: We're on Pine Street. Go straight, and then turn right.
B: OK. I go straight and then turn right.
A: Correct. / Yes, that's right.

🔁 You misunderstood

A: Go straight, and then turn right.
B: OK. I go straight and then turn left.
A: No. Go straight and turn right.
B: Oh, OK. I go straight and then turn right. — A: Correct.

🔁 Confirm It!

Mrs. Leila gives you directions. Repeat them correctly to confirm! 6 rounds.
