Taking public transport
Ask about public transport and identify directions.
Listen, read, and retell
Pass 1: understand the situation. Pass 2: hide meanings and read. Pass 3: retell it in your own words.
Conversation
Should we take the metro or a bus to the new school? I see a station ahead but do not know which exit is closer.
Check the map's directions first. The school is southeast; the two station exits are northeast and southwest.
Can a bus on this street get there too? The driver said the next bus would take ten minutes.
Yes, but the roads are busy. Metro travel times are easier to estimate in traffic. Do not confuse northwest with northeast.
Extension reading
Anan had considered a lift, but parking is prohibited at the school gate and the car park is on another street. She decides to try the metro.
Before entering, they check the direction and ask staff about the exit. Near school they walk beside the road rather than through traffic.
