First stage of secondary schoolAges 12 to 13Draft: Not yet checked by an English teacher.

Why

You are on a school trip in Canterbury and you have lost your group. How do you ask the way to the cathedral, and do you understand the answer?

When you travel, you sometimes have to ask the way. Then you need two things: a polite question, and ears that understand the answer quickly. Most people explain it once, and fast.

The good news: it is always the same phrases. Turn left, go straight on, it's opposite the church. If you know them, you can find your way anywhere.
