S2: l had some difficulty in finding the classroom. There are three large classroom buildings. I don't know which one is ours. I had to ask someone for help.
T: Ok, today we will discuss the question about how to find the way in the school. First let’s enjoy some pictures and guess where they are.
T: Just now you told me that you had difficulty in finding the way to Beijing Road Senior High School. So did Wei Hua. She also had some difficulty in finding the way on the first day in the UK school. Now let’s look at the picture of her school. Please tell me the Chinese meaning of these school facilities.

Encourage the students to think of the pattern drills they learned in junior high. If necessary, help students review the expressions of asking and answering the way.

S1: Excuse me, which is the quickest way to...?
S2: Excuse me, could you tell me the way to...?
