IELTSTutors Tips
- What place names are given on the map?
- What do you have to listen for? (for example, buildings on the street or rooms in a building)
- How are the different places connected? (for example, roads, paths or corridors)
People who have a good understanding of prepositions of place and vocabulary connected to location (we will have a lesson for this soon) will do well at this type of activity.

Where can the following buildings be found? Write the appropriate letter.
J – Jim C: I’d like to come and have a look at the motorbike before I rent it. I live close to the central hospital. How can I find you?
J: Right, to start with, take Spencer Lane all the way to the end. Then you’ll reach a t-junction with a butchers on your left, it’s opposite the Queens Head pub.
C: Ok. I know where you mean.
J: Good, well turn right onto the main road, it’s called Wilmslow road.
C: Sorry, was that a right.
J: Yes, that’s correct, turn right. Then, go down Wilmslow road and you’ll see a big car showroom on your right. It’s across from a small football field.
C: Are you sure, I thought there was a supermarket opposite the football field.
J: No no, that closed a few years ago. It reopened as a car showroom a few months back. Anyway. Take the left turn there.
C: At the football field?
J: Correct.
C: What road is that?
J: I believe it’s Hill Road.
C: Ok, got it. I’m just noting down the directions.
J: Ok, well go up Hill road and across from the garden center you’ll see a car park. Do a left into the car park and at the back you’ll see the office. It’s right behind the kindergarten. You can’t miss us because the car park is full of motorbikes.
C: Great, I’ll pop round tomorrow about 1 o’clock.
Jim says ‘You’ll reach a t-junction with a butchers on your left, it’s opposite the queens head pub.‘
Car Showroom | B
Jim tells us ‘go down Wilmslow road and you’ll see a big car showroom on your right. It’s across from a small football field.’
Be careful here because the Customer makes an error that Jim has to correct:
‘Are you sure, I thought there was a supermarket opposite the football field.’
‘No no, that closed a few years ago. It reopened as a car showroom a few months ago.’
Jim’s Motorbike Rental | C
Jim’s directions are ‘go up Hill road and across from the garden center you’ll see a car park. Do a left into the car park and at the back you’ll see the office. It’s right behind the kindergarten… You can’t miss us because the car park is full of motorbikes.
