Question Focus: Location description on the map - following directions along Oxford Street
Why this is correct: The answer is Whitfield family house because the speaker clearly says you see it on the corner with Oxford Street. On the map, the building at that corner is labelled with letter I, so that is the correct match.
Passage Reference: Go straight on, and just on the corner with Oxford Street, you'll see a two-story house. This is the Whitfield family house, and this is where Manjiro first stayed when he came to Fairhaven.
Common Mistake: Some students choose Old Oxford School because they hear the word Oxford and panic. This is a paraphrase trap - Oxford Street is not the same as Oxford School.
Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'on the corner with Oxford Street' = Diagram: 'building at Oxford Street corner'
Tips: On map questions, listen carefully for exact location phrases like on the corner, halfway down, or at the end.
Key Vocabulary:
- corner = where two roads meet
- private residence = someone lives there
Question Focus: Identifying a building halfway down a street
Passage Reference: you'll come to North Street, and about halfway down there is what's known as Old Oxford School. This was the very same school that Manjiro attended when he lived here.
Why this is correct: The answer is Old Oxford School because the speaker says it is about halfway down North Street. On the diagram, the building halfway along North Street is labelled B.
Common Mistake: Students sometimes choose Whitfield family house because both places are linked to Manjiro. This is a context shift trap - the speaker has already moved to a new street and a new building.
Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'about halfway down North Street' = Diagram: 'middle of North Street'
Tips: When the speaker changes street names, move your eyes on the map immediately to that street.
Key Vocabulary:
- halfway = in the middle
- attended = went to as a student
Question Focus: Following a route with bends back towards the library
Passage Reference: If you follow the road down, back towards the library, you go around a couple of sharp bends, and on the second of these, you can see the School of Navigation, which Manjiro also attended.
Why this is correct: The answer is School of Navigation because the speaker explains it appears on the second sharp bend as you walk back towards the library. On the map, that position matches letter E.
Common Mistake: Some students pick Old Oxford School again because they hear the word school. This is a distractor trap - the speaker clearly says a different school name and a different location.
Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'on the second of these' = Diagram: 'second bend on the road'
Tips: For routes, count carefully when you hear words like first, second, or next.
Key Vocabulary:
- bend = curve in the road
- navigation = finding direction
General Tips:
- Map and diagram questions follow the order of the route - keep your place and move step by step.
- Listen for street names and turn directions before choosing a label.
- Look ahead at the map during pauses so you know where the speaker might go next.
- Words like corner, halfway, and bend are strong signals for the exact answer location.
