Label the map. Choose your answers from the box below.

You will hear a conversation between two people in which one person gives directions to a place in town. Now listen carefully and answer the questions. So if I want to have a look at the bikes, how do I find you? I live near the University, by the way. Right. First you take Woods Road as far as the main police station. I know it. It's right next to the park. Yes, that's it. And after the police station, there's a turning to the right called Oak Street. At the big supermarket. No, it's before then. It's actually between the police station and a garage on the other side. OK. So you go down Oak Street until you reach the health centre on the right. If you get to a pub called the Maple Leaf, you've gone too far. All right. Yes, I've got that. Now, opposite the health centre, there's a pharmacy, and we're just behind that. OK, fine. I'll try to call over sometime tomorrow. Great. See you then. Bye.

Question Focus: The diagram shows a place on Oak Street between two landmarks. We need to identify which building is on the other side of Oak Street.

Correct Answer: E

Why this is correct: The diagram position is described as being between the police station and something else. The speaker clearly says it is between the police station and a garage, so this label must be garage.

Passage Reference: It's actually between the police station and a garage on the other side. OK.

Common Mistake: Some students choose supermarket because it is mentioned nearby. But the speaker says Oak Street is before the supermarket, not next to it. This is a distractor trap.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'between the police station and a garage' = Diagram: 'location beside Oak Street'

Tips: Listen carefully for words like between, before, and after. They tell you exact map positions.

Key Vocabulary:

  • garage = place to repair cars
  • between = in the middle of two places

Question Focus: The diagram shows a building on the right side of Oak Street. We need to label what that building is.

Correct Answer: A

Passage Reference: So you go down Oak Street until you reach the health centre on the right.

Why this is correct: The speaker explains that when you go down Oak Street, you reach the health centre on the right. This matches exactly with the diagram position, so the answer is health centre.

Common Mistake: Some students choose Maple Leaf pub because it is also mentioned. But the speaker says if you reach the pub, you have gone too far. This is a sequence trap.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'reach the health centre on the right' = Diagram: 'building on right side of Oak Street'

Tips: When labeling maps, always match left or right directions with the diagram.

Key Vocabulary:

  • reach = arrive at
  • on the right = right-hand side

Question Focus: The diagram shows the final destination, located behind another building. We need to identify this place.

Correct Answer: C

Passage Reference: Now, opposite the health centre, there's a pharmacy, and we're just behind that. OK, fine.

Why this is correct: The speaker says there is a pharmacy opposite the health centre, and they are just behind that. The place being described is the bike shop, which is Clarks Cycle Hire.

Common Mistake: Some students choose Maple Leaf pub because it sounds like a clear landmark. But the pub only shows you have gone too far. This is a context shift trap.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'we're just behind that' = Diagram: 'final destination behind another building'

Tips: For the final label, listen for phrases like we are, our place, or behind that.

Key Vocabulary:

  • opposite = across from
  • behind = at the back of

General Tips:

  • Map and diagram questions follow the order of the recording, so label from top to bottom as you listen.
  • Pay close attention to direction words like right, left, before, and between.
  • Do not choose a place just because you hear its name. Check its position carefully.
  • When the speaker says you have gone too far, that place is usually a trap.
  • Use pauses in the audio to look ahead at the next diagram label.
