Example

One of the agenda in Campus English Tour for the students of SMA 1 is practicing
English dealing with the language function used in giving direction. As the students
explore the campus, they will use English to label the maps provided and to
mention some important sites. Thus, the material related to this language function
needs to be given first.
The Material Related to the Language Function in Giving
Direction

Woman : The post office? Let’s see now. Oh, yes. You go straight down this street to
the corner. Turn left and go one block until you come to the tennis court. Go straight
ahead and turn right. It’s on the right side of the street just past the grocery store.
Larry : I see. Straight to the corner. Left and then right.
Woman : That’s it.
Larry : Thanks a lot.
Woman : You’re very welcome.
