Step-by-step solution for: English for Kids Step by Step: Asking for and Giving Directions ...
Let’s go step by step through the dialogue to find:
1. Which city objects are mentioned (so we can circle them in the image — though since we’re not describing the image, we’ll just list which ones match).
2. Which direction icon is incorrect based on what Person B says.
---
Step 1: List all city objects mentioned in the dialogue
Person A and B talk about:
- University → mentioned at start and end.
- Cedar Street → where they are now.
- Museum → “big museum on your left” after walking down Cedar Street.
- Birchwood Avenue → intersection after passing the museum.
- Library → “on your right” after turning left onto Birchwood Avenue.
- University campus → final destination, “on your left” after walking 5 more minutes on Birchwood Avenue.
So the city objects mentioned are:
→ University
→ Museum
→ Library
→ (Streets like Cedar Street and Birchwood Avenue are locations, but not “objects” like buildings — so probably not circled as “city objects”)
Looking at the icons below (even though we don’t describe the image), we know from standard worksheet design that:
- The building with a flag = likely school or university? But wait — there’s also a building with an “M” = museum.
- Building with book = library.
- Building with cross = hospital (not mentioned).
- Building with yellow top = maybe police station? Not mentioned.
So the ones to circle would be:
→ Museum (building with “M”)
→ Library (building with open book)
→ University (probably the one with flag? Or maybe the tall blue one? Wait — let’s check the dialogue again.)
Actually, Person B says: “you’ll spot the university campus on your left.” So university is a place you reach at the end.
But in the icons, we have five buildings. Let’s match by description:
From left to right:
1. Blue building with yellow dome/top → ? (not clearly described)
2. Orange building with flag → could be university? Often schools/universities have flags.
3. Tall blue building with red cross → hospital → NOT mentioned.
4. Red roof with “M” → MUSEUM → YES, mentioned.
5. Yellow building with open book → LIBRARY → YES, mentioned.
Wait — but Person A is trying to find the university, and it’s the final destination. So university must be one of the buildings too.
In many worksheets, the university might be represented by the building with the flag (icon #2). That makes sense.
So city objects mentioned:
✔ Museum (icon #4)
✔ Library (icon #5)
✔ University (icon #2 — assuming flag means university/school)
Hospital (icon #3) and the first building (icon #1) are NOT mentioned.
---
Step 2: Follow the directions given and see which arrow/icon is wrong
Dialogue recap of directions:
1. Start on Cedar Street → walk straight → museum on LEFT.
→ So first move: straight ahead, museum on left side.
→ Icon under museum should show: straight arrow + small square on LEFT (to indicate object on left).
Looking at icons under each building:
- Under museum (icon #4): arrow pointing UP (straight) + small red square on RIGHT → ✘ WRONG! Should be on LEFT.
Wait — let’s map each step carefully.
The sequence of movements:
Person B gives these instructions in order:
> Walk straight down Cedar Street until you see the big museum on your left.
→ So first leg: go straight, museum is on left.
Then:
> After you pass the museum, continue walking for a couple more blocks until you reach the intersection with Birchwood Avenue.
→ Still going straight on Cedar Street, past museum, to Birchwood Ave.
Then:
> When you get to Birchwood Avenue, take a left. You’ll see the library on your right.
→ Turn LEFT onto Birchwood Ave. Then library is on your RIGHT.
Then:
> Keep walking on Birchwood Avenue for another five minutes... university campus on your left.
→ Continue straight on Birchwood Ave, university on left.
Now look at the direction icons under each building (left to right):
Assume the buildings are placed in the order you encounter them along the route.
But actually, the icons under the buildings represent the direction you take WHEN you reach that point? Or the direction to get TO that object?
Looking at typical worksheet logic: Each building has an arrow showing the direction you travel when you are at that location, and a small square indicating whether the next landmark is on left/right.
Wait — re-examining the instruction:
“identify the incorrect direction icon in the sequence based on the dialogue.”
And under each building, there’s an arrow and a checkbox for correct/wrong.
Also, there’s a hand-pointing icon at the end — probably representing the final answer or something else.
Let’s assign each building to its position in the journey:
Journey steps:
1. Start → walk straight → reach MUSEUM (on left)
2. Pass museum → keep going straight → reach BIRCHWOOD AVENUE (intersection)
3. At Birchwood Ave → turn LEFT → then see LIBRARY on RIGHT
4. Keep going straight on Birchwood → reach UNIVERSITY on LEFT
So the sequence of landmarks encountered:
- First: Museum (after walking straight from start)
- Second: Birchwood Avenue (still straight, after museum)
- Third: Library (after turning left onto Birchwood, it’s on right)
- Fourth: University (further down Birchwood, on left)
But in the image, there are five buildings. Maybe the first building is the starting point? Or perhaps the streets aren't shown as buildings.
Alternatively, maybe the arrows under the buildings indicate the direction you go AFTER reaching that building.
Let’s try this interpretation:
Under each building, the arrow shows which way you go next, and the red square shows where the NEXT landmark is located relative to your path.
So:
Start → go straight → reach Museum → at Museum, you continue straight (since you haven’t turned yet) → so arrow under Museum should be UP (straight), and since next thing is Birchwood Ave (which is just continuing straight), no side indicator needed? But there is a red square.
Wait — looking back at the dialogue:
After museum, you continue straight to Birchwood Ave — so at museum, you’re still going straight.
Then at Birchwood Ave, you turn left.
Then after turning left, you see library on right — so when you are on Birchwood Ave, library is on your right.
Then you keep going straight to university, which is on your left.
So let’s map the icons under each building (assuming left to right corresponds to order encountered):
Icon 1 (blue building with yellow top): ? — maybe start? Arrow up, no square → if this is start, going straight to museum — ok.
Icon 2 (orange with flag — university?): But university is last. Doesn’t fit.
Perhaps the buildings are not in order? That complicates things.
Alternative approach: Look at the direction icons themselves and compare to what the dialogue says should happen at each stage.
The key is: “identify the incorrect direction icon in the sequence”
And there are five direction icons (arrows) under the five buildings, plus a hand icon.
Let’s list what the dialogue says about directions at each point:
- To reach museum: go straight, museum on left → so when approaching museum, you're going straight, and museum is on left. But the icon under museum should reflect the action taken AT that point.
Actually, rereading the task: “circle the city objects mentioned” — so we circle museum, library, university.
Then “identify the incorrect direction icon in the sequence” — meaning among the arrow icons below, one does not match the dialogue.
Now, let’s look at the arrow icons (from left to right):
1. Up arrow (straight) — no square → could be initial direction.
2. Up arrow with red square on LEFT → this would mean: go straight, and something is on left. Matches "museum on left" — so if this is under museum, it should be correct. But earlier I thought museum was icon #4.
I think I made a mistake in assigning which building is which.
Let me redefine based on common symbols:
Typically in such worksheets:
- Building with "M" = Museum → icon #4
- Building with book = Library → icon #5
- Building with flag = School/University → icon #2
- Building with cross = Hospital → icon #3 (not mentioned)
- First building (blue with yellow) = ? Perhaps city hall or something — not mentioned.
So mentioned objects: #2 (university), #4 (museum), #5 (library)
Now, the direction icons under them:
Under #2 (university): up arrow with red square on LEFT → but according to dialogue, when you reach university, you don't go anywhere else — it's the destination. Also, university is on your left when you are on Birchwood Ave, so the arrow before reaching university should be straight, with university on left.
This is getting messy.
Let’s instead follow the exact sequence of actions as per dialogue and see which arrow doesn't match.
Dialogue directions in order:
1. From start: walk straight → museum on left.
→ So first movement: straight. Landmark (museum) on left.
→ Icon should be: straight arrow, with indicator on left.
2. After museum: continue straight to Birchwood Ave.
→ Still straight. No new landmark on side mentioned here — just reaching intersection.
3. At Birchwood Ave: turn left.
→ So now, change direction to left.
4. After turning left: library on right.
→ So while going on Birchwood Ave (after left turn), library is on right.
→ Icon should be: straight arrow (since you're now on Birchwood going straight), with indicator on right.
5. Continue straight on Birchwood: university on left.
→ Straight arrow, indicator on left.
Now, look at the five arrow icons (ignoring the hand for now):
Assume they correspond to the five segments or points.
But there are only four directional changes mentioned.
Perhaps the icons under the buildings represent the direction to take when you are at that building.
For example:
- When you are at the museum, what do you do next? Continue straight → so arrow up.
And since the next thing (Birchwood) is just ahead, no side indicator? But there is a red square in some.
Let's look at the actual icons as described in the user's image (even though we can't see it, from standard problems):
Usually, in such worksheets, the red square indicates the side where the next mentioned object is located.
So for the museum: you are going straight, and the museum is on your left — but the museum is the object you're arriving at, so perhaps the icon under museum shows the direction you came from or something.
I recall that in many similar problems, the error is often in the turn direction.
Let's focus on the turn:
Person B says: "When you get to Birchwood Avenue, take a left."
So at the intersection of Cedar St and Birchwood Ave, you turn left.
Now, is there an icon that shows a right turn? Because that would be wrong.
Looking at the icons:
One of them is a right-turn arrow (L-shaped arrow pointing right).
If that icon is supposed to represent the turn at Birchwood Ave, then it should be a LEFT turn, not right.
So if there's a right-turn arrow in the sequence, and the dialogue says turn left, then that icon is incorrect.
In the list of icons, the third one is described as "L-shaped arrow pointing right" — that would be a right turn.
But according to dialogue, at Birchwood Ave, you turn LEFT.
So if that right-turn arrow is meant to represent the turn at Birchwood Ave, then it's wrong.
Moreover, after turning left, you see the library on your right — which makes sense if you turned left onto Birchwood, then library is on the right side of the street you're now on.
Then you continue straight to university on left.
So the incorrect icon is the right-turn arrow, because you should turn left, not right.
Additionally, for the museum: when you are walking to the museum, it's on your left, so the icon before museum should have a left indicator.
But let's confirm with the sequence.
Perhaps the icons are in order of the buildings as you encounter them.
Suppose the buildings are arranged in the order you meet them:
1. First, you see the museum (after walking straight) — so icon under museum should be: straight arrow, and since museum is on left, but you're arriving at it, perhaps the indicator is for the next thing.
I think the safest bet is that the right-turn arrow is incorrect because the dialogue says to turn left at Birchwood Ave.
Also, in the dialogue, Person A confirms: "left at Birchwood Avenue" — so definitely left turn.
Therefore, any icon showing a right turn is wrong.
Now, about the city objects to circle: museum, library, university.
In the icons, those are likely:
- Museum: building with "M"
- Library: building with book
- University: building with flag (common symbol)
So circle those three.
And the incorrect direction icon is the right-turn arrow (third one from left).
Also, the hand icon at the end — probably not part of the sequence, or represents the final answer.
But the task is to identify the incorrect direction icon in the sequence — so among the arrows, the right-turn one is wrong.
To double-check:
Sequence of moves:
- Go straight (to museum) — arrow up
- Go straight (past museum to Birchwood) — arrow up
- Turn left at Birchwood — should be left-turn arrow, but if it's right-turn, wrong
- Go straight (with library on right) — arrow up with square on right
- Go straight (with university on left) — arrow up with square on left
In the given icons, if the third icon is a right-turn arrow, and it's supposed to be the turn at Birchwood, then it's incorrect.
Yes.
Final decision:
City objects mentioned: museum, library, university → circle their corresponding buildings.
Incorrect direction icon: the right-turn arrow (which is the third arrow from left).
So for the answer, since the question asks to identify the incorrect direction icon, and in the context, it's likely the third one.
But to be precise, let's state it clearly.
Final Answer:
The city objects mentioned in the dialogue are the museum, the library, and the university. Circle the buildings that represent these (typically the one with "M" for museum, the one with a book for library, and the one with a flag for university).
The incorrect direction icon is the right-turn arrow (the third arrow from the left), because the dialogue says to turn left at Birchwood Avenue, not right.
1. Which city objects are mentioned (so we can circle them in the image — though since we’re not describing the image, we’ll just list which ones match).
2. Which direction icon is incorrect based on what Person B says.

Step 1: List all city objects mentioned in the dialogue
Person A and B talk about:
- University → mentioned at start and end.
- Cedar Street → where they are now.
- Museum → “big museum on your left” after walking down Cedar Street.
- Birchwood Avenue → intersection after passing the museum.
- Library → “on your right” after turning left onto Birchwood Avenue.
- University campus → final destination, “on your left” after walking 5 more minutes on Birchwood Avenue.
So the city objects mentioned are:
→ University
→ Museum
→ Library
→ (Streets like Cedar Street and Birchwood Avenue are locations, but not “objects” like buildings — so probably not circled as “city objects”)
Looking at the icons below (even though we don’t describe the image), we know from standard worksheet design that:
- The building with a flag = likely school or university? But wait — there’s also a building with an “M” = museum.
- Building with book = library.
- Building with cross = hospital (not mentioned).
- Building with yellow top = maybe police station? Not mentioned.
So the ones to circle would be:
→ Museum (building with “M”)
→ Library (building with open book)
→ University (probably the one with flag? Or maybe the tall blue one? Wait — let’s check the dialogue again.)

Wait — but Person A is trying to find the university, and it’s the final destination. So university must be one of the buildings too.
In many worksheets, the university might be represented by the building with the flag (icon #2). That makes sense.
So city objects mentioned:
✔ Museum (icon #4)
✔ Library (icon #5)
✔ University (icon #2 — assuming flag means university/school)
Hospital (icon #3) and the first building (icon #1) are NOT mentioned.

Step 2: Follow the directions given and see which arrow/icon is wrong
Dialogue recap of directions:
1. Start on Cedar Street → walk straight → museum on LEFT.
→ So first move: straight ahead, museum on left side.
→ Icon under museum should show: straight arrow + small square on LEFT (to indicate object on left).
Looking at icons under each building:
- Under museum (icon #4): arrow pointing UP (straight) + small red square on RIGHT → ✘ WRONG! Should be on LEFT.
Wait — let’s map each step carefully.
The sequence of movements:
Person B gives these instructions in order:

→ Turn LEFT onto Birchwood Ave. Then library is on your RIGHT.
Then:
> Keep walking on Birchwood Avenue for another five minutes... university campus on your left.
→ Continue straight on Birchwood Ave, university on left.
Now look at the direction icons under each building (left to right):

So the sequence of landmarks encountered:
- First: Museum (after walking straight from start)
- Second: Birchwood Avenue (still straight, after museum)
- Third: Library (after turning left onto Birchwood, it’s on right)
- Fourth: University (further down Birchwood, on left)
But in the image, there are five buildings. Maybe the first building is the starting point? Or perhaps the streets aren't shown as buildings.

Then you keep going straight to university, which is on your left.
So let’s map the icons under each building (assuming left to right corresponds to order encountered):
Icon 1 (blue building with yellow top): ? — maybe start? Arrow up, no square → if this is start, going straight to museum — ok.
Icon 2 (orange with flag — university?): But university is last. Doesn’t fit.
Perhaps the buildings are not in order? That complicates things.
Alternative approach: Look at the direction icons themselves and compare to what the dialogue says should happen at each stage.

- Building with book = Library → icon #5
- Building with flag = School/University → icon #2
- Building with cross = Hospital → icon #3 (not mentioned)
- First building (blue with yellow) = ? Perhaps city hall or something — not mentioned.
So mentioned objects: #2 (university), #4 (museum), #5 (library)
Now, the direction icons under them:
Under #2 (university): up arrow with red square on LEFT → but according to dialogue, when you reach university, you don't go anywhere else — it's the destination. Also, university is on your left when you are on Birchwood Ave, so the arrow before reaching university should be straight, with university on left.
This is getting messy.
Let’s instead follow the exact sequence of actions as per dialogue and see which arrow doesn't match.
Dialogue directions in order:

So for the museum: you are going straight, and the museum is on your left — but the museum is the object you're arriving at, so perhaps the icon under museum shows the direction you came from or something.
I recall that in many similar problems, the error is often in the turn direction.
Let's focus on the turn:
Person B says: "When you get to Birchwood Avenue, take a left."
So at the intersection of Cedar St and Birchwood Ave, you turn left.
Now, is there an icon that shows a right turn? Because that would be wrong.
Looking at the icons:
One of them is a right-turn arrow (L-shaped arrow pointing right).
If that icon is supposed to represent the turn at Birchwood Ave, then it should be a LEFT turn, not right.
So if there's a right-turn arrow in the sequence, and the dialogue says turn left, then that icon is incorrect.
In the list of icons, the third one is described as "L-shaped arrow pointing right" — that would be a right turn.
But according to dialogue, at Birchwood Ave, you turn LEFT.
So if that right-turn arrow is meant to represent the turn at Birchwood Ave, then it's wrong.
Moreover, after turning left, you see the library on your right — which makes sense if you turned left onto Birchwood, then library is on the right side of the street you're now on.
Then you continue straight to university on left.
So the incorrect icon is the right-turn arrow, because you should turn left, not right.
Additionally, for the museum: when you are walking to the museum, it's on your left, so the icon before museum should have a left indicator.
But let's confirm with the sequence.

Also, in the dialogue, Person A confirms: "left at Birchwood Avenue" — so definitely left turn.
Therefore, any icon showing a right turn is wrong.
Now, about the city objects to circle: museum, library, university.
In the icons, those are likely:
- Museum: building with "M"
- Library: building with book
- University: building with flag (common symbol)
So circle those three.
And the incorrect direction icon is the right-turn arrow (third one from left).
Also, the hand icon at the end — probably not part of the sequence, or represents the final answer.
But the task is to identify the incorrect direction icon in the sequence — so among the arrows, the right-turn one is wrong.
To double-check:
Sequence of moves:
- Go straight (to museum) — arrow up
- Go straight (past museum to Birchwood) — arrow up
- Turn left at Birchwood — should be left-turn arrow, but if it's right-turn, wrong
- Go straight (with library on right) — arrow up with square on right
- Go straight (with university on left) — arrow up with square on left
In the given icons, if the third icon is a right-turn arrow, and it's supposed to be the turn at Birchwood, then it's incorrect.
Yes.
Final decision:
City objects mentioned: museum, library, university → circle their corresponding buildings.
Incorrect direction icon: the right-turn arrow (which is the third arrow from left).
So for the answer, since the question asks to identify the incorrect direction icon, and in the context, it's likely the third one.
But to be precise, let's state it clearly.
Final Answer:
The city objects mentioned in the dialogue are the museum, the library, and the university. Circle the buildings that represent these (typically the one with "M" for museum, the one with a book for library, and the one with a flag for university).
The incorrect direction icon is the right-turn arrow (the third arrow from the left), because the dialogue says to turn left at Birchwood Avenue, not right.
