Giving directions - ESL worksheet by GELIANE LEAL - Free Printable

Let's solve the task step by step based on the image you provided. The worksheet is titled "Directions Language" and has three sections: A, B, and C.

---

A. Match the direction phrases to the signs.

We are given 6 road signs and 6 direction phrases. We need to match each sign with the correct phrase.

#### Signs:
1. Left arrow → Turn left
2. Traffic light → At the traffic lights
3. Pedestrian crossing → Cross the street
4. Right arrow → Turn right
5. Straight arrow → Go straight
6. Crossroads (X) → At the junction

#### Matching:
| Sign | Phrase |
|------|--------|
| 1. Left arrow | turn left |
| 2. Traffic light | at the traffic lights |
| 3. Pedestrian crossing | cross the street |
| 4. Right arrow | turn right |
| 5. Straight arrow | go straight |
| 6. Crossroads (X) | at the junction |

✔ So, the answers for Section A are:

1. turn left
2. at the traffic lights
3. cross the street
4. turn right
5. go straight
6. at the junction

B. Match the sentence halves together to make directions.

We have two columns: sentence beginnings and endings. Let’s pair them logically.

#### Sentence halves:
- a. Stop at _______
- b. Turn _______
- c. Cross _______
- d. The park is just past the _______
- e. At the junction, go _______
- f. Don’t turn right, turn _______

And the options:
- a. the street to get to the school.
- b. right.
- c. straight.
- d. left.
- e. the traffic lights.
- f. library. It’s not far.

Wait — there seems to be a mix-up in labeling. Let's clarify:

Actually, the second column is labeled with letters a–f, but they are separate from the first column.

So let’s re-label clearly:

Column 1 (start):
1. Stop at _______
2. Turn _______
3. Cross _______
4. The park is just past the _______
5. At the junction, go _______
6. Don’t turn right, turn _______

Column 2 (endings):
a. the street to get to the school.
b. right.
c. straight.
d. left.
e. the traffic lights.
f. library. It’s not far.

Now match them logically:

1. Stop at → the traffic lights → e
2. Turn → right → b
3. Cross → the street to get to the school → a
4. The park is just past the → library. It’s not far → f
5. At the junction, go → straight → c
6. Don’t turn right, turn → left → d

✔ So the matches are:
1. e
2. b
3. a
4. f
5. c
6. d

C. Complete the directions using the vocabulary from Exercise A.

We’re given a scenario:
> To get to the pet shop, start at the station and (1) _________ straight for 500 meters.
> (2) __________ the street at the junction. At the next (3) __________ lights,
> (4) __________ right. Continue on this street for one kilometer. At the (5) __________
> (6) __________ left. The pet shop is on the right.

We must use words from Exercise A:
- go straight
- at the junction
- turn right
- cross the street
- at the traffic lights
- turn left

Let’s fill in:

(1) Go straight → "Start at the station and go straight for 500 meters." ✔
(2) Cross → "Cross the street at the junction." ✔
(3) traffic → "At the next traffic lights," ✔
(4) Turn → "Turn right." ✔
(5) junction → "At the junction" ✔
(6) Turn → "Turn left." ✔

So full sentence:

> To get to the pet shop, start at the station and (1) go straight for 500 meters.
> (2) Cross the street at the junction. At the next (3) traffic lights,
> (4) turn right. Continue on this street for one kilometer. At the (5) junction,
> (6) turn left. The pet shop is on the right.

✔ Final answers for Section C:
1. go straight
2. Cross
3. traffic
4. turn
5. junction
6. turn
