Topic: Asking for a simple direction in a building
Lesson overview:
In this lesson, you will practice asking where a place is and giving a short direction answer. This is useful in a school, hotel, mall, or office building. You will use very short, clear English. The focus is on speaking and writing simple questions, replies, and short messages.
Review from previous lessons:
- We already practiced simple arrangements and short replies.
- We also practiced asking for items and simple location words.
- Today we continue with a new practical situation: asking for a place inside a building.
5 useful words:

2. office = workplace room
3. next = beside / after
4. lift = elevator
5. floor = level in a building
