Task 1: Read the letter and look at the map.
Find Ann’s house on the map.
Dear Jim,
I’m very pleased to hear that you have decided to come here for the
holiday. I’m writing to tell you how to get to my house from Roston
Railway Station.
Now, when you come out of the station, turn right. Keep walking for
about 5 minutes, you will see a small bridge ahead. Go over the bridge,
walk past a medical centre, then take the first turning on the left. Keep
on until you come to the end of the road, turn right. Walk past a small
shop. Mine is the second after the shop, opposite the bookshop. It is the
one with the green gate. You can not miss it. I have enclosed a map so
that you can follow my directions easily.
Looking forward to seeing you soon.
Love,
Ann
