$SELECT Comparing Things
ID: l5-s1
INTRO: In this lesson you'll review everything from this book: comparing things, taking phone messages, renting apartments, giving directions, doing math, and telling time. First, comparisons — for each sentence, tap the word that fits. No new words here, only old friends.
# Source: ST §Who? . . . What? . . . Where? . . . When? (recast: the question is asked, the learner answers from the cue)
$PRODUCE What Are They Going to Do?
ID: l5-s2
INTRO: Everyone in this book has plans. You'll hear a question about what someone is "going to" do, and see a short cue on screen. Answer aloud in a full sentence with "going to".
INSTRUCTION: Answer the question aloud using "going to" and the cue.
INPUT: speak
CHECK: llm
RUBRIC: The "going to" form is the point — accept any full-sentence answer that uses "going to" and matches the cue content; an answer without "going to" fails. Any natural phrasing is fine.
# Source: ST §Study the Pictures (INPUT changed type → speak)
$PRODUCE Study the Pictures
ID: l5-s3
INTRO: Time to look at some pictures — gyms, pay phones, and people exercising harder than we are. Answer each question aloud in a complete sentence; the picture has everything you need.
INSTRUCTION: Look at the picture and answer aloud in a complete sentence.
RUBRIC: Treat the model answer as the factual key; accept any complete sentence expressing the same fact(s), in any phrasing. Do not demand details the question didn't ask for (e.g. "from a pay phone" is optional); for the glass item, any answer mentioning ice, water, or a cold drink is correct.
PROMPT: What is the woman asking for? {st-page_167_001.jpg|A woman holding a map asking a police officer for directions; speech bubble says "HOW DO I GET TO MAIN STREET FROM HERE?" and police officer says "GO STRAIGHT..."}
$PRODUCE Renting an Apartment {st-page_169_001.jpg|Two men talking on telephones: one is taking notes while the other reads from newspaper real estate listings for apartments for rent}
ID: l5-s4
INTRO: In this part you'll review apartments, directions, math, and clocks. First: Ms. Black is calling about a two-bedroom apartment, and the manager is very ready to rent one. Type the missing word in each line of their phone call.
INSTRUCTION: Type the missing word to complete the apartment rental conversation.
$PRODUCE How Do I Get There? {st-page_171_001.jpg|City street map grid showing numbered locations from 1 to 16, street names such as West Ave, Front St, Texas Ave, Colorado St, Houston Ave, California St, Pacific Ave, State St, and a compass rose indicating North, South, East, West}
ID: l5-s5
INTRO: You'll see a street map with numbered places on it. Read each situation and give directions aloud, using streets, blocks, and turns — the person asking is completely lost without you.
INSTRUCTION: Look at the map and give clear directions aloud.
RUBRIC: Treat the model answer as one good route, not the only one; accept any coherent set of directions that uses direction-giving language (go, turn, block, corner, street names) to reach the named destination. Do not fail an answer for choosing a different plausible route. For the cafe item, directions to either Nan's Cafe (2) or the Black Cat Cafe (9) are correct.
PROMPT: You are at the school (7). Give a friend directions to the public library (14).
RESPONSE: Go west on Front Street for two blocks to Houston Avenue. Turn left and go south for one block. The library is on the corner of Houston and Colorado.
PROMPT: You are in the Anthony Hotel (1). Give someone directions to the Blue Moon Restaurant (4).
RESPONSE: Go south on West Avenue to Texas Avenue. Turn left and go east for two blocks. The Blue Moon Restaurant is on the corner of Texas and Houston.
INTRO: In this last part you'll put it all together: what makes sense, passing on messages, and turning comparisons around. Read each sentence and tap the answer that makes sense — some of these are sneaky.
INSTRUCTION: Tap the answer that best fits or follows the sentence.
