Welcome to the Town! 🏙️

Hello! Today we are going to learn about the places in a town and how to say where they are. This is very useful because you can use it to give directions or tell someone where you live.

Look at this map. What places can you see?

• Hospital 🏥
• Cinema 🎬
• Supermarket 🛒
• School 🏫
• Library 📚
• Sport center ⚽
• Car park 🚗
• Hotel 🏨
• Bus station 🚌

Idea fuerza: A town is a place where people live, work, and have fun. Learning the names of these places helps you understand your own city!

What are Prepositions of Place? 📍

Prepositions of place are small words that tell us where something is. In Spanish, they are words like "en", "sobre", "debajo", "entre".

In English, we have some very important ones:

• In front of: en frente de
• Next to: al lado de
• Between: entre
• Behind: detrás de

We use them to describe the position of one place compared to another. For example:

• The cinema is next to the supermarket.
• The park is in front of the school.
• The library is between the bank and the hospital.
• The car park is behind the hotel.

Idea fuerza: These words are like a map for your words. They help you create a picture in the other person's mind.

Let's Practice! 🗺️

Look at the town map in your book (page 37). Now, let's answer some questions. Use the prepositions we just learned.

Question: Where is the swimming pool? Answer: It's in front of the park.

Question: Where is the bank? Answer: It's between the supermarket and the cinema.

Question: Where is the sports centre? Answer: It's next to the swimming pool.

Question: Where is the bus station? Answer: It's behind the cinema.

Now, you try! Look at the picture and answer:

• Where is the hotel?
• Where is the hospital?
• Where is the market?

Idea fuerza: Practice makes perfect. Try to describe your own neighbourhood using these words.

Must and Mustn't: Rules and Obligations 🚦

We use must and mustn't to talk about rules and things that are necessary.

• Must = You have to do it. It's an obligation.
  • Example: I must do my homework.
  • Example: You must be quiet in the library.
• Mustn't = You cannot do it. It's prohibited.
  • Example: You mustn't run in the hospital.
  • Example: You mustn't eat in the library.

Let's see some examples from the book:

• Simon must be quiet in the library.
• They must catch the bus.
• She must do her homework.
• Stella must stay in bed. She mustn't get up.

Idea fuerza: "Must" is for things you need to do. "Mustn't" is for things you cannot do.

A Day in Town: Reading and Comprehension 📖

Read the text about Lisa's town.

"Hi! I'm Lisa. I live in a small town. My favourite place is the library. It's next to the park. I go there on Saturdays. I must be quiet in the library. I love reading books about animals. My mum works at the hospital. The hospital is in front of the supermarket. My dad works at the sports centre. The sports centre is behind the cinema. On Sundays, we go to the cinema. We mustn't talk during the film!"

Now, answer these questions:

1. Where is the library?
2. What must Lisa do in the library?
3. Where does Lisa's mum work?
4. Where is the sports centre?
5. What mustn't they do in the cinema?

Idea fuerza: Reading helps you see how these words are used in real life.
