👉 Tip for IELTS:
Listen carefully for signpost language like “If you go past… you’ll see…” or “Just opposite the…” – these almost always tell you the answer.
They often distract with wrong directions first, then correct themselves. Example: “Turn left at the entrance – oh sorry, I meant turn right.”
