Video assignment.
Watch the short video below. This man tells you, at high speed and with proper British humour, about what (not) to do in the London Underground. After watching the video, do the exercise to check if you've got the skills to travel on the London Underground.
Practical assignment: learning to read the Underground Map
In this assignment you'll learn how the Underground Map works. You're going to look at the map and do an exercise with it.
Step-by-step plan
1. Go to the Tube Map. (don't be scared, it looks a little complicated... but it won't bite.)
2. On the map, you see all the different underground railroads in London. These are called lines. Every colour is a different line. On the bottom right of the map you see the names and colours of the map.
3. Make sure you can find the following lines on the map: Bakerloo, Central and Circle.
4. Now look for Paddington station. Hint: it's on the Bakerloo line.
5. Now do the exercise below.
