ミミ子は、青木社長と陸上部のコーチと中学校の校門前にいます。
Let’s listen to today’s story.
Mimiko: Coach, why did we meet outside the junior high school gates today?
Coach: Because the race will begin and end at the field right here. By the way, we won’t run today.
Mimiko: Huh? Are you sure?
Coach: Taday, we will walk the course. This way, we can learn the most effective way to run it.
Mr. Aoki: It’s practice for winning.
Mimiko: I thought running fast was the key to winning.
Mr. Aoki: Coach, please get started.
Coach: Let’s walk toward the halfway point, Sakurayama park. First, when we get out of the school, we will turn left at the intersection. Then, we will walk along the slope toward the running course by Sakurayama River. Let’s go.

Then, we will walk along the slope toward the running course by Sakurayama River.
道案内で使う定番の表現をもっと増やしましょう。「～で右・左に曲がってください」は turn right/left のあとに at … をおいて、具体的な地点を表します。この場合の right/left は副詞です。
Walk や run、go といった移動を表す動詞のあとに、along …（～に沿って）、toward …（～のほうに向かって）のような前置詞句を付け足しながら情報を増やしていくと、説明がより具体的でわかりやすくなります。
CAN-DO 活用例文
