Knowing Your Stations In Life

(I am teaching English as a second language to a group of very clever elementary school kids. I am teaching them about how to tell directions, and we’re going over landmarks one might use. I’m showing them flash cards.)
Me: “What’s this?” *holding up a picture of a police station*
Students: “Police!”
Me: “Good! Good! Close! It’s a Police Station. Police Station. Now… what’s this?” *holding up a picture of a fire station*
Students: “Fire… Fire… Fire station?”
Me: “Oh, very good! Yes! Fire station! Next!” *holding up a picture of a train station*
Students: “Train station!”
Me: “Excellent! And next?” *holding up a picture of a hospital*
Students: *excitedly* “Doctor station!”
