Todayโs episode is about: Giving Directions.
Previous lesson was about โasking for directionsโ. Todayโs shadowing is about โgiving directionsโ.
In this lesson, we will focus on: Giving Directions and Directions with landmark.
In the end, I will give example sentences, to help you with what we have learnt today.
I hesitate when giving directions because I donโt remember road names but I do remember landmarks around the area. Lets go over the different ways of giving directions.
Giving Directions
Giving directions can be challenging because you will need to describe how to get from A to B location. You can use the following examples:
Turn right at the red light and youโll see the โtrain stationโ.
Turn left and youโll reach the โsupermarketโ.
You are going the wrong way. You will need to walk back towards the โfountainโ.
Continue straight ahead. The โparkโ is in front.
The โbus stopโ is across the road.
The โrestaurantโ is a few blocks away.
Take the first road on your left and youโll see the โhotelโ.
At the roundabout, turn left.
Directions with landmark
Next lesson is about directions with landmark. I am a visual person. I find it easier to give directions with landmark description. You can use the following examples:
The โdepartment storeโ is next to the โhotelโ.
Walk towards the โbus stopโ, then turn right at the โsupermarketโ.
The โparkโ is in front of the โtrain stationโ.
Turn left at the โbankโ and walk straight.
The โtaxi standโ is across the road from the โtoy storeโ.
Walk past the โschoolโ and turn right, youโll see the โcafeโ.
Go straight ahead until you see the โhospitalโ and then you'll see the โuniversityโ on your left.
I hope above lesson helps you on your English journey. See you in the next lesson!
