Can you give me directions to the library?

好答案:

Sure! First, walk straight down High Street for two blocks, then turn left at the bakery. After that, the library will be on your right, next to the park, because it’s the big building with the blue door. I saw it from the corner of the square.

How long does it take to walk there?

好答案:

It takes about fifteen minutes, because the library is only a few blocks away. I walked there last week and it was quick. The route is straight and safe.

Is there a bus that goes there?

好答案:

Yes, there is a bus number 12 that stops right in front of the library. I took it last month and it was convenient. The bus leaves every fifteen minutes during the day.

What should I do if I get lost?

好答案:

If you get lost, ask a local for directions, because they usually know the area. I once asked a shopkeeper and he guided me. It’s safer to stay near a landmark.

Thank you, can you show me the map?

好答案:

Here’s a simple map: start at the square, go straight for two blocks, turn left, then the library is on your right. I drew it yesterday for a friend. The map shows the bakery and the park as landmarks.
