How to Ask for Directions
Asking for directions is the first thing we do when we arrive in a new place, or even when we are just trying to find a strange place. Here are some tips for you.
Use greetings and polite expressions. Starting the conversation with a greeting is necessary. If you want to get a nice answer, you'd better begin by saying "Hello" first. And some words like "may" "can" and "could" will help you express yourself better.
Build your vocabulary(词汇). You should know the basic words that can be used when asking for directions. Learn the most commonly used prepositions(介词) like "between" and adverbs(副词) like "near". It's also useful for you to remember places like High Park, and words like "bank", "block". . . Then try to use the right words when asking for a direction. Sometimes, it can happen that you are still far from the place you look for and you have to use the public transport. Which kind of public transportation should you choose? You might ask like this, "Is it far? Do I need to take the bus or the subway there?" You also need to remember different kinds of transportation like the underground or the taxi when explaining your need.
Try to know some important landmarks(地标). Don't be afraid of using symbols. Every city in the world has its own symbols. You can decrease(减少) search time if you know what the most important symbols are in the city. For example, in London, England, you may find that there are many symbols here. Find it and make it！
Don't be too shy to ask. Learn to relax if you get lost somewhere. Every person may do that now and then, especially when visiting a new city.
A. Get to know the transportation system. B. But always make sure you can ask others for help. C. They are very useful when you need to find somewhere fast. D. Knowing how to ask for them can make our life much easier. E. And it is also important to know where your house or hotel is on a map. |
