Asking for and Giving Directions Lesson
In the course of their work, businesspeople often travel to other people's offices or businesses. And, from time to time they need to find they way around places they have never been. Take a look at the structures for asking for and giving directions in the table below:
When Giving Directions in English Giving directions usually consists of two sets of instructions. In the first set: Say "Go to" and tell the listener what street, building, office number, etc - or - how far they need to go. In the second set: Say "Then" and tell the listener what to do when they get there. (turn left, turn right, it's on the left, etc.) Giving even very complicated directions is just a repetition of these two steps.
Can you give me directions to the nearest bus stop?

How do you get to the train station?

Where can I find the nearest bakery?

Is there a supermarket near here?

Is there a sports shop around here?

Can you tell me how to get to library from here?

What's the best way to get to the computer store from here?

What's the quickest way to get to the music store from here?

What's the easiest way to get to the nearest Mcdonalds from here?

This conversation is between 2 people called William and Kate. William stops Kate in the street to ask for directions on how to get to the train station. After the conversation is some useful tips on asking and giving directions.

Excuse me, am sorry to trouble you, but could you tell me how I can get to the
train station?
Kate:Yes no problem, it's that way. Keeping walking straight ahead then after you
pass the library you have to turn left. then take your first right and it's across
from the bus station. You cannot miss it!

Thank you so much! I have only been in Manchester for 2 days, so I don't
know how to get anywhere yet.

Oh, I know that feeling. Me and my husband moved here a 6 months ago, and I
still don't know how to find certain places! Manchester is so big.

So just to double check Keep walking straight ahead till I pass the library, then
I have to turn left and take the first right. Then it's across the bus station. Is
that correct?

Panee : Hello, may we ask you something?

Laura : Certainly.

Panee : I am Panee and this is my classmate Yada.

Laura : okay, I am Laura, what can I help you?

Panee : We want to go to Mrs. Sukdee's house, can you show us where her
house is?

Laura : Well okay, Mrs. Sukdee's house is 30 minutes from this junction, go
straight ahead and you'll see a house painted blue and red gate.

Panee : On which side?

Laser : On the right side of the road. That's where she lives. Are you her
students?

Panee : Yes we are. thank you very much

Laura : You're welcome.
