STREET DIRECTIONS Introduction: Anybody who has travelled to another country or city has got lost. Sometimes maps don't help, so you have to ask somebody for directions. If you're in a country where they don't speak your language, this can be difficult. At other times, you will have to give directions to people visiting your country. In many cases, people just follow the direction the person was pointing to, and hope they will find the place they are looking for. So, it's very important to know how to both ask for and give directions in English.

EXERCİSE: RECEİVİNG DİRECTİONS A visitor to the city of York in the North of England asks a person in the street for directions to the Silk Cottage restaurant. Read the directions that she is given and compare them with the below map of York that shows the route. The visitor receives the directions at the red marker with the letter ' S ' on the left of the map. The restaurant is located where the red marker with the letter ' F ' is, at the top right of the map. Using both the directions and the map, try to guess what the meaning of the words/phrases in bold are.

Visitor:'Excuse me, could you tell me the way to the Silk Cottage restaurant please?'York Resident: 'Eh, the Silk Cottage restaurant. It's on the other side of the river. The easiest way to get there is to go right from here and then take the second street on your left. Then go along the street until you reach a junction. Turn left at the junction, and you'll be on a big road then. Then go straight ahead . You'll then come to a bridge, go over the bridge. It is better to cross over the road after the bridge, there's a pedestrian crossing there. Then follow the road until you reach a big church, which is called York Minster. Take the road on your right which is in front of York Minster and then go past the Minster. Then take the first street on your left, then go up the road until the first street on your right and the Silk Cottage restaurant is there. Opposite is a big building called the Treasurer's House. Is that ok?'

Visitor:'Excuse me, I'm looking for the Yorkshire Insurance Building, do you know where it is?’ Leeds Resident: Yeah, it's in the centre on the other side of the river. Right, from here go right .Then when you reach the end of the street,you need to turn right again. Go along the road until you reach the bridge.It's best to coss over the road before the bridge.Then go over the bridge.Then carry on until in front of you is a roundabout. At the roundabout, take the first street on your left.Then go up that street. Go past the church called Leeds Minster. Then, at the end of the street you'll reach a junction.Cross over the road and go up the street in front of you on your right. At the end of the street, turn left and then take the first road on your right, then go straight ahead until you reach the end of the street.The Yorkshire Insurance Building is in front of you, opposite a square.The Yorkshire Insurance Building is located at marker (B).
