ENGLISH FORM 1 TOPIC 2:GIVING DIRECTIONS

This requires students to have knowledge of how to ask for directions and identify the four points of a compass; using various prepositions such as: near to, in front of, beside, behind, under, adjacentto,between, on, in, to, by, at, into, onto, etc. for different situations.

Words used when giving directions

• Go straight
• Cross bridge
• Turn left
• Keep straight
• Turn right

• Cross junction
• Walk along
• 
  
  
  

Important issues when giving directions

• Use basic English to offer directions.
• Short phrases are best.
• Speak slowly.
• Use clear pronunciation.
• Spell out words if necessary.

In giving directions:

1. Use transitions: After that, then, next, when you get to……… go
2. Specify distance: Some people feel better knowing how long it will take to get to their destination, example “it’s about five minutes away.”
3. Use landmarks:”You will see large clock”, “You will see blue large building.”
4. More useful language: It’s on [street name], It’s opposite …., It’s near …..
5. Repeat yourself: If you repeat the direction again, the other person will feel comfortable.
6. Clarify:Make sure that the person understands your directions, example “did you get all that?”
7. Don’t guess: I am sorry, I’m not from here, I’m afraid I can’t help you.”
