    Basic Version
    Hmm, I am thinking about how to get to the mall from my house. I will write a list of directions on a piece of paper to help me. I will be able to follow the directions when I drive to the mall. First, I need to turn left out of my driveway. Then, I need to drive straight until I arrive at a stop sign. Second, I need to turn right at the stop sign onto East Becker St. I need to stay on East Becker St. for three miles. When I see Johns restaurant, I need to turn left onto Highway 54. Third, I need to stay on Highway 54 for eight miles. Then, I need to get off of the highway at Exit 92. The mall will be on the right. Okay, I hope these directions will help me find the mall!
