Theme 5: Directions.
Asking and giving directions.

When you’re in a country you don’t know, you can easily get lost at some point during the
trip, even if you have a map. So it’s really useful to know how to ask for and understand
directions in English so you can reach your destination. It’s also great to be able to give
directions yourself to tourists or foreign colleagues.

So what words and phrases can help you give and ask for directions? Read on to find out!

First of all, you need to know some basic vocabulary. The most important words and phrases
are:

It’s also helpful to know some common places people visit in a city, such as the following:

pág. 31
Here are some examples:

Go along the street until you reach the traffic lights.

•
• You’ll see a bank on the left.
• It’s about two blocks from here.
• I prefer going to the airport on the highway because it’s faster.
Some prepositions and adverbs can also help when you’re giving directions:

For example,

• My office building is in front of the mall.

• Go straight on for about one kilometre.
• The cinema is next to the bank.

Asking for directions

pág. 32
When you ask for directions, remember above all to be polite. So start by saying one of the
following phrases:

• Hello. Can you help me, please?

• Good morning. May I ask for some help?
• Excuse me, could you help?
Once you have someone’s attention, you can ask for help to reach your destination. You can
do that by using one of these phrases:

• Could you tell me how to get to the bank?

• Do you know where the museum is?
• We can’t find the subway station. Is it near here?
• Where can we find a park near here?
If you’re not sure you’re going in the right direction, you can make sure by asking:

• Are we on the right road to the city center?

• Is this the right way to the mall?
• What’s the best way to get to the airport?

Giving directions
In the same way that you need to ask directions when you travel abroad, foreigners visiting
your city might ask you directions, and what better way to practice English than to help them?

Here are some common phrases you can use:

• Go past the cinema. (Pass the cinema.)

• Go along this road.
• Go straight on/ahead. (Stay on this road – don’t turn.)
• Go through the tunnel.
• At the roundabout, take the first exit.
• Turn left at the crossroads.
• Take the second right.
• It’s on your left.
• You’ll see it in front of you.
• It’s on the other side of the road.
• You’re going the wrong way.

indefinite). Depending on the person, the simple present tense is formed by using the

Theme 3: The Calendar (Season, days, dates, months of years).
A calendar is systematic arrangements of days and dates in a month and arrangements of months in a
year. A calendar is a chart or set of pages that lists the days and months of a year, in an organised
way.The calendar is divided into 12 months of the year. In short Calender is a means to keep a count
of time, building a relation of days with dates.

Reading a CalendarTo read a calendar we must know the structure of the calendar and time divided
into different units. A year is divided into 12 months which goes by names:“January, February, March,
April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December”.Each month is further
divided into approximately 4 weeks, where each week consists of 7 days which go by name:“Sunday,
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday”.

Uses of CalendarThe calendar helps us to track the current date , day or month or even a year. It also
helps to know on which day an event has fallen in the previous year or on which day a particular
event is gonna occur.We can say we use Calendar for :Planning the daily activities.Keeping the track
of events.Remembering the important dates.Managing the daily routine or Schedule.Counting DaysIn
the task of counting days we must be aware of certain facts. Note that each month has 30 days or 31
days , except for the second month it has 28 days and every once in 4 years called leap year it will
have 29 days.
