Giving Directions

Are you good at giving directions? Listen to the following conversation to hear two friends discuss how to get to a party. Pay attention to the words they use to describe the party's location. Do you know how to get to the party tonight? Is it near the school? No, it's far from the school. It's next to the bank. What do I do when I get to the school? Do I turn left? No, turn right and then go straight for three blocks. Okay, I think I can find it. Thank you. You're welcome. Call me if you get lost. Later that evening. Hello? I followed your directions, but I can't find the party. Okay, where are you now? Are you in front of the post office? I'm on the corner of 1st Street and 3rd Avenue. I'm behind the bakery. Oh, I know where you are. Turn around. You will see me across the street. We can walk to the party together. Have you ever gotten lost when following directions? What did you do? Share your experience with a friend. See if you can use some of the new location words you have learned. This is American English. Thanks for watching.
