GIVING DIRECTIONS

Dear students,
welcome to this new Blog in which we will find interesting materials and resources to improve your English.
Come often to see new games and songs.
You are welcome to leave your comments and suggestions.


Before talking about the main purpose of this blog, these are some instructions of what are you going to find in this space:


*First of all, the main page, that contains introductions and definitions related to the topic


*The game and activities page, designed to interact with our visitors about a certain topic


*And finally, the grammar, structure, and explanation page, responsible for the content related to the main topic.


You can also find many tools available for you to explore with them, such as the translator.


To start, this is a brief introduction in which we are going to analyze all of the topics we will be developing, how to improve some of the most important skills, and mainly use interactive tools to achieve a more precise approach to the student.


Let's get started.
Now you will see a short definition of the topic we are going to work with that is called 
"GIVING DIRECTIONS"

As well as some videos.



There are two basic ways to give directions, the "route perspective" characterized by landmarks, and the "survey perspective" characterized by references to cardinal directions (north, south, west, east). The system you use depends on where you are and who you're giving directions to. Most of the time it's best to use a combination. The most important thing is to be brief and clear!

Purposes And Examples

Purposes and examples
This section is basically designed to show and explain the aim of this subject, how to give information about an address using the proper verbs, prepositions and expressions.

Not everyone knows where they are going and may need help with directions from time to time. Directions may be needed to get to a near by town, or directions to the newest mall in town or directions to the nearest rest room in a large building.

This is a series of videos created to give the viewer a high understanding level.

As you saw at the bottom of the page, giving and asking for directions is not a hard if you follow some of the sequences exposed in the previous videos, of course, we have to keep in mind that there are structures and ways to ask or give directions, some of which we are going to see in a more detailed way on this next page called Grammar, structure, explanation.
