Well, as I said, I can't keep on posting everyday because I'm always away from my computer... But today is holiday, so I have some time to post...
Today we're going to learn how to give and ask for directions in English. First of all, we have to know the places of a city, for example, the market, or the library.
Can you figure out the name of the following places in your language?
We can read books and newspapers at the library.
In the market you can buy things like fruits, vegetables, cleaning products...
If you are not from my city, you can visit the tourist information office for help about where to go...
You can learn things like Math, History and English in the school.
At the hospital there are sick people who want to be healed and there are doctors who help them.
You can withdraw money in the bank.
And in the zoo, there will be different kinds of animals.
At the park there will probably be toys and children, and their aprents will be there too.
You can watch good movies at the cinema.
In the church, you can worship God, in my case I trust in Jeovah, my God.
The hotel is the place where people pay for a room and sleep there and eat there for some time, usually when they are on vacation.
You can watch soccer, basketball, handball, volleyball, any sport in a stadium.
And finally, in the museum, you can see paintings or sculptures, bones of a dinosaur and things like that.
Here we have the map of NY and its main parts:
Now that you know some places of a city, how can you ask for or give directions?
Here are some phrases and questions that you can say that are very useful:

How do I get to...?
What's the best way to...?
Where is …?
Can you tell me the best way of getting to...?
GIVING INFORMATION:
Go straight on (until you come to…).
Turn back./Go back.
Turn left/right (into… street).
Go along …
Go ahead.

Take the first/second road on the left/right

straight on
It's next to....
It's between.....
It'sat the end (of) ....
...on/at the corner.
...behind.
...in front of.
It's (just) around the corner.
LANDMARKS:
Can you see a large sign / roundabout?
On your left there will be a hospital / the police station...
Just after the level crossing / shopping centre (or mall)...
Go past the ...

Now read this dialog for a better understanding:

T.: yes, I do, thanks! And are there hotels in thsi area?

T.: Just one more question. Is there a good Brazilian restaurant near the hostels?
P.O.: No, there aren't Brazilian restaurant in the town. But there is a delicious Italian restaurant behind the Youth Hostel and a Mexican restaurant across from Saint Peter's theater.
