Directions and Where is…?

Start an instruction with the basic verb: Go straight. Turn left. You do not need you at the start. Use Don’t for a negative: Don’t cross here. Ask politely: Excuse me. Where is the library? You can also learn How do I get to the library? as a whole phrase. Opposite means across from; next to means beside; between A and B needs two places. For a map or route, first check the starting place and the direction you face. Ask if these are missing. This lesson uses an ordered route table to make each step clear.

Câu chỉ dẫn thường bắt đầu bằng động từ cơ bản: Go straight. Turn left. Không cần you ở đầu. Phủ định dùng Don’t: Don’t cross here. Khi hỏi lịch sự, nói Excuse me. Where is the library? hoặc How do I get to the library? Học cả cụm thứ hai trước khi phân tích chi tiết. Opposite là đối diện, next to là cạnh, between A and B là ở giữa A và B. Đọc bản đồ cần biết điểm bắt đầu và hướng đang nhìn; nếu chưa biết, hãy hỏi thêm thay vì đoán trái/phải. Bài này dùng bảng tuyến đường có thứ tự để tránh mơ hồ.

Go straight.
Turn left at the bank.
The library is opposite the café.
The bank is between the shop and the café.
Where is the station?

Use: Turn left at the bank. · Instead of: Turn to left at the bank.

Use turn left without to. Turn to the left is another correct form.

Use: The bank is next to the café. · Instead of: The bank is between the café.

Between normally needs two reference places. Use next to for the intended meaning beside the café.

Stress the direction words

Make LEFT, RIGHT, STRAIGHT and the place names clear. Pause after each step. Right and light have different first sounds. For the /r/ in right, the tongue does not touch the ridge behind the upper teeth as it does for /l/. Practise slowly, then give three steps.

turn LEFT
turn RIGHT
go STRAIGHT
opposite the BANK

Reading source · A visit to the library

I am at the station entrance. I want to go to the library, but I do not know this town. A woman gives me clear directions. First, I go straight along Station Road to the bank. Then I turn left into King Street. I walk past a small café. The library is on my right, opposite the park. It is not far, so I can walk. The library opens at nine and closes at five. I arrive at ten. I ask for a book about cooking and sit near a window to read.
