To give or receive directions correctly, however, it is very important to understand what we are being told and what to say in response. For those that want to learn English, asking for and giving directions is an excellent way to practice the language. Then there are those who prefer to talk to passers-by, partly because they do not like technology and partly because they prefer human contact. After all, it is possible for your phone to stop working or for the battery to run out earlier than expected. It is also increasingly common for tourists to stop us on the street because they are looking for a restaurant or archaeological site. Even today, we can often find ourselves lost in an unknown city asking for directions. That person who looked as if they knew everything about the area, a local resident who gave off an air of reliability and availability was the one you were looking for.Īre those times over? The answer is no. Those times when you would assess the passers-by with the hope of identifying the right person to ask for directions. Wherever we may find ourselves in the world at any moment of the day, we can activate our devices to find the correct address. In today’s world, full of technology, GPS, and digital maps, everything seems easier.
