17.Finding a New PlaceMax is new in town.His family just moved into a new apartment.Max asked the landlord(房東)where he might go to meet people of his own age.
"The Community Center is for people of your age.I am sure you could find some friends there,"said the landlord."Is the Community Center far from here?"Max asked."No.It's only a few blocks away.It's about a ten-minute walk from here,"replied the landlord."Give me a minute,I'll write down the directions."
Max smiled.He hoped that he would make some friends at the Community Center.
The landlord gave Max a note.Max read the words on the note.
Max's smile disappeared.He would never be able to find the Community Center because he didn't know how to follow directions that used words like north and west.
Max needs to get a map of his neighborhood.This map could help him find directions.He took the directions and the map from his landlord.He was sure he could find the Community Center.The landlord told Max that the front door of his building faces west.
When he came out of his building,he walked west on the Main Street until he came to the park.
Taylor Street was right next to the park.He looked at his direction note.It said,"Then,walk north on Taylor for one block."
Max looked at the map.He could tell that if he was facing west,north would be on his right.He turned to the right on Taylor Street.He walked one block.He could see a big building with a sign.It said"Community Center".He found it!
