Asking for directions is the first thing we need to do when we get to a different country. Knowing how to ask for help can make our life much easier! Here are some tips for you.

Use greetings and polite expressions: Starting the conversation with a friendly greeting is a must. If you want to get a great answer, begin by saying “hello” first. And finish with a “thank you” and “have a nice day”.

Examples: Excuse me, could you help me?/ Hello! May I ask for some help? / I need to get to the CN tower.

Build your vocabulary: You should know the basic vocabulary that can be used when getting directions. Try to remember places like High Park, Queen Street, and words like traffic lights, bank, block, etc.

Examples: It’s about two blocks away from here. /Go along the street until you reach the traffic lights.

Learn the most commonly used prepositions and adverbs: Some important prepositions to remember are between, next to, and straight ahead. And the adverbs nears, nearer, and nearest are very useful when you need to find somewhere fast.

Examples: The zoo is straight ahead. / It’s between a bank and a post office.

Try to know some important landmarks: Every city in the world has its own landmarks. You can cut down on search time if you know what the important landmarks are.

Examples: It is next to the CN Tower! Go past the Aquarium and then turn left.

There are some skills for students to listen to teacher in class, which means you’re going to have to practice it. Just as you would have to practice basketball to be a better player, you also have to practice listening. How to listen in school? 1.

One of the things you need to do is to make sure that your mind doesn’t wander(漫游). It’s easy to start thinking about other things, especially when you’re not interested in the subject. 2.

Next, listen for the main ideas. If you want to catch every little piece of information, you’ll feel tired and bored. You’ll also need to look at the teacher. Not only does this show respect (尊重) to the teacher, it also helps prevent your mind from wandering. 3.Or it could just be someone talking to their neighbors who shouldn’t be, it can even be some birds outside the classroom window, or a group of kids who are talking loudly as they pass the door to your room.  

Finally, you need to take notes because you can not remember everything the teacher says. You’ll have to take down the notes so that you can study it after class. 4.

Listening isn’t always easy, but if you follow these simple steps, you’ll be much more successful in your classes.

A. Here are some suggestions.

B. Listen carefully is helpful.

C. It might be a friend who is trying to pass you a note.

D. Taking notes also makes you pay attention to the class.

E. So make yourself pay attention to what the teacher is saying.
