I'll ask to help and use google maps
There should be a brochure at the entrance................
this exercise is a little complicate to me because i'm not accustomed to listening in english and like this exercise is about "give directions" i'm confussed with the stranger words but with attention I can understand the second part of the exercise.
I can say that is really important know how give a direction in the real word.
i use google maps if i get lost but if google maps doesn't wor then i ask someone
When I get lost, I use the Google Maps
I want to give a directions somebody. This is a library from my home.
As soon as left my home turn right then go straight on until main road when you arrive the main road turn left then go straith on aproximitely 100 metre
When I got lost, I usually open Google Maps to find the location, but if I don't bring my phone or the place is hard to find, I'll ask the police to get directions.
May be I will ask someone around or ask the police when I get lost.
I call my mother or father and if they don't answer , I try to find a familiar object or street and go to a place I know ( for example my home or my grandmother's house )
If I get lost, and if I have a phone, just take it and call mom. But if I don't have, I'll find the police or other people for help. But sure I will never get lost, haha. : )
when I get lost in a town,I can get help of a police officer. The police officer can call my mum and dad.
When i get lost i ask someone.
I search for a police officer; also, I can ask a person for directions; or I can ask for a mobile phone to call my parents.
Some years ago, I didn't have phone, so I always asked anyone to find road. But now I'm having my phone and it's useful to find road by google map. But sometimes, google map is wrong so I still need to ask someone
I would like to ask those people who live there or work there.
I will ask people around there. If there aren’t any people there, I will phone my parents for help
First i call my mam or dad
next i open GPS and stay here
I don’t like a lier...!
I usually use GPS
I ask somebody around whenever I get lost.
But, recently, it's difficult to talk to someone. People are busy using smartphones or wearing earphones on the road...
I can only talk to aged people taking time and practice...! ;)
I usually use Google map
I will ask for help
I try to ask someone if he can help me to find the place
Ask!!
Dear Editor,
My english teacher tought me " go straight ahead " but in this listening part you use " go straight on " ı wonder is there any difference between these two phrases in daily usage.
If you answer my question ı would be happy...
Hi bilko. Those two phrases have the same meaning and in general you can use either one.
There's a small difference in usage: 'go straight on' is often used after some place that you mention (e.g. 'After the traffic lights, go straight on') and I think 'go straight ahead' is less common for this.

If I don't know the way to go to the cinema, I will ask my dad for help cuz in Vietnam there is no free wifi to use Google Maps
I would look for a map of the city on the internet
I usually use google map, or asking people. Sometimes i call my parents for asking directions..
I would tell a policeman if he could help or if he would not ask people
