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.

I would look for a map of the city on the internet

I would tell a policeman if he could help or if he would not ask people
I would look for a map or ask for help to the first person I see

If I got lost in any city, I would ask for indications or I would call my family by phone
Usually, I open my Google map...

Well, if I have a cellphone with internet I search the location to the place I wanna go, but if I don't have one, I look for someone to ask him to tell me some directions to the place that I want to go.
