"The filling station is two miles ahead, on the right hand side, immediately after the supermarket." This is an example of giving clear directions.
Writing Directions 01
Clear directions help people reach a place safely. Learn to use sequence words, short commands, and precise landmarks to guide someone from A to B.
1 .
Where are we exactly?
At the bus station
At the train station
At the train station at the southern end of the high street
On the platform
It is useful to have a precise location from which to begin
2 .
How far away are we from the hospital?
A long way
A mile
Half an hour
Three miles
It is useful to have an idea how far you will need to travel
3 .
How long will it take us to reach the hospital on foot?
All day
It is impossible by foot
Nearly an hour, but when does visiting time end?
Two minutes
An hour is a reasonable time to expect a three mile walk to take. It's useful to have a rough idea how long you should expect to be travelling
4 .
Visiting time ends in two hours. Can we catch a bus?
Bus number 10 goes every 5 minutes from the main road
No buses
The next bus goes in two hours time
Yes
Directions should be as specific as possible. If there were no buses, it would be more useful to explain that a taxi would be a good alternative and to give the phone number for a local taxi firm as well
5 .
Does it go right to the hospital please?
I don't know
I'm not sure, ask the driver
No, ask for hospital corner and then you must walk
No, it goes to the next town instead
Try to consider eventualities when you give directions
6 .
When we get off the bus how do we find the hospital?
Ask for help
Ask the driver
There will be a petrol station on your left, take that road
Turn right and walk into the forest for the afternoon
Give details to help readers/your audience orient themselves
7 .
Will we be able to see the hospital from there?
Maybe
No
No, you need to walk to the end of the road and turn right
Yes
Again, details make all the difference between successful and unsuccessful directions
8 .
And then?
Catch a bus back
Catch a train back
Go home again
You will see the hospital at the end of the road
The hospital is the final destination
9 .
Will the buses still be running after visiting hours?
Ask in the petrol station
No idea
Until 9.30; the buses are timed to connect with the trains
Yes but you might have to wait for a train
Someone who is unfamiliar with the area might also need help with the return journey
10 .
Thank you for your clear directions!
Goodbye
Hooray
Oh dear
You're welcome! I hope you find the hospital
Success!
