Even today when so many people have smartphones, it isn't always easy to find the way to places, especially for tourists. When you give directions, make sure that your directions are clear and easy to understand. Make it clear exactly where the person asking for directions needs to go, and what order they need to do things in. Specific information will be more helpful than general information and it's always a good idea to be polite to people who ask you for directions too. Work in pairs.
