Whether you're telling someone how to get to your house or guiding a stranger to a local museum,you should know how to give good directions. Giving directions,though,is harder than just telling someone how to get to a certain location. Let's learn how to guide others better.
First,instead of directing a person from beginning to end,think of it as directing him or her from landmark to landmark. And mention important and hard-to-miss landmarks. These will give the person an idea of the progress he or she is making and also let the person know if he or she is still on the path you advised him or her to take.
If you can't describe the route(路线)clearly in words,draw a map. A map allows the person to imagine where he or she is going. You can also include details,such as the location of landmarks,on your map. Also,the map can give the person something to hold on to so he or she won't forget your directions.
Although it might be convenient to give someone directions to your favourite shortcut(近路),it could do more harm than good. Instead,give the simplest directions. This will reduce the chance of the person getting lost. When considering the simplest route,choose ones with fewer turns,even if the person takes a bit longer,or pick routes where the person can stay on one road for a long time. Avoid suggesting routes you haven't personally taken.
Finally,don't rush when giving directions. Take time to explain important details,such as possible dangers. If you don't speak slowly or clearly,the person may miss an important piece of information. At the same time,avoid using words,phrases,or names that only locals know. Any example you use should be recognizable to someone from outside your community.
