Advanced: Reading Comprehension

You are whizzing down the highway on your way to visit a friend when you realize you have no idea where you are. Youre lost! Did you make a wrong turn? Sometimes we all need to ask for directions. Although asking for directions is generally beneficial, it's also easy to get confused. Here are a few suggestions and tips to help you remember directions. Make sure to always ask the person that is giving you directions to talk slowly. Often, the person giving directions speaks so quickly that it all becomes a blur. Additionally, you should repeat each direction the person gives you. That way, it will help you remember the names of the streets and the turns, as well as help the person giving directions to catch any misunderstandings before you go on your way. Lastly, you may find that making drawings while the person describes the route will help you to remember the directions.
