From home to my office. Start at the parking garage of the apartment I go straight to Road Pham Hung, go straight to the crossroads between Road Pham Hung, Nguyen Hoang,Ton That Thuyet turn the left go straight to the roundabouts turn left is my office. Every evening, after dinner I walk on the pavement of the apartment to better heathy, street lights are very light, which helps me see things clearly. Over there, I see everyone walking too. They are happy with their story. When traffic lights are red I stop and wait about one minute to cross to the square where everyone can play games together every day. Next to square is a shop coffee very beautiful which is on the corner.

I can see roads, traffic lights, street lights, crossings, bus stops, and a crossing road near my house. There aren't signposts, though.

roundabout or roundabouts

Hello juliojacoob,

When talking about road infrastructure the correct word is 'roundabout'.

Here in our city we see street lights but are not lightened. we see squares but does not have place for people to visit each other there. we have roads but are standard. we have roundabouts but if the traffic not there for just for five minutes, you have to wait hours and hours then. :-)

Hello, dear teachers and team!

Could you please help me with the following:

If it takes me one hour to get to a certain neighbourhood and the same amount of time to get from that neighbourhood, could I say:

"It is one hour in one direction, and one hour - in the other direction. "

Does that sound correct and natural? Or has it to be another?

Thank you so much for your constant help and I'm very grateful for answering to this post beforehand!
