Hi, it's me. How's it going? I guess you're at work and you don't have your phone on, right? First of all, thank you, THANK YOU for the birthday card and message. I received it this morning. That's so nice of you. I'm organising a little party for my birthday. It's nothing very big – only a few of my best and closest friends. That means you too! We're going to have it at my cousin's house. She lives in the countryside in a nice big house with a swimming pool. I'd love to see you there. It's going to be this Friday. I'll send you the instructions on how to get there later, OK?
Anyway, have fun at work. Don't work too hard, OK? Talk soon.

Aw, you're still not answering your phone! OK, here are the instructions to get to my cousin's house for the party. Are you going to take your car? If you take the car, drive straight on Forest Road until you get to the motorway. Drive past Brownsville and take exit 13A. That's 13A. You drive down the road there and turn left. It's the first big house on the right. OK? If you're taking a bus, you can get the number 80 to Brownsville. Call me when you get there and somebody can pick you up in a car. I can't wait. This is going to be so great!
I find it VERY easy to get lost because the streets are confusing. we don´t know if they are increasing or decreasing. Many people get lost easily, but fortunately Waze exists.
In my town, you will never get lost because there is a famous monument that everyone uses as a reference point. Last month, I gave directions to my friend so she could find me there.
Well I'm too bad with directions , I often get loss if I don't use the smartphone to follow the route. So.. I could say that it's not a good idea to give indications to anyone.
It is not easy to be lost in my small town. I've ever given directions to visitors. I am really happy to do ít.
Nice ♡

The listening is very good for me and easy to understand.
it's easy to understand to me
It's depends on how far from you come.
I haven't given directions to anyone before, but if someone ask me how to get there, I'd tell them to take public transport to the town center.
When they arrive at the town, in front of municipal palace, they must walk a few meters to the left. When they see the elementary school, they will find a bus stop.
They should take another bus to K casas neigborhood.
