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!

Is it easy to get lost in your town? Have you ever given directions to a visitor?
I think it’s easy to get lost in a town you don’t know, especially if you don’t have your phone with you. However, in my city, there are lots of people around, so it’s easy to ask someone for directions.
Nowadays, with apps like Google Maps, Waze, or Citymapper—apps we can’t live without—it’s much easier to find your way without getting lost.
For example, when I visit the Palace of Versailles (in France), many tourists often ask for directions. I’ve had the opportunity to help some of them by pointing out different areas of interest.
I do not get lost in my town, because I use Google cards. I have given direction to various of people, who have visited my town.
It is easy to get lost in my town because It is very big and there are many neighbordhood. I somethimes give directions to a visitor to get my home.
To get my home, If your are at centertown, you can get a bus number 616 to Abatta. If you arrive at the bus terminus, turn around and come straight the road until the second crossroad and turn right. Then walk until the third crossroad and take the first exit. My house is near the fish seller.
If you take a car, go down at nouveau goudron and take a taxi to Abatta Village. If you arrive at the taxi terminus, turn around and come straight the road until the first crossroad and turn right. Then walk until the third crossroad and take the first exit. My house is near the fish seller.
I often visit various big cities abroad by car. And I have never got lost because I used the Google navigator.
