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!

It is not easy to get lost in our town, there is a big signpost in the corner of all big roads and streets also the houses have a number on the house door. so it is not easy to be lost direction in our country .
Isn't easy to get lost because my town is small, and i find kinda dangerous to give information to someone you don't know nor their intentions.

It's easy for someone to get lost in my city. I'm not a good person to give directions because I don't remember street names.
Yes, it's easy to follow the map,but in our country we don't have house address.so if you want go someone's house,you should ask people in the town . and they will guide you to it .
It is ont easy to lost in my city because it is so clear and No, I had not discribe to anyone
It's easy to describe the direction to my tawn and house.
But nowadays GPS and location make it easy .
