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!
Yes,it is.Now I living in a big city called Budapest. Budapest has many tourists, and sometimes someone asks me something.
My city is very large, but there are many directions. So it's very easy to get to places.

No, it is not easy to get lost in my town. In my town, and everywhere in the UK, we use exact postcodes. For example, when we give someone an address, we first tell them the postcode, like AB01 2CD. Usually, one postcode covers 10 to 25 houses, but this number can be different for flats. After that, you need the house number and the name of the street or alley.
Yes, I often give directions to visitors and tourists in my town. I live in an old town in East Anglia, so we have many visitors.
Yes, it is. I living in a big city where have many small street. If you don't have a map, you can get lost, but don't worry about it, you can ask someone and get a instruction because people live here very kind and friendly. So, I have ever given directions to many visitor many time.
Thank you

I think getting lost in my town is easy for me because I haven't been in many places. Also I've never given the directions to a visitor.
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 Riyadh town.
