*Untuk meminta bantuan anda bisa mengawali dengan mengatakan.

e.g. Excuse me, can you help me, please ?

* Kemudian lanjutkan dengan menyebutkan tujuan anda bila orang yang anda tanya tidak keberatan memberikan bantuan, misalkan dengan mengatakan

e.g. do you know where the ............nama tempat yang anda cari is ?

*Jika sebaliknya anda di tanya seseorang yang mungkin tersesat cara sederhana untuk menunjukan arah dengan mengatakan.

e.g. it’s that way *kearah sana, atau it’s this way *ke arah sini

*Namun bagaimana bila seseorang bertanya arah kepada anda tetapi anda tidak tahu di mana tempat nya itu berada, anda bisa berkata.

e.g. I am sorry, I don’t know* maaf saya tidak tahu
