How to Give Directions
Whether you’re telling someone how to get your house or guiding a stranger to a local museum, you should know how to give good directions.
1. Explain the route based on where the person is coming from. Before you start giving directions, you need to ask the person where exactly they’re coming from. 1.
2. Give the simplest route. While it may seem attractive to give directions to your favorite shortcut, this could wind up doing more harm than good. Instead, give the simplest directions that are least likely to confuse the person.2.
3. Share the safest route. If there are several routes and some of them are especially dangerous, give the safest route. 3. Whether it’s narrow road or a high crime neighborhood, take threats to the person’s safety into consideration.
4. 4. Otherwise, you may give incorrect directions that could get the person lost. Give directions for routes that you’ve taken many times, rather than trying to describe a shortcut or another route you don’t know as well.
5. Warn the person about confusing parts of the route. If there is a confusing part of the route you’re providing, tell the person about it very carefully. 5. Some points of confusion could include roads with little notice and turns that are very slight.
A.Create a map of the route and share it.
B.Don’t suggest routes you haven’t taken.
C.Besides, tell them when to expert the confusing part.
D.As your directions will depend on which way they are headed.
E.Don’t use words, phrases or names which only the locals know.
F.This way, you’ll decrease: the chance of the person’s getting last.
G.As the person you’re advising won’t know the dangers they’ll be driving through.
It’s late at night, the weather is bad and you’re hungry. Your favorite restaurant is less than a mile away, but you don’t want to leave the house, and you don’t want to pay a $5 delivery fee. So, what do you do? Back in the old days, you would have braved the weather. But those days are coming to an end, at least in Washington, D.C.
A group of about 20 knee-high robots recently has appeared on the sidewalks of the nation’s capital. Their tasks are to bring take-out food from restaurants to hungry customers at home—while keeping the delivery cost to around a dollar.
The robots are European, created in Estonia by a company called Starship Technologies. Each of them is a middle-sized cooler on six wheels, drives at an average speed of about 4 miles per hour, about the speed of a walker. It has lights and a tall, bright orange flag so that it can be noticed by people on the sidewalk.
Here in Washington, Starship has teamed up with Postmates, the online delivery service, and the robots already are completing deliveries around the city.
They move almost silently. They are electric so there isn’t much sound aside from their wheels. Their cameras recognize a lot—including traffic lights and stop signs.
The robots have only been in Washington for about a month, and they’re still causing quite a stir, often getting stopped for photos. A young mother Maria is on the sidewalk, pointing out the robot to her daughter. “It’s super cool,” she says. “But the only thing that concerns me—is it going to put people out of jobs?”
The company does not see robots as a replacement, says Russell Cook, the director of Postmates. “We have people that drive cars, walk and bike, and we see robots as another type of vehicle that helps us offer deliveries,” he says.
