情景对话15：问路

            People are usually helpful when you ask for directions. You should
            try to have the exact¹ address and be as specific² as possible.
            Telephone directories³ are the most common sourse of addresses.
            Remember that many cities and some towns are built in "blocks⁵".
            People will often tell you, for example, to "go two blocks and turn
            right."
