Dear Ms.Cole:
Here are directions to our offices in Greenpoint. Take the train from Pennsylvania Station to Greenpoint.
When you leave the Greenpoint Station, walk across the parking lot to Buiter Street.
Then go down Builter Street for about five minutes.
You will see a large sign that says “ICB industries” on your left. GHo through the gate.
You will see two red brick building on your right.
The executive offices of ICB are not on the third floor of the second building. With best wishes,
Don King

給別人指路時的表達
●給別人指路時我們既可以說go along也可以說go down。Ｇ為一、Ｇ為Ｓ和秋自肥箝未予條。沿著主路直走到紅綠燈。
●同樣，說“轉彎”的時候，我們可以說go 也可以說turn。Go/Turn right at the traffic lights. 在紅綠燈處右拐。
英國英語里樓層的數法
●如果上面的郵件用英國英語寫：
-Ms的后面不加句點
-用carpark來代替parking lot
-在ICB Industries 的前后不是用雙引號而是單引號。
●我們已經學習了樓層的不同數法。在美國說三樓等于歐洲的二樓。
