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

给别人指路时的表达
●给别人指路时我们既可以说go along也可以说go down。Ｇ为一、Ｇ为Ｓ和秋自肥箝未予条。沿着主路直走到红绿灯。
●同样，说“转弯”的时候，我们可以说go 也可以说turn。Go/Turn right at the traffic lights. 在红绿灯处右拐。
英国英语里楼层的数法
●如果上面的邮件用英国英语写：
-Ms的后面不加句点
-用carpark来代替parking lot
-在ICB Industries 的前后不是用双引号而是单引号。
●我们已经学习了楼层的不同数法。在美国说三楼等于欧洲的二楼。
