Grammar：Giving directions
【明報專訊】MoMo and Bill are finding their way to Dr Panda's new laboratory.
MoMo: Dr Panda said that his new laboratory is located between the cinema and the post office.
Bill: Yes, it should be somewhere near the fire station. We are currently at the park. I think we need to go straight ahead, and turn left when we see the swimming pool.
MoMo: I beg to differ. The road outside the pet shop is under construction, so we shall take another route. After turning right at the swimming pool, we should turn left into King Road at the roundabout.
Bill: I think we will walk past the police station.
MoMo: The police station is located at Cherry Road, not King Road. We will walk past the bookstore instead. Then, we turn left into Second Road. The new laboratory is directly opposite the sports ground. It is located at an obscure corner at the road, but it looks pretty spacious inside. Have you finished marking the directions on the map?
Bill: Right, right, right. Let's go.
