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."
