Email Service Notes (Sonia)

Your Original Email

I want to learn how describe a location to someone since I always confused someone when I described the location. If one of my friends are interested in Smart English, she wants to know the detail location and I try to explain to her.
A: What do you think of Smart English?
C: Smart English is very professional and all of teachers are very nice. I think they are focusing on your grammar, pronunciation and vocabulary.
A: Can you please tell me where exactly Smart English is? Is it near to my home or our office?
C: 1) It is on the north of our office and at the crossing of Nanjing West Road and Huashan Road and it’s opposite of Jinan temple. 2) It’s five-minutes taxi ride from our office but the traffic was always bad and I was stuck on the road several times. It will cost you more than RMB 15. 3) it is very convenient to take the metro as you can take the line 7 to go there straightly. It will take you 12 minutes totally. 4) The most convenient and healthy way is to ride bike since we can find shared bikes everywhere and it will take within 10 mins.
