INTRODUCTION
Background
English as a foreign language consists of four skills namely: writing,
listening, reading, and speaking. These four skills are usually considered as
integrated system because they support each other. To most people, speaking is
the most difficult part in learning a foreign language because it is usage
sense involves the manifestation either of the phonological system or the
grammatical system of the language.
Learners are often hesitate to speak because they are afraid of pronouncing the
words correctly or they feel really shy about talking in front of the other
because they don’t know how to speak correctly. For example if they want to
give some advice for their friend, they must know the rule or the correct
phrase for giving advice. It also works when we ask for or give expression of direction, we must know how to ask for direction and give direction with correct way, word and phrase. Asking and giving direction
is really important. It always happens in our daily life whatever it’s on purpose or spontaneous. So how we can
express the asking and giving direction if we don’t know the correct words and
phrase of asking and giving direction. Because of that, the writer makes a paper entitled “Asking and Giving Direction” to help the learner in expressing surprise correctly.

CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION
A. Conclusion
Asking direction means a
conversation that we always use when we want to ask someone where we are or where is the place that we want to go.
Asking for directions is important, but it's also
easy to become confused when listening to someone giving directions. This is
true even in your own native language, so you can imagine how important it is
to pay careful attention when listening to someone provide directions in
English! Here are a few suggestions and tips to help you remember the
directions as someone gives them to you.
For example:
Ø
What's the best way to …?
Ø
I'm looking for ...
Ø
Can you show me on the map?
Giving direction means a conversation that we
always use it when someone ask to you the direction or what road that they
should take to go to the place they want to go.
Giving street
directions is really very easy when you remember to follow these points. When
giving directions you are actually giving two sets of instructions.
Ø
In the first set- "Go
To" - you are telling the listener what street to go to or how far to go.
Ø
In the second set-
"Then", you are telling the listener what to do when they get there.
(turn right/left, go straight, on the left, etc.)
“How far is it?” is relate
when we ask direction. When we have already know where is the place that we
want to go, we sometimes or need to know how far that place or can we get there
just on walk or not.
For example:
Ø
How far is it to ... From here?
Ø
Is it a long way?
Ø
Quite a long way
Giving direction to drivers and someone who take a
walk are a bit different. Sometimes we need to show the driver the location of
traffic light or traffict sign and even the name of the street.
For example:
Ø
Go over the roundabout
Ø
Take the second exit at the
roundabout
B. Advices
After we experienced our speaking assignment to
make a thesis, we have some advices as follow:
1.
For learner. To improve our
ability in speaking, we must always train ourselves more and read some
references.
2.
For next assignment. Before we’re
being given an assignment, I think that the teacher should give us a specific explanation about our assignment.
