Describe a Time when You Used a Map. You Should Say:

When It Was?
Where You Were?
What Did You Do?
And Explain how You Felt About It.

First of all, it is pretty challenging to use a Map, especially Google Maps, in my country, as many places have not been on the Internet. However, in January 2019, I used Google Maps to find the DHL office, as my father had sent me a gift from abroad.

I went to receive it from the DHL office, as I was in South Africa during a short school vacation. So, after I got the address of the DHL office that possessed my gift, I copied and pasted it into Google Maps.

Afterwards, I saw my destination point and the way to follow in order to reach it. After hours of walking, I finally reached the destination point and collected my present, so I felt good because I had saved a lot by not taking a hired car.

Part 3 Questions: Describe a Time when You Used a Map

Question 1:- Do you often get lost?

Of course, Many times I have got lost, especially when I went to the new city, as I grew up in a small village with little infrastructure compared to other cities. Hence, it gave me a hard time when I was about to move to another place, as it required me to hire a taxi to overcome the scenario of getting lost.

Question 2:- Is map-reading skill important?

Absolutely yes, I agree with it, knowing how to use a map is the best practical skill in this world, as it can save you from situations that could cost you thousands of dollars.

Question 3:- Are some people better at map reading than others?

Yes, and especially people from big cities have high knowledge of using maps compared to other people from small towns, as they use them many times, so in the end they get familiar with them.

Question 4:- Why do some people like travelling to other places?

Travelling has become popular nowadays because it has a positive impact on our brain and daily physical activities, such as getting exposure to different cultures and experiencing places other than your native place, which encourages people to travel to other areas.

Question 5:- Should they find information about the place before going there?

Actually, yes, anyone who intends to visit somewhere should get more information about that place before going there, such as knowing the weather, as it is essential, as it will help you in carrying heavy clothes if the weather is cold or taking soft clothes if the weather is hot.
