Today’s CAN-DO
Could you tell us how to get from Sakurayama Park to the goal?
知らない人に道をたずねるときは、Could you tell me how to get to …? （～への行き方を教えていただけませんか？）とていねいな表現を使うようにしましょう。
After you run through Sakurayama Park, you’ll see a police box on your left.
道順を示すときのカギとなるのは、場所や方向を示す前置詞です。get from here to the nearest station（ここから最寄り駅に行く）や run through the park（公園を走って通り抜ける）のように動詞といっしょに覚えると、実際の会話で役に立ちます。
方向を表す前置詞はイメージで覚えておくことが大事です。
