Sometimes you need information.
You can ask people around you for help.
Use a "Where can I...?" question.
You can ask someone,
"Where can I find a restroom?"
Then they can tell you or show you the way.
You can also ask friends for help.
You can ask, "Where can I find a bakery with good bread, muffins and cookies?"
Your friend understands and can answer with some advice.

bakery就是面包店或烘焙坊
advice就是建议忠告它是不可数名词不可以加s哦
restroom就是洗手间厕所

Hi, Susie!
Where can I find a good bakery?
Hmm...What do you want?
I want chocolate muffins.
Many bakeries have chocolate muffins.
Yes. But I want really good chocolate muffins.
Ha. I understand.
I have an answer.
What is it?
The B Street Bakery.
It’s not far from here.
They have really good chocolate muffins.
That’s good advice thanks!
Their muffins are really good and not expensive.
Perfect. It’s my friends birthday, and she loves chocolate muffins.
B Street Bakery is a great place for all kinds of muffins.
Great. One more question.
Where can I find a restroom?
There’s a restroom over that way.
In that big store.
Thanks, Susie!
You’re welcome.

A bakery is one kind of store you can buy things that are baked.
So that’s things like bread or other sweet treats like donuts and cakes.
A muffin is like a cupcake but sometimes it’s not as sweet.
Sometimes muffins come in a cup and people often eat muffins for breakfast.
Muffins are thinner at the bottom and wider at the top.

Advice is like helpful information that someone gives you.

The action is called advise with a s.
And what they give you the helpful information or the tips are called advice with a c.

首先来看
not expensive是强调价格合理可以接受

Here way means the direction or the path, which way you should walk or which direction you should walk.

I don’t understand this homework.

Hotels with good restaurants are fun because you don’t have to go or travel to another place.
You can stay there and eat some good food.

偏语动词look up后面可以接名词作受词用

第一种定义是查询

我用了手机查询地址
第二种定义是拜访

Sometimes it’s fun to be adventurous to go to a place without knowing any information.
But that way you might get lost.
