    Welcome to Heze. I'm so glad that I can tell you something about Heze. Heze in the southwest of Shandong Province. As far as we know, it's famous for peony, the flower of China. Xuanle Park, the amusement park in our city, lies in the north of Heze. You'll find that there are Water World, big ferris wheel (摩天轮) , house and so on. They are all interesting, but I think the roller coaster (过山车) makes people and excited.

    The in Caozhou Peony Park are the most fascinating. Unluckily, it's not the right season. But there an animal show next month. It is for you to get to Tianxiang Park. You can go there by bus at any time and the park is free. Besides, I heard that there would be an interesting talent show at Inzone Shopping Mall next week. I wonder you'd like to go there. I where you want to go first. I am sure that you will have a great time in Heze.

Finding a New Place

    Max is new in town. His family just moved into a new apartment. Max would like to meet some people. Max asked the landlord (房东) where he might go to meet people of his own age.

    "The Community Center is for people of your age. I am sure you could find some friends there," said the landlord. "Is the Community Center far from here?" Max asked. "No. It's only a few blocks away. It's about a ten-minute walk from here," replied the landlord. "Give me a minute. I'll write down the directions."

    Max smiled. He hoped that he would make some friends at the Community Center.

The landlord gave Max a note. Max read the words on the note.

    Max's smile disappeared. He would never be able to find the Community Center because he didn't know how to follow directions that used words like north and west.

    Max needed to get a map of his neighborhood. This map could help him find directions. He took the directions and the map from his landlord. He was sure he could find the Community Center.

    The landlord told Max that the front door of his building faces west. When he came out of his building, he walked west on Main Street until he came to the park. Taylor Street was right next to the park. He looked at his direction note. It said, "Then, walk north on Taylor Street for one block."

    Max looked at the map. He could tell that if he was facing west, north would be on his right. He turned to the right on Taylor Street. He walked for one block. He could see a big building with a sign. It said "Community Center". He found it!

—Sure. She lives in Main Street.
