Arrow-Puffin-2_Semester-2 EVS 221Directions are used to find where a place is, in relation to other places.We can give directions with the help of landmarks too. Landmarks are the important places in a locality or an area. They are places most people would know. They can be a hospital, bank, park, mall or cinema hall. Landmarks help us find a place easily. What are the landmarks in your locality?..........................................................................................When we want to know where big countries, cities or towns are, we use specific directions like east, west, north and south.The directions north, south, east and west tell us which way we are going so that we can find our way to places.The sun rises in the east. When we face the sun in the morning, we are looking at east, behind us is west, on the left is north and on the right is south.We can find our way by seeing a map. A map is a drawing of a place, a city or a country. The top of the map usually points to the north. At the bottom is south. To the right is east and to the left is west.?
