PART 1
MAPS
ANSWERS
When was the first time you used a map?
(Answer 1)
As far as I remember (to the extent that I’m able to remember), I was a Grade 4 student when I knew how to use a map. Our teacher taught us to read a paper map, although electronic maps were available then. She just wanted us to learn the conventional way. Well, learning how to read a physical map during that time wasn’t rocket science (it’s not difficult).
(Answer 2)
That was when I was a grader. I learned how to use it in our social studies class when our teacher required us to bring a paper map because she would teach us how to read it. I remember I brought two types of maps – one was a world map and the other one was a map of our city. Actually, that was fun learning maps.
Are you good at reading maps?
(Answer 1)
Yes, I am very good at it. Well, I think everyone can read maps, especially since we’re so advanced these days. We can use electronic maps or navigation maps in a car. Or we can use some map apps like Google Maps, Apple Maps, and more whenever we need them.
(Answer 2)
I can read maps but I’m not very good at it. To be honest with you, I have a lousy sense of direction (very bad ability to find places or to know which direction to go) and because of that, I don’t travel by myself. I make sure that I have someone to travel with so I can rely on them in terms of exploring places.
Do you prefer electronic maps or paper maps?
(Answer 1)
Without a doubt (definitely; undoubtedly), electronic maps. They’re user-friendly and they’re 99% accurate. Besides, they’re very accessible as long as there’s an internet connection. Honestly, I haven’t used paper maps since the availability of electronic maps.
(Answer 2)
Of course, electronic maps since they’re readily available. I can just use them anywhere and any time of the day as long as I’m connected to the internet. But from time to time (occasionally), I use paper maps, especially when visiting a tourist spot because paper maps are normally distributed to tourists.
How often do you use a map?
(Answer 1)
Well, I suppose once or twice a month. I use navigation maps when I’m driving to a place that is unfamiliar as that’s the only way I can find the place where I have to visit. Thanks to (because of) electronic maps driving to unfamiliar places is not as confusing and scary as it was.
(Answer 2)
I dunno I think many times a year…I mean when I visit a tourist site, I use a paper map so I can easily find those places that I have to visit. Or, when I need to find a hotel or the nearest restaurants, I have to check Google Maps. But like I said earlier, I’m not good at reading maps, so I rely on my friends or family when finding the places that we have to go to.
