Here are three of the most common questions to ask for directions at a B1 level:
"Excuse me, how do I get to the ___?"
Example: "Excuse me, how do I get to the train station?"
"Can you tell me where the ___ is?
Example: "Can you tell me where the nearest pharmacy is?"
"Is it far from here?"
Useful for checking distance after getting directions.

Here's a more natural and fluent question for asking directions at a B2 level:
"Would you mind pointing me in the direction of the ___?"
Example: "Would you mind pointing me in the direction of the city library?"
This version is polite and slightly more formal, suitable for situations where you're speaking to strangers in unfamiliar places. It also reflects B2-level competence in tone and structure.
Ask your classmates 5 different directions :)
Create a poem like this:
"My sofa is soft, but my phone is hard. I can sit on my sofa, whereas I type on my phone. My sofa doesn't have apps, and my phone doesn't have cushions..."
Make it as fun and creative as possible. Make a picture about it.
Match the sentences to the corresponding pictures.
