To find an ideal dermatologist to visit on a regular basis is quite a task, but when you do find him/ her, stick to the same. It is best to have only one skin specialist to visit frequently in time of outbursts or allergies, as he/ she can understand, monitor and give you the required medication.

Hypothetical situation:

Taking into consideration, a hypothetical situation, you have your family dermatologist sorted that you visit as and when the need arises. A friend of yours is still shuffling between skin specialists to zero down on one doctor for a while. This friend calls you to ask you about your skin doctor and how good he is with his medications, prescriptions, and dosages. She is down with an allergy and needs to visit a doctor on an urgent basis. On your recommendation, she decides to go ahead with your dermatologist and asks for the directions to the clinic.



How would the conversation be in well- spoken English? Let's have a look:

Riya: Hello.

Nikita: Hey Riya. How are you?

Riya: I am not very fine, Nikki.

Nikita: What's wrong? Should I come over?

Riya: No. Don't come home. I have caught an allergy and I'm not too sure if you can catch it too.

Nikita: Allergy? What sort of an allergy? Did you eat something? Touch something?

Riya: No Nikki. Relax. I haven't yet figured out how I got this.

Nikita: Are there any lumps or redness and itchiness?

Riya: Lumps. Tiny red lumps are there on  my face, neck and hands. I hope it's not the lotion I applied this morning.

Nikita: I have told you so many times to check the expiry date on the cosmetic products you use. You never listen, act carelessly and develop all these infections.

Riya: Lecture me later, for now tell me if your doctor is reliable enough  for an allergy as this.

Nikita: Yes, of course! I have been visiting him since my teenage years. He gives the perfect medicine, creams and ointments to clear your skin off all the blemishes. Isn't too expensive either.



Riya: Sounds good to me, how do I get to his clinic, can you direct me there?

Nikita: Listen carefully; Get to sector- 29, near the Blue Sky hotel.

Riya: Blue Sky?

Nikita: The huge 5 star near the signal...

Riya: Oh! Yes... Blue Star. Then?

Nikita: From that signal, take a right.

Riya: Okay.

Nikita: Once you've taken the right, take the first left and keep going down the same road.

Riya: Done.

Nikita: Soon you'll reach a dead end; the building on the right is where his clinic is.

Riya: Okay. What's his name?

Nikita: His name is Dr. Shenoy and he sits on the fifth floor of the building.

Riya: Thank you. I will see you soon after my treatment.

Nikita: Sure. Take care, Bye.

Having a conversation with a friend should be relaxed and at ease, even if it is in the English language. Since they are your friends, it shouldn't be a big deal if you make a mistake or two while conversing. You can gain confidence and improve English speaking skills by practicing with your near and dear ones. Mastering the language and developing your English communication skills can also become more fun if you have someone for company to practice with.

Heading to a restaurant to catch up with some good friend over a nice dinner is always welcome. Isn't it? So much to talk about... So many dishes to try out. It's like the perfect setting creating a perfect moment. But not always do your friends know of the places you choose to meet up at, especially if it's just a small, modest, quiet place. This gets you in a fix as you have to play the navigator for your friend to help him/her find his/ her way to the spot.

Choose your words:

Now what? Navigating someone to get to a place you're located at isn't very easy. Every move made by the person is dependent on your choice of words and sense of directions. For which, you are needed to be precise and expressive. The choice of words play a vital role and are essential and hence show your communication skills.

Let's have a look at an example:

 

George: Hey Neena, Where are you?

Neena: Hey George, I am in sector- 17, just where you told me to stop my car.

George: Okay, can you see a circle ahead of you?

Neena: Not really. Direct me to the circle as I speak to you.

George: Approximately three minutes from where you are presently located, just hit the accelerator and head straight down the same road.

Neena: Okay. I'm already at it. Oh! There it is. The circle you spoke about.

George: Take a right from the circle and then take the second left.

Neena: Haha! This is fun. Okay so... A right and the second left.

George: Yes.

Neena: At the left, now where?

George: Enter the road and on the right you will see this brown board that reads 'Hawaiin Shack".

Neena: Okay, oh... Here I am, at the Hawaiin Shack.



See, in just a few lines and well- spoken English, you have managed to get your friend (who was clueless) to a place in the intricate lanes of the route. This isn't difficult but could go all wrong if not done the right way.

Conclusion:

Make use of small, crisp sentences, ensure your English grammar is right, make use of daily English and there you have it, a perfect evening with your dear friend, at your ideal location.
