Giving Directions in English
I'm trying to write some directions in English based on some pictures I have. Could you check them, please?
Where is the souvenir store?
-Walk straight up. Turn left at the crossroads. It's on the left across from the department store.
Where is the police station?
-Walk straight up to the intersection. Turn left at the intersection. It's on the left across from the bookstore.
Where is the shoe store?
-Walk up to the stoplight. Turn left at the stop light. It's on the right across from the supermarket.

Hi Annette,
I agree with Karl. Great sentences! My one suggestion would be to delete the word "up" from all of them. At least in American English, we don't say "walk straight up" when giving directions. We would simply say "walk straight" or "go straight".

walk up to = approach something or someone, as in be in front of, purposefully.
Walk right up to him and TELL him how you feel.
Walk straight up to him, now and .. even more emphatic.
.
Walk to = walk as far as, not special reference to the thing that is there.
.
So for British English, walk straight up to .. is fine, but not necessary, as walk stright to will also do.
