First you have to walk up the street and then you have to go to the street in your right side.
Then you will see a square, so you need to walk up the principal street and turn around in the second left street.
P.S: I think that is everything wrong, here, But I have no idea in how do it. hehe !! Sorry people !!

It's ok Grazielle....good effort!
I'll try to guess what you are trying to say. We usually state the direction to go in and then say turn right or left at the street's name. Ex: "Go straight down São Paulo Ave. until you see Amazon St. and take a left. Go two blocks until you see Brasilia Ave. and take a right. My house is the third one on the left."
If you don't know the name of the streets, you can use landmarks, ex:
"Go up the hill until you see a church on your right, then turn left and go two blocks. You will see a big market there. Turn right and my house is on the left and it's green with a big tree in the front."
Hey,
It's better if you tell it by the name of the street, or landmarks, or blocks. For example:
Go north/south/etc on A street, then turn right. When you see a square, you would need to go towards the main street and turn left on the second block.
Hope this helps
First you have to walk up ANDERSON AVENUE and then you have to TURN RIGHT ON SMITH STREET. Then you will see a square, so you need to walk up the MAIN street and turn around in LAVAL AVENUE, the second ON THE left.
Good effort Grazi..
At first, (Firstly), you have to walk along the street (name of street) and then turn right. You can see a square and walk on the main street and turn again at the second corner left.
Hello Grazielle, giving directions is difficult, but only at first. After you do it a couple of times it gets easier. I can change your paragraph and without talking to you these directions will be my directions. (eu so posso adivinhar)
Continue walking up the street and turn to the right at the first corner. Down the street you will see a square, walk to the far side of the square and you will come to Main Street, turn to the left. Go straight and at the 4th corner turn right, my business is the light green building on the left.
When giving directions, stripe out all the addressing of your audience. i.e.:
(you have to walk ► walk)
(then you have to go to ► then go to)
In grammarian speaks, directions are written in imperative forms. Resorting to convention narrative sentences will hamper clarity and legibility.
Think of it as bullet points rather than paragraphs, or "barking" out commands, and that's the style. The subjects in all those sentences are implicit...
►Come here. ►Sit next to me. ►Drink this coffee. Taste the cake. ►wipe off the crumb. Place remainder in fridge.
BTW, in the US, we say "Main street" instead of "principal" street, but that's a country/region-specific thing.
Ooops! Stripe
That's one of my favorite mistakes. "Strip" means remove here. A stripe is a narrow band, a shape.
muito bom
You did OK but it did need a little work. I agree with Ozmund's comments.
