The different parts of a compass
Skim and answer
Today, we’re going to learn how to use a compass to read a map.
First, take out your map and lay it flat (平的) on a table or on the ground. Then, look at the compass and the needle will point north. Find the little symbol on the map that shows which way is north and line it up with the compass needle. Then, you can find your location and decide where to go. Let’s say you want to go to the park! You can hold the compass flat and point the direction of travel arrow towards the park on the map. Turn the compass housing until the orienting line are parallel (平行的) with the north-south lines on the map. Now you get your bearing number. Hold the compass and turn your body until the needle is in line with the orienting arrow. Now, you can start walking in the direction the travel arrow points! Keep looking at your compass to make sure you stay on course.
