2. These are similar requests for directions.
request v./n. 意为“要求，请求”
常见短语：
(1) request sth. from sb. 意为“（向某人）请求某物/某事”
(2) request sb.to do sth. 意为“请求某人做某事”
(3) request + that 从句（从句用虚拟语气：should + 动词原形，should
可以省略）
e.g. The man requested some hot water from me.
3. Both are correct, but the first one sounds less polite.
(1) less 后面加上多音节形容词是比较级，与more的意思相反。
有时可以和“not as/so+ adj./adv.+ as”进行互换。
less polite 意为“不如……礼貌”。
e.g. That city is less fascinating than ours.
=That city is not as/so fascinating than ours.
(2) sound 是系动词，意为“听起来……”。
e.g. Don’t think that English is less important now.
