And don't be afraid to tell them if you can't find a certain VRP, reporting point, or whatever. Just explain in normal English, something like, "Not familiar with area, where is XXXX?" Similarly, if you can't understand what they want you to do, say so. It's not a hanging offence, and will get you some help.
In the past, I've had detailed instructions all round Derby's circuit, which is grass and every time I turned I lost the airfield, and jumped a queue into a fairly large airport, as the controller obviously decided it would be better to get me on the ground sooner rather than later! I'm not saying this is recommended, but it happens to us all - there's no shame in being a student pilot and not knowing everything yet.
But why isn't your instructor telling you all this?
