Showing the way

Excuse me, I’m lost. Could you tell me the way to the hotel

''Four Seasons”?

The ''Four Seasons”? It’s rather far from here. You can go there

by bus or by taxi.

I’d like to walk. How long does it take to get there?

That depends. If you walk, it’ll take you about an hour and a half.

Oh, it’s a long way. I’ll better take a bus. Where is the nearest

bus stop?

The bus stop is over there, across the street.

Sorry, I didn’t understand where?

O.K. Go along the street to the traffic lights. Cross the street and

turn to the left, then to the right. You’ll see the bus stop there.

Which bus will take me there?

Any bus will take you there, but I think it’s better to get on the 8.

Thanks a lot.

Not at all.

ASKING THE WAY

Sorry to trouble you, sir.

Yes? What can I do for you?

I am looking for the Russian Embassy. Am I on the right road to it?

I am afraid not. Unfortunately you are lost. The Russian Embassy

is in the opposite direction.

Really? Where is it? How can I get there?

Don’t worry about it! Go back as far as the crossing and get on

bus 7. Without changing it will take you to the Russian Embassy. Thank you. How long will it take me?

I think about an hour and a quarter.

Oh, sir, I’m in a hurry. Is there an underground station near here?

Well, let me see. Go straight ahead past the post office until you

come to the nearest underground station.

Thank you for your help.

That’s right.

Dialogue III

AT THE BUS STOP

Excuse me, sir. Do you happen to know how to get to the centre of

the town?

It’s not a walking distance. You can go there by bus. Get on bus 7.

You don’t need that. The 7 will take you right there. Get off at the last stop, but one.

How far is the nearest bus stop?

It’s only two blocks away from here.

Which is the best way to the bus stop?

Turn around the corner and go down the street. Cross the street at

the traffic lights, then go up the street until you see the bus stop. What’s the fare?

80 pence, I think.

I got it. Thank you very much.
