Man & Woman

W = Woman M = Man
Woman

Excuse me, can you help me, please? I think I’m lost.

Man

Sure. Where do you need to go?

Woman

I need to get to the City Art Museum. I’m staying at the Blue Star Hotel, and I walked for ten minutes, but now I’m not sure.

Man

No problem. You’re quite close. Are you walking or taking a bus?

Woman

I prefer walking if it’s not too far.

Man

It’s about fifteen minutes on foot. First, go straight along this street.

Woman

Okay, straight.

Man

Yes. Walk past the supermarket on your left and the small bakery on your right.

Woman

Supermarket left, bakery right.

Man

Right. After that, you will see traffic lights. At the traffic lights, turn left.

Woman

Turn left at the traffic lights. Got it.

Man

Then walk straight for about five minutes. You’ll pass a park.

Woman

Is the park on the left or the right?

Man

The park will be on your right. Keep walking until you come to a big roundabout.

Woman

A roundabout… okay.

Man

At the roundabout, take the second exit. That means you go almost straight.

Woman

Second exit, almost straight.

Man

Exactly. After you take the second exit, you’ll see a long street with cafés.

Woman

That sounds nice.

Man

Yes, it’s a busy area. Walk for two more minutes and look for a tall grey building with a glass entrance. That’s the museum.

Woman

Great! Is it across from something?

Man

Yes, it’s across from a bookshop called “Green Pages.” You can’t miss it.

Woman

Perfect. Let me check: straight, left at the traffic lights, past the park, second exit at the roundabout, and then the museum across from the bookshop.

Man

That’s right. If you want, you can also take bus number 12 from the hotel, but walking is easier today.

Woman

Thank you so much. You explained it very clearly.

Man

You’re welcome. Enjoy the museum!

Woman

Thanks! Have a nice day.

Man

You too.
