A: Excuse me, can you tell me the way to London University, please?

B: I'm afraid I can't. I'm sorry. Ask the policeman over there. He will be able to tell you.

A: Where is the policeman? I can't see him.

B: Over there, on the other side of the road.

A: Oh, yes. I'll go and ask him. Thank you very much.

A: Could you tell me how to get to London University, please?

B: London University? Go to Oxford Circus and then take a bus. You can't get a

bus direct from here.

A: How do I get to Oxford Circus?

B: Go straight along this street till you get to the traffic lights, turn right at the light, keep straight on a little way, then take the second turning on your left and that brings to Oxford Circus. You can't miss it.

A: And what bus must I take when I get there?

B: The 73.

A: And what stop must I go to?

B: Goodge Street. Book to Goodge Street and ask the bus conductor to tell you when you get there.

A: One more thing, how long will it take me to get to the University?

B: About half an hour, I think.

A: I must hurry then. I mustn't be late, many thanks.

(Later at Oxford Circus)

A: Does the 73 bus stop here?

B: No, you are in the wrong queue.

A: Where does it stop, please?

B: It stops just round the corner.

A: Thank you.

B: There's a 73 coming now. If you hurry you'll catch it.

A: (to bus conductor) Does this bus go to Goodge Street?

B: Goodge Street? Yes, that's right.

A: Would you tell me when I get there, please?

A: Yes, I'll tell you. Jump on now. You are holding up the queue.
