Ex.13. Read and learn the dialogue:

- How do you get to the supermarket, Mrs. Green? Do you walk or take a bus?

- I never take a bus. The supermarket is within a walking distance from my house. I go down the steps of my house, cross the road, turn round the corner, go along the street past the bookstore, and there I am outside the supermarket. Then I go inside and do my shopping. How about you, Tom? How do you get to your office?

- I always take a bus. I get off the bus, walk away from the bus stop and cross the street towards a shop, go past the library, turn round the corner, and there I am outside the office building.

- Oh, I see.

IN THE MORNING

Rick is an art student. He studies at the university. He goes to the university on weekdays and stays at home at the weekends.

The first period at the university begins at eight forty-five. He must get up at seven o'clock to be in time for the university classes. An alarm-clock wakes him up. His alarm clock always keeps good time because Rick never forgets to wind it up.

Rick does morning exercises every morning because he wants to be strong and healthy. After morning exercises Rick takes a shower and gets dressed. Then he has breakfast. Rick lives within a walking distance from the university. He leaves the house at eight a.m. It takes him twenty minutes to get to the university. He prefers to walk, but if he is in a hurry he takes a bus. He is never late for classes.

His elder brother Tim wakes up at six a.m. He doesn't do morning exercises. He doesn't do morning exercises not because he is lazy, but because he has no time. He gets dressed, has a wash and quickly eats his breakfast. Tim must get up at six o'clock because his work begins early and he lives far. It takes him an hour to get to his work.

Tim is an engineer. He works at a chemical plant. Tim leaves the house and goes along the street to the bus stop. On the way to the bus stop he goes past a library and a supermarket. He turns round the corner from the supermarket and goes across the road towards the bus stop. He usually takes Bus Number Seventeen to go to his plant. Then he gets off at the “Chemical Plant” stop and walks away from the bus towards the plant. In a few minutes he is inside the building of the plant.
