X. Read, translate and dramatize the dialogues:

- Excuse me, could you tell me the way to the Houses of Parliament?

- Go two blocks down Victoria Street, turn to the left, and then go
straight ahead. You'd better take a bus. It's a pretty good way.

- Thank you very much. Is there a bus stop around here?

- Sure. There it is, on the other side of the street.

- (In the bus) - Conductor, am I right for the Houses of Parliament?

- Yes, madam [mæm].

- Will you put me down at the stop? I am a stranger here.

- Certainly, madam.

-

- Going to See Sights

- Have you been to London before?

- No, it's my first time here.

- Have you seen much of the city?

- So far, very little. Could you tell me what the most interesting places to visit are?

- If you are interested in historical buildings and monuments, I would advise you to see the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, St. Paul's Cathedral, Nelson's Column in Trafalgar Square, the Tower, the British Museum and, perhaps, Hyde Park. What would you like to see first?

- It makes no difference. Is it possible to arrange a bus tour with a guide?

- I hope so.
