  三、 Asking for Directions问路

  People are usually helpful when you ask for directions. You should try to have the exact address and be as specific as possible. Telephone directories are the most common source of addresses. Remember that many cities and some towns are built in “blocks”. People will often tell you, for example, “to go two blocks and turn right”.

  1. A: Excuse me, can you tell me where the nearest hospital is?

  B: Turn left at the second light and then go straight for two blocks.

  A: Is it far?

  B: No. It's only a five-minute walk.

  A: Thanks a lot.

  B: You're welcome.

  2. A: Excuse me. Could you please tell me how to get to the station?

  B: Turn left at the first light. You can't miss it.

  A: Will it take me long to get there?

  B: No. It's not far at all.

  A: Thank you.

  B: Don't mention it.

  3. A: Can you help me out? I'm trying to find a post office.

  B: Go three blocks and make a right turn. It's right there.

  A: Should I take the bus?

  B: No. It'll only take about five minutes to walk there.

  A: Thank you very much.

  B: Any time.

  四、 On a Bus 在公共汽车上

  In cities, buses have letters or numbers indicating their routes. Usually the exact fare is required because you can't get change on a bus. It is an inexpensive, scenic way to travel. Special tickets for unlimited travel are sometimes offered by the larger bus companies.

  1. A: Does this bus go to the train station?

  B: No. You'll have to take off at the bank and take the A52.

  A: How long is the ride?

  B: About ten minutes.

  2. A: Is this the bus for No. 1 Middle School?

  B: No. It only goes as far as the center bank, but you can take the No. 31 there.

  A: How long does it take to get there?

  B: It only takes a few minutes.

  3. A: Does this bus go to the beach?

  B: No. You're going the wrong way. You want the No. 11. It stops in front of the post office.

  A: About how long does it take?

  B: Only fifteen minutes.
