- Excuse me, could you tell me how can I find this address?
- Let me have a look… Yes, of course, I know this house.
- Oh, I have luck! I can't find it for two hours.
-Aren’t you a native dweller? Have you come here recently?
-Yes, I’ve come on a mission and I really have to carry out a personal charge.
-This house is not far from mine, that’s why it’s familiar to me. You need take bus number 201.
-Will it take a lot of time to get there?
-No, only four stops. You will get off at “Park Avenu” stop.
-And where shall I do then?
-You will be in front of the crossroad. Go straight along the main road for another two blocks and then turn to the right.
-Shall I cross the road?’
- No. Keep always the right side. Next you will see a large store. This is a supermarket. By the way, if you need to buy something, you can surely go there. This is the best shop in that area.
- Thanks for advice. I will сertainly do it.
-So, passing by the store, you will see a two-storey grey building. This is the house you need. If I'm not mistaken, the entrance is directly opposite the store.
- Thanks a lot! Now I will surely find the address I need!
-Not at all. Can I help you with anything else?
- Yeah, if you can, just tell me where the nearest pharmacy is.
-Are you unwell? Shall I call an ambulance?
- No, thank you, you are so kind. I was a little cold yesterday and today I feel sick. I want to buy some pills for the cold.
-Of course, there's a very good pharmacy not far from here. You will find there everything you need. Just turn left the corner and go for one block. The pharmacy can’t be missed. It’s a small colorful building with a beautiful sign on it.
- Thank you a lot for the help. Good bye.
- Good bye. Good luck.
