“GOING DOWNTOWN”

One of the Government programs offers seniors the opportunity to participate in

different activities. Today, a group of them, are visiting places downtown.

Let’s follow the group:

At the moment they are visiting the big church opposite the square. They are
observing and commenting on the old and beautiful pictures there.

Then they are crossing the square to go to the Post Office. This is a large building.
Some of the ladies are buying postcards but two of them are not in the post office.
They are sitting in a café next to the corner, they are drinking a cup of tea and
talking.

Next the ladies are walking along the street to get to the Museum. One of the
ladies is looking for a pharmacy.

Fortunately, there is a policewoman near and the lady asks: “Excuse me, is there
a pharmacy near here?”

The policewoman says: ”There is one between the enormous department store
and a video club.”

Finally, the group of seniors are getting on the bus back to their houses. The tour is
over!
