Woman: Really? This always happens to me. Directions just aren’t my thing, I suppose.

Man: I think the best thing is to take a bus. It’ll take ages6 if you walk from here.

Woman: That’s a shame… I wanted to walk around and get a feel for the city7.

Man: I wouldn’t worry there’s nothing to see around here, anyway. Take the bus into the center and
walk around there it’s much more interesting.

Woman: Oh, okay. Where can I take the bus?

Man: It’s about five minutes’ walk from here. You see that hotel, on the corner, there?

Woman: The one that says “Royal hotel?”

Man: That’s right. Go down that street to the end, then turn rigth. Take the first left and go on until
you see a junction with traffic lights. Go over the junction, keep going straigtht, and you’ll see a bus
stop on your left.

Woman: Go to the end, first left, turn right at the traffic lights…

Man:No,no. Go straight on, past the traffic lights.

Woman: Oh! Yes, and then…
