Finding the Way

• Oh, hello, Brian. Pleased to meet you. Did you have a good day today?

• Not bad, but I’ve got lost this morning.

• How?

• Well, I got up, had breakfast and went to the tube station as usual, but the station was closed, so I decided to take a taxi. I waited and waited and as there so there were no taxis around I started to walk but got lost …

• Oh, no. What did you do?

• Well, I tried to ask the way but everyone I met was a foreigner. It was terrible.

• Nobody understood me.

• So what happened?

• I walked round and suddenly I saw a sign for the Haymarket. The school is not far from there so I followed the sign and arrived just over an hour later.

• What a pity.

• How did Brian lose his way?

Taking a Bus

• Does bus 4 go to the railway station?

• You’d better take bus 51 from the University.

• Can you tell me where to get off?

• Yes, it’s quite away, yet, but I’ll tell you in good time.

• Is bus 4 going the wrong way?

• No, but it’s on the half way from the railway station and you’ll have either to walk or to change the bus at the History Museum.

• How much further is the railway station?

• I suppose it’s in ten minutes’ walk. It’s two stops after the History Museum.

• Why did the stranger ask about the route of bus 4?

On a Bus

The Conductor: Full up, sorry.

Jane: Oh, bother, and I’m late as it is.

A messenger boy: Cheer up, miss, the next one’s just round the corner.

Jane: Good, I hope it takes us.

The Conductor: Full up inside, five seats on top.

The messenger boy: You see, miss, hop in.

The Conductor: Hold tight. All fares, please. (At the next stop.)

The Conductor: Standing room only … no more, sorry. Any more fares, please!

A gentleman (giving the conductor a shilling): An eight-penny ticket, please.

The Conductor (giving him the ticket and the change): Here you are, Sir. Four-pence change, thank you.

The gentleman: Thank you.

In the Underground

• Excuse me, which line do I take for Holborn, please?

• Take the Bakerloo to Oxford Circus and change to the Central.

• Where do I go now? I’m a stranger here and I’m afraid to lose my way.

• Oh, yes. The London Underground system is very complicated. There are ten lines here and it’s very easy to get lost. But if you follow the direction signs you can’t go wrong. Go straight down the stairs and get the lift over there.

• Thank you very much, indeed.

• Why is it easy to get lost in London underground?
