B: Well, if you’re interested in churches and historical places, you should go to

Westminster Abbey, the Houses of Parliament, and St. Paul’s Cathedral. Do you

like art galleries?

A: Rather.

B: Then why not to go to the National Gallery and the Tate?

Hotel receptionist: Hello, sir. Can I help you?

Visitor: Hello, I’d like to have some information about nice places around here

because I am going to spend the day in the city and I don’t know exactly where I

could go.

Hotel receptionist: Well, you may take a guided tour in a double-decker round

London. The bus comes every half an hour from Trafalgar Square. Why not visit the

Tower of London, Kew Gardens…then have a welcome rest from sightseeing in one of London’s pubs and have a wonderful evening in Royal Opera House.

Visitor: O.K. How can I get there?

Hotel receptionist: Very easy. If you leave the hotel and make a left turn you’ll see a

bus stop round the corner. Take a bus and on the way you have to change buses.

Visitor: Oh, no. I might get lost if I have to change. Is there any other way I can get

there?

Hotel receptionist: Actually, the underground. Have you got a schematic map?

Visitor: Not yet. I’ve just arrived. I might hire a taxi.

Hotel receptionist: A taxi stand is outside the main hotel doors, over there on the left.

B: If you walk, it’ll take you ten minutes or a quarter of an hour.

A: Is there a bus?
