New-comer: Thank you very much. Is it possible to get there by tram
or trolley-bus? I haven’t seen anything of St. Petersburg
yet and I’ve heard so much about this beautiful city!
Passer-by: You can get on a No. 1 trolley-bus. It will take you as far
as Palace Square where you may get off. When you
have admired the wonderful view around you, take a
No. 10 bus.
New-comer: Where must I get off for the Druzhba hotel?
Passer-by: In Popov Street, but you’d better ask the conductor
to put you down or you may miss your stop.
New-comer: I am very much obliged to you.
Passer-by: That’s all right.
II
N: Am I going the right way to the No. 1 trolley-bus stop?
A: You are quite out of your way. Go straight on as far as the
first turning to the right, then cross the street and you’ll see
the stop. You cannot lose your way. It is just a two-minute
walk from here. I am going that way myself. Come with me
if you like.
N: Thank you. It’s very kind of you.
