Guest: Good morning.
Receptionist: Hello there. How can I help you
Guest: Well, it's my first visit to this town. What would you suggest I see
Receptionist: I'd suggest starting with the History Museum. It has some great displays of ancient objects found in the local area.
Guest: That sounds good. Where is it
Role-play the conversation, pay attention to key information.
Receptionist: Here's a map of the town. This is the hotel. Head across the square to the town hall. Walk around the town hall, and you'll see the History Museum behind it, right between the theatre and the sports centre.
Guest: When does it open
Receptionist: It opens at half past nine in the morning.
Guest: Great! And could you recommend anywhere to eat
Receptionist: Oh yes, there are lots of good restaurants in the town center. You could go to this one here. It's called Paul's Restaurant and it serves delicious fish and chips. It's on East Road, next to the post office.
Guest: That's perfect because I'd like to send some postcards, too.
Receptionist: Is there anything else I can help you with
Guest: Actually, I'm here for four days. Are there any events happening in town or nearby
Receptionist: Well, you've arrived just in time for the boat race between Oxford and Cambridge universities. It starts tomorrow afternoon and takes place on the River Thames in West London.
Guest: That sounds great. How will I know which team is which
Receptionist: Oh, that's easy –Oxford always wears dark blue and Cambridge light blue.
Guest: OK. How can I get there
Receptionist: The train station is near the hotel, at the end of Rose Road. After you get to London, I'd recommend taking the tube to Putney Bridge and watching the race from there. Make sure to get there early so that you get a good view!
Guest: Thank you so much. You're very helpful.
Receptionist: Enjoy your stay. Bye!

When you visit a place for the first time, a map is a great help for getting to know the place better. An online map on your mobile phone is convenient. But if you don’t have Internet connection when you travel, a paper map is still an option. You should be able to find one in your hotel or at the local tourist information centre. Whenever someone gives you directions, mark your destination and draw an arrow to show the route.
Compose a new dialogue with the help of the topic and practical expressions provided in the text.
Draw your own map and have a similar conversation.
