Tourist: Excuse me, can you help me? I am looking for the museum.

Local: Of course! Go straight ahead along this street. Then turn left at the traffic lights. Walk past the bank and you will see a bridge. Go across the bridge and turn right. The museum is on your left, next to the library.

Tourist: Thank you. And how do I get to the train station from the museum?

Local: From the museum, walk along the main road. Go past the cinema and the post office. Turn left at the roundabout. Go down the hill and through the tunnel. The train station is at the end of the road, opposite the supermarket.

Tourist: Is it far?

Local: No, it is about a ten-minute walk. If you get lost, just follow the signs for the city centre. The museum is towards the north of the city, and the station is in the centre.

Tourist: Thank you very much for your help.

Local: You are welcome. Have a nice day!
