Sorry, excuse me…
Hi.- I don't suppose you could possibly tell me how to get to the British Museum, could you?
- I can't seem to find it.
- I'd be happy to, no problem.
- Do you have a map?
- Yes, here.
- Okay…
- So you're here at the moment.
- Right, I see.
- If you continue down this road for five minutes, you'll come to a large block of flats on your right.
- Go past there, and take the first left.
- Okay…
- Cross over to the pavement on the other side and you'll see a pub called the Blue Anchor.
- Turn left and continue down that street for 200 or 300 metres.
- You should see the museum in front of you.
- That's terrific, thanks very much.
- You're welcome.
