Teacher: London is one of the biggest cities in the world. And it is very difficult to find the right way to somewhere in London. But if you know the speech patterns from the topic “Asking the way”, you will have no problems.

Now I am going to practice role play. In role play you'll take the part of different characters, for example: sir, madam, officer, miss, girl, boy.

Before we start our role play, I'd like to tell you the situation.

The situation is: You are in London. You want to get to some place. You feel you are losing your way. You address to a passer-by.

Assignment: Make up dialogues, using the model given below.

Choose what you would like to see in London and act out a dialogue with your classmate. (The Houses of Parliament, the British Museum, the Tate Gallery, Trafalgar Square, Buckingham Palace, Tower Bridge, Westminster Abbey, St. Paul's Cathedral.)

– Excuse me, sir (madam), officer, miss (девушка), girl, boy.
– Yes, what is it?
– Can you tell me the way to Liverpool Station?
Could you, please, tell me the way to the port?
Could you, please, show me the way to the centre?
Which is the right way to London Bridge?
Which is the shortest way to the railway station?
Which is the quickest way to Oxford Street?

– Let me think... Oh, yes.
– Take number 28 bus. It will take you right there.
Take number 45 bus. Then change for route 17 bus.
Take this tram and go 3 stops. Then take a trolley-bus.

Go straight three blocks and then turn to the right.
Go along this street as far as the monument and turn to the left.
Go along this street as far as the traffic lights, then take the street on your right.

It will be better for you to go there on foot.
It'll be quickest for you to get there by route 6 bus.
It's more convenient to go there by the underground.

– Is it far from here?
Is it very far?
Is the station far?

– Oh, yes! No!

– How long will it take me to get to the station?
– It will take you an hour (half an hour, a quarter of an hour, 20 minutes) to get there.

Excuse my curiosity...
Is it your first visit to London?
– Yes, it is.
– What do you think of London?
– It's a wonderful (a very impressive, beautiful, interesting) city
– I'm glad you like it. London is my native city.
– Oh, thank you.
Thanks a lot.
Thank you for being so kind.
Thank you for your help.

Have a good time.
