4-1 Lesson 1-21-1
Good morning. How may I help you, sir? P
I'd like to see Mr. Grant. P
Did you schedule a meeting with Mr. Grant? P
Yes, I did. P
What is your name? P
Ken Wilbur. P
Oh, yes, Mr. Wilbur. Mr. Grant was looking for you awhile ago. Do you know where his office is? P
No, actually. This is my first time here. P
It's on the third floor to your right. You'll see a conference room on your left. P
Is Mr. Grant waiting for me in there? P
No. He wants to see you in his office. P
After making a right, you should walk straight ahead and turn at the corner. His office is the first door on the left. P
Hold on. This is sort of confusing. I take a right after I get off at the third floor. P
Then I keep going straight, turn at the corner, and his office is the first door to my left? P
Correct. There is a restroom across from his office if you get lost. P
4-2 Lesson 1-21-2
Good afternoon, sir. Can I help you? P
I'm here to see Mr. Bush. P
Did you schedule an appointment with him? P
Yes, I certainly did. P
Can I have your name please? P
I am Bill Watson. P
Ah, yes. Mr. Bush is expecting you. Do you know where to go? P
No, I don't. I've never been here before. P
You should turn right at the Fourth floor. There is a conference room to the left. P
Is Mr. Bush expecting me there? P
No. He's expecting you in his office. P
Wait. Let me get this straight. P
Yes. In case you get lost there is a laboratory across from his office. P
4-3 Lesson 1-21-3
Good evening, sir. Is there anything I can assist you with? P
I have a meeting with Mr. Washington. P
Do you have an appointment with Mr. Washington? P
Of course. P
And you are? P
My name is Joshua Brunette. P
Okay Mr. Bruntte. Mr. Washington is expecting you in his office. P
Do you know how to get to his office? P
No. It's my first time here. P
Once you get to the second floor make a right. There is a meeting room to the left. P
Does Mr. Washington want me to wait for him in there? P
No. When you see the conference room turn towards the corner and you will see the cafe on your left. P
Hang on. I'm really confused. I take the elevator to the second floor and make a right. P
Then I keep going, make a turn on the corner, and the first door on the left would be the office right? P
Yes. If you get lost there is a bathroom across from the room. P
4-4 Lesson 1-22-1
Excuse me. May I ask you something? P
Sure. What can I do for you? P
I'm looking for the Kimchi Center. P
This is Dong Dae Moon and that place is in Kang Buk. P
How can I get there? P
It's near Kang Buk station and from here to Chong -Ro is a 300 meter distance. P
Then I should go to the nearest bus station. P
It takes a lot of time if you take a bus. If you are in a hurry, catch a cab. P
That'll definitely save time. Thank you so much. P
No problem. P
4-5 Lesson 1-22-2
Excuse me, ma'am. Can you help me with something? P
Of course. What do you need? P
I need to find the Art Gallery. P
You are at Kang Buk and it is located in Eul Ji Ro. P
Do you know the route to the place? P
It’s located near Kang Buk Station. We are close to the Chong-Ro station which is 300 meters from here. P
Then I better head to the nearest subway station. P
It takes a lot of time to walk there. Take the bus up to Chong Gak and change routes. P
Ah ha! That would be a good idea. Thanks for the information. P
It was nothing. P
4-6 Lesson 1-22-3
Excuse me, miss. Can you please help me? P
Yes, of course. How can I help you? P
Is this downtown Seoul? I'm looking for the Korean Cultural Museum. P
It's in Boon Dang. P
Can you give me the directions? P
If you go about 250 meters you will see Chong Gak station. Take the subway from there and get off at Hye Hyun station. P
I’m in a hurry. I have to run to Chong Gak station and take the subway. P
It takes lots of times to get there. You need to take the bus. P
Really? I should do that. Thanks! P
It was my pleasure. P
4-7 Lesson 1-23-1
Excuse me. Can you tell me how to get to Grand Central Terminal? P
Yeah. Just take bus number 46. Unfortunately, it just left. P
Okay then. When will the next bus be here? P
The bus operates on a schedule of every 30 minutes. P
Oh no! I've got no time to lose. My departure is at 3:15. Isn't there a subway station that can take me there? P
The nearest subway station is under construction. P
What should I do? I need to get to the station immediately! P
There is another bus stop down the road. But it already left so you'll need to wait about 20 minutes. P
I only have 30 minutes to catch the train and the bus wouldn't help me at all. P
If you're in a real hurry you can take a taxi. There isn't any traffic on the street. I think you can make it before the train departure. P
Really? Then I'd better catch a taxi. Thank you so much! P
It was nothing. P
4-8 Lesson 1-23-2
Excuse me, mister. How can I get to Union Subway Station? P
You should take bus 34 but it just left awhile ago. P
Then how long do I need to wait for the next one? P
It comes every 15 minutes. P
Dang! I don't have much time. I need to get to my train by 4 o' clock. Is there any other method of transportation? P
You can't take the metro because they are having a strike. P
What am I going to do? I can't miss the train! P
The next stop is across the street. It already took off. P
I'm really short on time now. P
Maybe you should take a cab. Judging by the number of cars on the street, I think you can make it. P
You really think so? I'd better start hailing a cab. Thanks a lot! P
You're very welcome. P
4-9 Lesson 1-23-3
Excuse me, sir. Do you know the direction to the Metropolitan Metro Station? P
Oh! The bus 20 just left. P
How often does the bus come? P
It runs every 20 minutes. P
Oh no! I haven't got much time. My train leaves in thirty minutes. What should I do? P
The subway station is not working today due to electrical problem. P
I don't know what to do. P
Walk two blocks down and there is another stop. You will need to wait a few minutes. P
The train departs in 30 minutes, and it's impossible to get there in time. P
How about taking a private taxi? It’s not rush hour yet so I think you can reach the station in time. P
Okay. Then I'd better get going. Thanks for all your help! P
Good luck. P
4-10 Lesson 1-24-1
Laura, how long does it take to go to downtown? P
Well, it depends on which route you take. P
If you take the Beeline Bus, it'll take 20 minutes to get to Broadway P
and then you'll have to transfer to the Metro Line 919, which will take about an hour. P
What's the other way? P
If you take the taxi you save more time but it's more expensive. P
How much is the fare? P
About 25 dollars. P
I think the first route is better. The taxi is way too expensive. P
I think I understand what you mean. P
4-11 Lesson 1-24-2
Penny, how long do you think it takes from here to Hollywood? P
If you take the Glendale Beeline bus you have to change buses on Broadway and from there you need to take the Metro 900. P
What about the other route? P
If you are in a hurry take the cab. It will take you faster than the bus. But the price is high. P
Do you know the cost? P
I think it costs about 30 dollars. P
I think I'll go by bus. The taxi is a bit pricey. P
Yeah. The economy hasn't been so great lately. Saving money wouldn't be a bad idea. P
4-12 Lesson 1-24-3
How long does it take to go Santa Monica, Ariel? P
There are two ways to get there. It takes 15 minutes to get to Broadway by bus then twenty minutes to change buses. P
And the other route? P
I think if you take a taxi, it only takes about ten minutes, but they charge you a lot. P
Like what? P
I think the taxi charges about 35 dollars. P
Going by bus seems to be a better option. I don't have enough money to take the taxi. P
I know what you mean. With gas prices soaring these days it's impossible to go anywhere. P
4-13 Lesson 1-25-1
Excuse me. Where can I find a restroom? I'm kind of in a hurry. P
If you walk a block west from here, you'll see a McDonalds. There should be a restroom there. P
Isn't there anywhere else? It's too far to walk. P
There is a public bathroom next to the park, but it's very dirty there. P
That's fine. How do I get there? P
If you walk across the street and make a left there's a big hotel with a nice washroom. P
No, I wouldn't feel comfortable. The public restroom is fine. P
Okay. Then walk across the street and on the corner you will find the restroom. P
4-14 Lesson 1-25-2
Excuse me, sir. My baby needs a diaper change. Do you know where I can find the nearest changing room? P
If you walk about two blocks north from here, there's a Burger King with a bathroom. P
Isn't there anywhere nearby? P
Then you should try the gas station. It has a public toilet. P
That'll do. Where can I find it? P
If you cross the street and turn right there is a fancy restaurant with a clean powder room. P
No. I would rather use the public one. P
It's right next to the swimming pool. Cross the street and you will see it on your left. P
4-15 Lesson 1-25-3
Excuse me. Is there a restroom nearby? P
There's a Wendy's a block from here. P
I don't think I can make it. Is there anywhere close by? P
The library has a restroom, but it not very clean. P
Great. Where is it? P
After you cross the street you should make a left. There is a cafe with a good restroom. P
I'm satisfied with the public restroom. P
Then, on the other corner of the street across from us, you shall find the bathroom. P
4-16 Lesson 1-26-1
Excuse me, miss. P
Can I help you? P
What is the next stop? P
Pillsbury Lane. We're very close. P
I see. Will we pass by Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory? P
Yes, but before we do we'll be making two more stops. P
Then does this bus stop in Sea Crest Lake? P
No. It only goes around it. P
Then there are no stops between Pastry and Coco Alley? P
No, but your location is a few blocks after. P
Okay then. Thank you. P
You're welcome. P
4-17 Lesson 1-26-2
Hello? P
Yes? P
Where are we going now? P
We are going to reach Pine Tree Lane very soon. P
Oh. Does this bus stop at Ponka's Cream Factory? P
Yes, but not until we make three more stops. P
Then I guess it must stop at Seaport Shore? P
The bus will not stop, but it will go around it. P
Oh. We're not going to stop by Tiramisu and Mousse Street? P
Well, no, but we're going to stop by your location afterwards. P
Thank you for your help. P
My pleasure. P
4-18 Lesson 1-26-3
Excuse me. P
Do you need something? P
Where are we stopping next? P
We'll be reaching Woodland Hills very soon. P
Really? Does this bus go to Polky's Ice cream factory? P
Yes. P
Ah, I see. So it must mean that we will stop at Holy Park? P
It won't stop. It circles though. P
Then I guess we're not going to stop by Hazelnut and Cinnamon Blvd. P
No, but don't worry. We'll stop at your destination right after. P
Thanks for being so helpful. P
No problem. P
