New-comer: Excuse me, can you tell me the way to the “Druzhba” hotel? I’m a stranger here, I’ve just arrived in Moscow.

Passer-by: Oh, it’s quite a long way from here.

New-comer: Yes, I know, but my friends advised me to put up at this hotel.

Passer-by: Your friends are right, it is one of our best hotels. You may go there by the underground. It’s the quickest way to get there, though you’ll have to change on to a bus in Lev Tolstoy Square or walk.

New-comer: What bus shall I change on to?

Passer-by: a number 65 or 46 bus will take you to Popov Street. It is only one stop from the metro station.

New-comer: Thank you very much. Is it possible to get there by tram or trolley-bus? I haven’t seen anything of Moscow yet and I’ve heard so much about this beautiful city!

Passer-by: You can get on a № 1 trolley-bus. It will take you as far as Palace Square where you may get off. When you have admired the wonderful view around you, take a № 10 bus.

New-comer: where must I get off for the “Druzhba” hotel?

Passer-by: In Popov street, but you had better ask the conductor to put down or you may miss your stop.

New-comer: I’m very much obliged to you.

Passer-by: That’s all right.

N: am I going the right way to the № 1 trolley-bus stop?

A: You are quite out of your way. Go straight on as far as the first turning to the right, then cross the street and you will see the stop. You cannot lose your way. It’s just a two minutes’ walk from here. I’m going that way myself. Come with me if you like.

N: Thank you. It’s very kind of you.
