Unit1 Could you tell me how to get to the National Stadium?

（Betty and Lingling are standing in front of Tian’anmen Square）

Tourist : Excuse me! Can you tell me the way to Wangfujing Dajie?

Betty: Certainly. Go across Dong Chang’an Jie, go along the street and turn left at the third

street on the left. It’s near here, so you can walk there.

Tourist: Great. And I’d like to buy a guidebook about Beijing. Is there a bookshop near here? Lingling: Yes, there is a big bookshop over there, just along Xi Chang’an Jie, on the right,

opposite the bank.

Tourist: Right, OK! I also want to visit the National Stadium. How can I get there?

Lingling: Sorry, I’m not sure. Why not ask the policeman over there?

Tourist: Thank you.

Betty and

Lingling: You’ re welcome.

Tourist: Could you tell me how to get to the National Stadium?

Policeman: Sure! Go along the street and you’ll see an underground station. Take the

Underground to the Olympic Sports Centre, or you can take a bus or taxi.

Tourist: Thanks a lot.

Policeman: You’ re welcome. Have a nice day!

Tour of London

Welcome to this short tour of London. This square is Trafalgar Square and it is the middle of London. We’re standing opposite the National Gallery, a famous museum with lots of famous paintings. From here, we’ll walk along the red street to Buckingham Palace. The Queen lives here.

Turn left and go to the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben. Opposite you can see the London Eye. It takes you 135 metres above the River Thames. You can see most of London on a clear day.

When you are tired, the best way to see London is by boat. You can get the boat near Big Ben. As you go along the river, the London Eye is on your right.

Get off the boat at Tower Bridge. Next to the bridge is the Tower of London. It’s over 900 years old.

After visiting the Tower of London, take the boat back along the river to the railway station. When you get off the boat, go past the station and walk along the street. Turn left into King’s
