R e s i d e n t : Yes?
S t r .: I... I was wondering if you could help me.
R.: Well, I’ll try.
S t r .: I need to find out where the... er... town centre is. Now
I see there is a sign up there that points to the left.
R.: Ah, well, let me see, ... er... it all depends if you’re on foot
or going by car.
S t r .: Ah, no, I’m walking.
R.: Ah well, you turn to the left and then carry straight on.
S t r .: Ah, right, thanks! Er... I wonder if you could tell me...
um... if there’s a good hotel... er... in town that I can use.
R.: Oh, let me think a moment... um... yes, there are two ho
tels — they’re in the High Street... er... one on each side of the
road.
S t r .: Right, well, I expect we’ll manage to find one of those.
Er, I wonder if you could tell me er... anything about the... er...
castle
in town... er... where... where it is.
R.: Um, well, it’s actually further on... er... down the High
Street and then you cross over the bridge and it’s on the other
side of the river.
S t r .: I see, I see. Could you tell me a bit more about it? Is it
worth visiting you think?
R.: I’m not really sure. I’ve never actually been there myself. I
think it’s one of the tourist attractions of the town.
S t r .: I see, well, right, thank you, thank you.
