Read and translate the dialogue:
I’m looking for the Opera House
- Excuse me. Sorry to bother you but I’m afraid I got lost. I’m looking for the Opera
House. How do I get there?
- I know this area quite well. So you have to go down the road that way and when you see
the Napoleon monument you should turn left and follow the stone path.
- Right. Is there a sign near the Theatre?
- No, sorry. But I am sure you won’t miss it. It’s a beautiful marble building with columns.
It’s next to the Art gallery, just opposite the fountains. If you need a box-office there you
should take a lift to the basement level, then pass the cloakroom and walk straight down
the aisle until you see the notice.
- That seems quite far. Ok then. Thanks a lot. You’ve been really helpful. By the way is
there a beach close to the Theatre? Could you tell me the way, please?
- Actually it’s about 2 miles from the Opera House. You could catch a bus and the third
stop will be yours.
- I would rather go on foot. I enjoy walking and admiring the city architecture.
- I see. Then you should go around the corner on your left, walk along King’s Road, cross
the bridge and then take the second right at the traffic lights. You’ll see the exit to the
beach in about half a mile.
- OK. Thanks again. Hopefully I won’t get lost again.
- Have fun at the beach!
