WE ARE HERE! ( YA ESTAMOS AQUÍ!)

Transcripción

1 WE ARE HERE! ( YA ESTAMOS AQUÍ!) 1. Introducción We are in London! London is a wonderful city with many monuments and parks and museums and restaurants and shops... and many people from many different countries speaking many different languages! Today, on our third day in London, we want to visit a street market and some monuments. We have chosen (hemos elegido) Bermondsey Market because it is near the Tower of London and near our hotel. We want to go on foot but... How can we get from our hotel to the market? 2. We ask a passer-by Algunas Recomendaciones 1. Al dirigirnos a alguien a quien no conocemos o con quien no tenemos confianza para solicitar algo empezaremos siempre diciendo: Excuse me! 2. A continuación presentaremos nuestra solicitud, de la manera más correcta y formal posible: can you, please, tell me? 3. No olvides que las cosas se piden siempre por favor, aunque en español no sea lo más habitual. Bloque IV. Tema 5, Página 1 de 8

2 READ AND LISTEN TO THE DIALOGUE: YOU: Excuse me, can you, please, tell me how to get to The Tower of London? PASSERBY: Yes, of course. Do you want to walk or you want to go by tube or by bus? YOU: Well, we want to walk but is it too far away? PASSERBY: No, not too far... it's just a ten minutes walk. Can I have your map, please? YOU: Sure, here you are. PASSERBY: We are here. Now you go down the street to the traffic lights, then turn right and go straight on for about two blocks, turn left and the Tower will be right in front of you! YOU: Thank you very much, and, do you know which bus can we pick to come back to our hotel in Beech Street? PASSERBY: Hummm, let me see! Yes, pick bus number 153.
