Michele: Excuse me, is this the right stop for St. Paul's cathedral¹?

 

Andrew: Yes, it is. There is a map here which tells you the number of the bus.

 

Michele: Oh, yes, I see. So, the number 8 bus goes to St. Paul's?

 

Andrew: That's right. And it tells you on the time-table how often they go. I am going² in that direction³. I'll tell you when to get off⁴.

 

Michele: That's very kind of you.

 

Andrew: No problem⁵. The driver will tell you if you ask but they sometimes forget.

 

Michele: Look, here comes the bus now.

 

Andrew: Let's sit downstairs⁷, it's easier to get off.

 

Michele: Thank you. Is it a long ride?

 

Andrew: Yes, it is quite far but you will see a lot. Have you got⁸ a ticket?

 

Michele: No, I haven't. Should I have bought one?

 

Andrew: Well, it's cheaper if you buy a ticket for the day. But don't worry, you can pay⁹ on the bus.

 

Michele: Only problem is, I don't have much change for the fare¹⁰.

 

Andrew: Don't give him a large note. He won't like it. Give him coins¹¹ if you can.

 

Michele: I've got one or two. Oh look! There's the Houses of Parliament¹²!

 

Andrew: You get a good view¹³ from the bus. It's more interesting than the Underground¹⁴ but, of course¹⁵, it takes much longer.

 

Michele: Well, I've got plenty¹⁶ of time.

 

Andrew: Here's the ticket man now. One to St. Paul's, please... There you are, I'll get it for you.

 

Michele: Let me give you the money. I'm so glad I met you.

 

Andrew: And I'm glad I met you. In fact¹⁷, I think I'll take a trip to St. Paul's as⁶ well. I can 'phone and cancel¹⁸ my other business¹⁹. We'll ring the bell in a minute. Do you mind²⁰ if I join you?

 

Michele: Not at all, but let's have a coffee first. Then we'll be proper²¹ tourists²²!
