A: excuse me? How can I get to the nearest branch of the national bank?

B: there’s branch on new street. Walk up this street until you get to the first set of traffic lights. Then turn right at the traffic lights.

A; how far up the street are the traffic lights?

B: now far. About 150 meters perhaps.

A; ok. So I turn right at the traffic lights. Then?

A: ok. Where do I go then?

A: this is the route I thought we could take on our hike on Saturday afternoon.

B: how long is it altogether?

A: it’s about six or seven miles. That’s about the kilometers.

B; that sounds OK. So, we start here at the car park and walk along the path to the waterfall.

A: right. Then we turn left and walk up this small hill. The view from the top of the hill is worth the climb. We can eat a snack there.

B: then we will follow this path down the hill to the old church.

A: we can spend a few minutes looking around the church. Then, we turn right and walk along this path.

B; this path leads to the cave. Can we look inside the cave?

A: yes, we can, but it isn’t very interesting.

B: then we turn south and come back to the car park along this path.

A: that’s right.

B: how long do you think it will take us to complete the walk?

A; I think it will take about four hours, including breaks.

B; that’s fine. Are there signposts along the way, in case we get lost?

A; yes, there are. They tell use which way to go and how far we have to walk.
