Excuse me, please, where’s a House of Journalist in Moscow?
The Journalist House is located in the centre of Moscow.
Sorry, I can't talk, I don’t have time!
Tell me, please, where’s a metro station around here?
There is a metro station not far from the hotel, the name of the station is " ВДНХ".
What a strange name! Why does a metro station have such a name?
Certainly, it is a strange word, but I can explain it.
The first letter in the word «ВДНХ» stands for "выставка" (exhibition), because a big exhibition complex is located here.
The metro station is over there. Look (shows): straight ahead is a a wide street, it’s called Prospect Mira.
And further down you can see a round building with a red letter "M" on the top, do you see it? It is the entrance to the metro station.
And where can I buy a metro pass? Can I buy it in the hotel?
No, the hotel does not have a meto ticket office, you can’t buy a pass there.
Can I buy a pass in a street kiosk where newspapers are sold?
No, you can’t buy a pass in a (newspaper) kiosk either. You can buy it at a metro ticket office. I don’t remember exactly how much the ticket is but it’s not expensive.
Thank you for your help, this is a very useful information. Well, it’s 12 o’clock now, the press conference is after lunch, at 4 p.m. I haven’t seen anything in Mosow yet, because I haven’t been to the centre. And now I have some free time and can see the Moscow city centre. Should I take Maria’s suitcase (with me) or not? It is so big and heavy… No, I won't take it, I’ll be looking for Maria.
