Katya, tell me, why don’t you want to walk to the theatre?
Andrei, I am very tired. Let’s ride to the theatre: take a car, taxi, or trolleybus. It does not matter to me!
And why are you tired? It’s morning, and the weather is good. It is so nice to be walking in the centre of Moscow!
I am tired because it took us so long to get here. We don’t live in the centre of Moscow...
Yes, we live on the outskirts, I am well aware of that.
So, you remember: first, we walked from our house to the bus stop for almost half an hour.
Then we waited for the bus for another 15 minutes, and it was very cold. Then, for 17 more minutes, we rode on the bus.
You remember everything so precisely!
Yes, I remember because I was very cold. Then we got on the metro…
Katya, it was warm in the metro!
Yes, I was warm in the metro, but we rode the metro for almost an hour!
We made two transfers: first, at Kurskaya station, and then at Komsomolskaya. And now I want to get a taxi.
But you are suggesting that we should walk – I just don’t understand you!
Listen to me...
Excuse me, I am looking for the Journalist House. I know the address: Nikitskyi boulevard, 5.
Nikitskiy Boulevard is right here, here on the map, but I can’t figiure out which way I should go now – left or right.
Could you tell (prompt) me where I need to go?
You need the Journalist House? You got lucky: we are going there as well.
Andrei, we are not going to the Journalist House, we need the theatre box office!
And we wanted to get there by taxi...
But we should help, um.. what is your name?
My name is John, I’m Canadian.
Here is John, he needs help, because he is a Canadian and he doesn’t know where to go.
