Dialogue 1

K: Hi, Austin. I'm just calling to see if you are OK.

A: I'm fine , but I seem to be a bit lost.

K: OK, where are you right now?

A: I have no idea. I don't see any road signs.

K: Do you see anything around you like a hotel or a restaurant?

A: There's a bar called "Q Bar" in front of me.

K: I know where that is. You must be on Queen's Street.

A: So, have I passed the steet you live on yet?

K: Unfortunately, you must have passed it a while ago.

A: I've really got no sense of direction, do I?

K: Don't worry. I can tell you how to get here. Do you have an up-to-date map in your car?

A: Yes, I'm looking at one now.

K: Do you see Queen's Street?

A: Yes, you can't miss it. I've marked it with my pen.

K: Good. You need to go back the way you came. Follow it east for about 5 miles. You'll get to a roundabout. Take the first right. Then you'll be on St. James Stesst. Follow that for 3.5 miles, take a right at the second set of traffic lights, and then park your car. My house is the third house on the right.

A: I think I've got it. But I might have to call you again when I get to your street.

K: No problem! Drive safely!
