                  Going to the white house






                  A:  Excuse me. I am a tourist from Thailand. I cannot seem to fi nd the way going to the White
                     House. Can you help me?
                  B:  Sure. To get to the White House on the Metro, you have to take the Blue or Orange Line to the
                     Eastern Market subway station. Facing Pennsylvania, cross at 16th Street NW and there you
                     can fi nd the White House.
                  A:  Do you have an idea how much the fare is?
                  B:  Hmm… It would be around $2.

                  A:  You are heaven sent. Thank you very much.
                  B:  It is my pleasure.


















                  1. Have you visited the White House?


                    Sample answer:
                    I have traveled to the States a number of times, but I have never been to the White House. I will try to visit that place the next time I go there.

                  2. How often do you travel?


                    Sample answer:
                    I travel at least twice a year. I think I deserve a vacation for the hard work that I do.

                  3. Do you think it is safe to ask for directions from a stranger?

                    Sample answer:


                    It depends on the place where you are, but generally, it is unsafe so it is better to ask a police officer for directions.
