Dialogue 1

Stranger Excuse me, can you tell me the way to the UralSib bank, please!

Native Oh, yes, the nearest branch is just around the corner. You turn left at the next crossing.

Stranger Sorry, I want to go to the main building.

Dialogue 2

Tania Hi, Gulnaz!

Gulnaz Hi, Tania!

Tania Where are you going?

Gulnaz I decided to go to the Bashkir State Drama Theater but I don’t know how to get there.

Tania It’s easy: go by the 12 trolley. The stop is in front of the University building and get off at the last stop. The theater will be in front of you across the street.
