Situation 10:

Calling for Directions

(Mike calls Sarah’s sorority to get

directions to the party.)

Hello,may I speak with Sarah,please?

Sarah’s not here Can I take a message?

No,no message.I was just calling for directions to the

party tonight.Do you know where it is?

Sure,I’m going too.It’s in the grand ballroom of the Hyatt Hotel.

And what’s the best way to get there from school? Will you

be driving?

Well,I won’t,but my friend Bill has a car,and my roommate and I

will be going with him.

Okay,it’s really easy.Just go straight down Main Street heading

toward downtown.Then turn right on Brattle Street,you

know where Brattle is, right?Yeah,isn’t there a Gap

clothing store on the corner?

Right.And from there just go down

about four blocksand the Hyatt is on the corner of Brattle

and Kearney Streets.And the grand ballroom

is on the second floor Did you get all that?

Got it.Anything else I should know?

No,just be there a little early or all

the good food will be gone.

Okay,we’ll be there at eight o’clock sharp.

Fine,but the party starts at seven.

That’s right.I forgot.We’ll be there no later than quarter

after seven, okay?

Great.See you then.

See you then.Bye.
