com. Hello and welcome to Beginner's English

15
00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:21.439
conversation thirteen. Today we will talk
about asking for and giving directions. Let's

16
00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:27.879
look at line one of the conversation. In this conversation, you will learn

17
00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:37.079
various terms for the bathroom. Depending
on what country you're in, you may

18
00:01:37.239 --> 00:01:46.120
use a different word. Restroom or
bathroom is common to say in America,

19
00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:53.519
washroom is more common in Canada,
and lu is more common in England.

20
00:01:56.079 --> 00:02:06.120
Let's look at line three of the
conversation. Beside that jewelry store. Here

21
00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:17.400
the person is looking for the bathroom. Where is the bathroom beside indicates location.

22
00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:29.039
The bathroom is next to the jewelry
store. In line four, we

23
00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:42.280
see another word that indicates location between
between the jewelry store and the music store.

24
00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:52.360
Between is the same as in the
middle. The jewelry store is first,

25
00:02:53.919 --> 00:03:04.439
the bathroom is second, the music
store is third. Where is the

26
00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:15.439
bathroom. The bathroom is between the
jewelry store and the music store. Let's

27
00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:27.560
try an example. The restaurant is
first, the bathroom is second, the

28
00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:38.439
clothing store is third. Where is
the bathroom. The bathroom is between the

29
00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:47.520
restaurant and the clothing store. The
bathroom is in the middle of the restaurant

30
00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:58.000
and the clothing store. Let's practice
the present progressive form we learned last lesson.

31
00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:06.039
In this conversation, there are no
examples of the present progressive. But

32
00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:15.199
let's think of some examples that relate
to the conversation. Remember, we need

33
00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:24.560
a conjugation of to B and a
verb with I n G. And this

34
00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:33.720
conversation speaker A is going to the
bathroom. This is an example of present

35
00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:44.480
progressive is going is is a form
of to B, and going is a

36
00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:51.600
verb that ends with I n G. What else could you say? I

37
00:04:51.639 --> 00:05:00.519
am shopping at them all? Am
is a conjugation of to B, and

38
00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:10.839
shopping is a verb plus I n
G. I am entering the music store,

39
00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:21.399
am entering. He is buying a
c D is buying. Let's look

40
00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:30.680
at the last line in our conversation. You're welcome. Your welcome is a

41
00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:40.920
common response to thank you. Another
possible response is my pleasure. My pleasure

42
00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:49.199
is a bit more formal or polite. Remember that when you're asking for directions,

43
00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:57.680
an important phrase is where is the
and you put the place you want

44
00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:04.360
to find? Where is restroom?
Where is the jewelry store? Where is

45
00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:13.000
the music store? Pay close attention
to the answer. Someone may say over

46
00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:19.879
there, which indicates it's a bit
far, or someone might say it's right

47
00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:28.519
here. This means it's very close. Go practice your conversation with your conversation

48
00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:34.959
partner. Goodbye. It's invisible but
very powerful. It is intangible but can

49
00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:43.680
change lives, build bridges, open
up new worlds, bring about new opportunities.

50
00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:49.519
It creates friendships, makes new love
stories possible, and builds careers.
