conversation thirteen. Today we will talk about asking for and giving directions. Let's
look at line one of the conversation. In this conversation, you will learn
various terms for the bathroom. Depending on what country you're in, you may
use a different word. Restroom or bathroom is common to say in America,
washroom is more common in Canada, and lu is more common in England.
Let's look at line three of the conversation. Beside that jewelry store. Here
the person is looking for the bathroom. Where is the bathroom beside indicates location.
The bathroom is next to the jewelry store. In line four, we
see another word that indicates location between between the jewelry store and the music store.
Between is the same as in the middle. The jewelry store is first,
the bathroom is second, the music store is third. Where is the
bathroom. The bathroom is between the jewelry store and the music store. Let's
try an example. The restaurant is first, the bathroom is second, the
clothing store is third. Where is the bathroom. The bathroom is between the
restaurant and the clothing store. The bathroom is in the middle of the restaurant
and the clothing store. Let's practice the present progressive form we learned last lesson.
In this conversation, there are no examples of the present progressive. But
let's think of some examples that relate to the conversation. Remember, we need
a conjugation of to B and a verb with I n G. And this
conversation speaker A is going to the bathroom. This is an example of present
progressive is going is is a form of to B, and going is a
verb that ends with I n G. What else could you say? I
am shopping at them all? Am is a conjugation of to B, and
shopping is a verb plus I n G. I am entering the music store,
am entering. He is buying a c D is buying. Let's look
at the last line in our conversation. You're welcome. Your welcome is a
common response to thank you. Another possible response is my pleasure. My pleasure
is a bit more formal or polite. Remember that when you're asking for directions,
an important phrase is where is the and you put the place you want
to find? Where is restroom? Where is the jewelry store? Where is
the music store? Pay close attention to the answer. Someone may say over
there, which indicates it's a bit far, or someone might say it's right
here. This means it's very close. Go practice your conversation with your conversation
partner. Goodbye. It's invisible but very powerful. It is intangible but can
change lives, build bridges, open up new worlds, bring about new opportunities.
It creates friendships, makes new love stories possible, and builds careers.
It's fluency, and it is accelerated when you have the chance to practice the
language every day. Start practicing conversations now at fluencyix dot com.
