Sixth lesson

SIGHTSEEING

Part one

Sightseeing

I'm Peter Charlton.

I'm in the Beardsley Hotel.

Today I'm showing the Hunts round London.

This is my favourite city.

I work here and live here, too.

I know London very well but Mr. Hunt doesn't know it.

He knows the north of England but he doesn't know the south.

The Hunts are from Scotland.

My parents live there, too, and they know the Hunts very well.

I've got plans for today.

This morning we're going to Buckingham Palace.

Before lunch we're also going to the Post Office Tower.

Then we're having lunch in Soho.

This afternoon we're walking round Soho.

This evening we're having dinner at an Italian restaurant.

After dinner we're going to a concert at the Festival Hall.

What a busy day!

Part two

This morning

Are you still tired, Jane?

No, I'm not.

Where are we going this morning?

Where are you taking us?

First we're going to Buckingham Palace.

Sheila's very excited.

Why?

Because she's meeting some friends.

From Geneva?

Yes, they're secretaries at the United Nations.

They're staying in Hampstead.

Does she know them well?

Yes, she does.

She's having lunch with them.

They're showing her round London.

Good!

Now, where's your mother?

She's still in her room.

She's very slow.

Yes, well, she's a woman.

Women are slow.

Here she is.

This afternoon

When are you taking us on the river?

After lunch.

I'm taking you to BuckinghamPalace before lunch.

Are we going to the Post Office Tower, too?

Yes, we're going there before lunch.

Are we walking?

No, we're going on a bus.

Now, where's your mother?

She's in the souvenir shop.

She's late again.

There she is.

I'm late again. I'm sorry.

That's all right... but hurry!

We're catching that bus.

Buildings

Is this Piccadilly Circus?

No, this is Trafalgar Square.

What a high building!

Is that the Post Office Tower?

No, it isn't.

We can't see it from here.

It's between Tottenham Court Road and Regent Street.

What's that?

That's my favourite building.

It's the National Gallery.

When do you go there?

During my lunch hour.

Is your office near here?

Yes, it's in the Strand.

Where's that?

It's between Charing Cross and the Aldwych.

Oh, you're lucky!

Yes, I am.

Look! We can see the Post Office Tower.

I can see the top.

How high is it?

I don't know.

There's a guide at the top.

You can ask him.

Can we go to the top?

Yes, we can.

Oh good.

Are you coming, Mum? Hurry!

Simon's excited.

He likes high buildings.

Are you coming with us, Guy?

Yes.

A wonderful view

We're lucky.

Why?

Because there aren't any clouds.

Is that Hyde Park?

No, that's St. James's Park.

There's Hyde Park on that side.

And there's Buckingham Palace.

It's between the two parks.

That's right.

Look! There's the Tower of London.

Where?

Near the river.

Are we going on the river?

Yes, you're going on it this afternoon, Sarah.

Oh good!

What a wonderful view!

Part three

We're waiting

Can we go now?

No, we're waiting for Alice again.

Does she know the time?

I don't know.

She knows our plans.

I can see her in the restaurant.

She's still eating.

She doesn't know the time.

We're late.

I can see the bus.

Now she's paying the waiter.

Here she comes.

We can go now.

I can catch a bus

When are you leaving London?

This evening.

Before dinner?

No, after dinner.

The plane's leaving at nine.

I can't take you to the airport.

Why?

Because I'm going to a concert this evening.

Oh well... I can catch a bus.
