SIGHTSEEING IN CAMBRIDGE

Part 1

Sightseeing in cambridge

We're sorry we haven't got more time for sightseeing.

We arrived yesterday morning and we've got to leave tonight.

Yesterday morning Sarah did some shopping and after lunch she did some sightseeing.

I had to go to the sales conference, so I couldn't do any sightseeing.

Last night we were much too tired to do anything.

When Sarah's ready, we'll go downstairs for breakfast.

During breakfast we'll plan our day.

Actually, we'll only think about the morning because we're meeting Mr. and Mrs. Tate at half past one.

They intend to do some sightseeing with us after lunch.

If the weather's nice, we'll have a picnic.

It looks as if it'll be a nice day.

I hope it won't be too hot.

Part 2

Finding the map

Let's sit here by the front window.

No.

That table's much too small.

If we sit at a larger table, we can open the map.

Shall we sit here, in the middle of the room?

No.

I'd prefer to sit near the back window.

Don't you want to sit by a window?

Yes, of course I do.

When I wanted to sit by the front window, you didn't want to.

The table by the front window was too small, much too small.

Let's look at the map now.

Where is it?

Haven't you got it?

No, I think you've got it.

Hadn't you got it among your business papers?

No.

When I saw it upstairs, it was between your shopping bag and your writing paper, so I think you ought to look in your shopping bag.

I know you're wrong but I'll look...

I hope it's there.

You were right.

Here it is.

It is on top of my bag.

Here's the waitress with our breakfast.

We'll look at the map after breakfast.

Looking at the map

We're here, in Station Road and we're going to meet the Tates at the entrance to St. John's College.

That's ideal!

We'll go straight along this street and when we get to that church, we'll turn left.

Yes, then after we've looked at some of the colleges, we'll walk along this road to St. John's.

Perhaps we ought to walk down this lane here.

It leads to a bridge over the river.

Yes, that sounds as if it'll be nice.

Shall we walk or shall we catch a bus to the town centre?

I always prefer walking.

I usually prefer going by bus.

But wait a minute!

We've forgotten the Fitzwilliam Museum.

Don't you want to see that?

Of course I do.

Let's go there first.

Walking in Cambridge

Didn't you drive past King's College when you went to the conference yesterday?

Yes, we did, but we drove past it very fast.

Let's walk today.

I always prefer walking to driving.

Yes, so do I, but I get tired very easily.

If you get tired today, we'll catch a bus.

Aren't we there now?

I can see King's College Chapel.

Oh yes.

That's the back of it.

Don't you think we ought to walk round to the front?

Yes, let's walk through the college.

Then if we go left, we'll be in Trinity Street.

Yes and when we get to the end of Trinity Street we'll turn right.

Then we can walk straight to St. John's College.

No, look at the map.

When we get to the end of Trinity Street, we'll be outside St. John's.

It seems as if our plan will be perfect.

The Senate House

Do you know what that building is?

The one with the flag on top.

Isn't that Clare College?

No, we walked past Clare College earlier, so it can't be that.

Let's look at the map.

It's the Senate House, isn't it?

Don't you think it looks Roman?

No, it looks more like eighteenth-century English.

Shall we go inside?

It's closed, so we can't.

Can't we go inside the university church, either?

Yes, we can but we'll have to hurry.

Remember, we intended to meet the Tates at half past one.

Oh yes.

If we hurry, we'll be on time.

Part 3

Studying

John!

Where are you?

I'm upstairs.

What are you doing?

I'm watching television.

Come downstairs immediately.

I want you to do your studying.

I prefer watching television, Mum.

It's much too early to watch television.

But I don't like studying, Mum.

Don't you want to go to university?

Yes, Mum.

Oh all right, I'll go into the back room.

The lake

Shall we dance?

What a good idea!

Thank you.

Let's go to the front by the group.

All right.

But it looks as if it's very crowded there.

Well, if you get hot or tired, we'll go outside.

It's very nice by the lake.

Let's stay inside.
