[03:12.00]Policeman: Sure.
[03:15.16]Green: Where's the International Hotel?
[03:19.24]Policeman: Well,the International Hotel is that way.
[03:24.28]Look at this map. You are on Tianjin Street.
[03:29.45]Green: Yes,how can I get to the hotel?
[03:34.49]Policeman: You should keep along this street,
[03:38.75]walk two blocks and take the second turning on the right at the traffic lights,
[03:45.52]then you'll see a petrol station. The hotel is over there,on the right.
[03:52.39]Green: Well,sorry,it's all too complicated for me.
[03:58.13]Policeman: In that case,

[04:14.25]Passage you can't Miss it
[04:22.71]Last summer my brother and I stayed for a week with some friends in Boston.
[04:30.76]That was our first trip away from home
[04:35.44]and we wanted to see something of Boston's historic places.
[04:41.60]One morning we started out to look for a famous church.
[04:48.76]We stopped a stranger and asked,
[04:53.72]"How do we get to the Old North Church?"
[04:58.68]"Go three blocks and turn to your left,"he said.
[05:05.16]"You can't miss it."
[05:09.21]So we walked three blocks and turned to our left,
[05:15.59]but the church wasn't there.
[05:19.66]We then asked a second stranger.He said,"Go three blocks and turn to your left.
[05:29.51]You can't miss it."
[05:33.06]But again we couldn't find the church. Finally we asked a third stranger.
[05:42.20]"Go three blocks and turn to your left.
[05:47.56]You can't miss it." This time we found the church,
[05:53.91]but we wondered if everything in Boston was three blocks and a left turn away.
[06:01.67]Just then somebody walked over to us and said,
[06:07.91]"Excuse me,where is the post office? Can you tell me?"
[06:14.26]"Go three blocks and turn to your left,"
[06:19.90]my brother replied."You can't miss it."
