英会話 – Pharmacy directions

Josh: Excuse me, could you tell me how to get to the pharmacy from here?
Stranger: Sure, you just go straight ahead for about three blocks, then make a left and take that street for…
Josh: Hold on a second, let me write this down.
Stranger: Okay
Josh: Three blocks, then a left…
Stranger: Yes, you’ll go over a bridge and the pharmacy will be on your right. Next to the electronics store.
Josh: Oh, thanks very much. I’m from out of town, do you happen to know of a good restaurant nearby?
Stranger: What kind of food do you like?
Josh: What about Chinese?
Stranger: Oh, yes. There is an excellent one not far from here.
Josh: Is it on the way to the pharmacy?
Stranger: Unfortunately, it’s in the opposite direction.
Josh: Oh well, as long as it isn’t far.
Stranger: Just turn around and go about a block and a half. Then turn left and go for about three kilometers past the McDonald’s…
Josh: Oh, wait a second. I don’t have a car, I’m going on foot!
Stranger: I see, in that case it might be a bit far.
Josh: So what is there that’s closer?
Stranger: Do you like Indian food?
Josh: No, that’s too spicy for me!
Stranger: What about Italian?
Josh: Oh, perfect. I love Italian!
Stranger: Great. That one is very close.
Josh: How do I get there?
Stranger: You just turn right over there, walk for about a block or two and it will be on your left. It’s on the corner, you can’t miss it!
Josh: Thank you very much, you’ve been so helpful.
Stranger: No trouble at all.
Josh: No, you’ve really saved me a lot of looking around. Can I buy you lunch to pay you back for all your help?
Stranger: Well, I was on my way to pick up my dry cleaning, but that can wait. It isn’t going anywhere!
Josh: Great, let’s go!
