Julia and Paul are in the street. They couldn't buy tickets to the cinema. So they decided to visit Lincoln Memorial but they don't know the way to it and Paul asks a passer-by for help.
PAUL: Excuse me, please.
PASSER-BY: Yes?
PA UL: Could you tell us how to get to Lincoln Memorial?
PASSER-BY: Oh, well, let me see. Walk down the road. Take the first turn to the right and walk straight until you come to the square.
PAUL: Square?
PASSER-BY: Yes, you can't see it quite clearly from here. When you come to it, walk across it.
PAUL: Down the road, turn to the right, then straight again and across the square. Am I right? Thank you very much.
PASSER-BY: Not at all
