Vocabulary﹕In the streets
【明報專訊】Pat: Excuse me, I want to go to the museum to see the exhibition of foreign antiques. Is it a long way from here?
Dr Panda: No, it isn't. It is only five minutes' walk from here.
Pat: How do I get there?
Dr Panda: Cross Smarties Road. Turn right. Go straight on until you come to the post office. And then you turn left. Walk along Happy Street and turn right when you come to the pharmacy. The museum is the third building on your left. It's between the cafe and the shopping mall.
Pat: Thank you very much for your help.
Dr Panda: You're welcome. Have a nice day.
