dale : excuse me. could you tell me how to get to the palace museum?

nancy: you can take bus 5. the driver will tell you where to get off.

dale : yes, but i'm driving my own car.

nancy: oh, then you drive along this street, turn right at the third crossroad, then take the first left. keep straight on until you see a road sign that says "palace museum", and then you follow the sign. it will direct you to the palace museum.

dale : drive along this street, turn right, turn left, keep straight, and then i'll see the road sign?

nancy: that's right.

dale : are you sure that i won't bump into any one-way streets?

nancy: well,...i don't think you will....i don't see any car around here. where is your car?

dale : i parked it over there. you see?

nancy: oh, no. you'd better move it before a policeman sees you parking there.

dale : why? i don't see any "no parking" signs.

nancy: but you're parking in a bus zone.

dale : here comes a policeman. i'd better run....thank you, miss....oh, by the way, how long will it take for me to get to the museum?

nancy: about half an hour.

dale : thanks again. you've been very helpful.

nancy: hurry up, or you'll get a ticket.
