Excuse me, can you te ll me w here the bank is, please?
It's round the co rn e r fro m the su pe rm arke t.
Excuse me, can you te ll me w here the bank is, please? 
It's up the road fro m the su p e rm a rk e t beside the cinema.
Excuse me, can you te ll me w here the bank is, please? 
It's at the opposite end of the stre e t fro m the cinema.
Excuse me, can you te ll me w here the bank is, please? 
It's behind the su p e rm a rk e t w hich is near the cinema.
Hi, Jane. How are you se ttlin g in to life at university?
Fine, except I d on't really know w ha t there is to do in town. I haven't had tim e to look around yet. 
You've been here fo r a year - could you give me som e ideas?
Of course! There's lots of places fo r students. Firstly, if you go across the bridge over the rive r 
outside the cam pus and tu rn l e f t ... Oh no. sorry, th a t's the garage ... tu rn rig ht, then y o u 'll get to 
the bow ling a lle y , w hich is really p op ular at the w eekends because it's so close to the cam pus. On 
Friday nights they have a special discount fo r students.
Oh, th a t's great! I love bow ling.
S o ,... do you like sports, Jane?
Yes, I go running and sw im m ing , and I play badm inton.
In th a t case, there's a running tra c k behind the university cam pus and I th in k they have a 
badm inton co urt at the sp orts centre.
A ctually, I'm happy ju s t to run in the park.
W ell, th ere's a large park in town, too. If you go down the road opposite the bow ling alley and take 
the firs t rig ht, then you’ll get to the p a rk . It's quite big and there's a lake in it. You can take a boat 
out on it. The u niversity rowing team practise there.
What about places to eat out? Are there any good student hang-outs?
Absolutely. There’s the Elm Tree Cafe, which is down the road from the post office in the opposite 
direction from the river. The cafe is on a fo rk in the main road and it ’s quite an institution round here. 
OK, w ell, I’ll have to check it out. I’m looking fo r a p art-tim e job so maybe I’ll be able to find w ork there. 
Mm, you should try - they're always looking fo r new staff and they often hire students. Now have
I forgotten any other im p orta nt places? Oh yes, you like sport, so I should m ention the leisure centre. 
Don’t get it confused w ith the sw im m ing baths, which are down the road from the superm arket. The 
leisure centre is opposite. There aren’t any sw im m ing baths there, but you can get a student leisure 
card which w ill let you into both. So, you see, there is quite a lot to do in this town.
It seem s like there is. W ell, th an ks fo r a ll the inform a tion , Sophie.
No problem . See you soon.
