Hi, guys!
We’re going to Brighton soon.
Just 80 km south of London on England’s south coast it is a great place to visit. Brighton is one of the most exciting cities in Britain – with its fantastic shopping, good-value restaurants, great arts and music and famous beach and pier – it’s a popular place to visit or stay. It has even got its very own royal palace, the exotic Royal Pavilion.
Would you like to go there?
Kristie has chosen a place for us to stay in Brighton. Listen to her telephone conversation and look at the map of Brighton.
When is our holiday?

· From September 14th for a week.
· Er, yes. Would you like to book it?

Dear Miss Daniels, Thank you for booking one of our holiday homes. Here are your directions. When you come into the city you’re on Western Road. Go along this street past the Clock Tower on the left, then go over the bridge and turn right into North Street. Then go past the Royal Pavilion on your left. Go down North Street until the end and turn left. Then go along Grand Parade for about 100 metres and take the first right. The Benton House is on the left, next to a small car park. I hope you and your friends have a wonderful holiday. Best wishes, Susan Craven |
Check your road. Which number is the holiday home on the map?
It’s number 3.
Look at the map and listen. Which four places are we going to?
1. Go along Russel road and it’s on the right, opposite to the library.
- Right, Maddie is in the Shopping Center.
2. Go along Prince Albert Street, past the Brighton Square and it’s on the right, next to the Tourist Information Center.
- Aha, Martin went to the Town Hall.
3. Go up Preston Street and take the second right. It’s on the left, next to the bookshop.
I’m in the Internet Café.
4. Do down West Street until the end. Then turn left and go along King’s Road. It’s on the left, opposite the bus station. You can’t miss it.
And Kristie decided to go to the Pier.
So, my friends got to different places in Brighton. We agreed to meet at the Internet café at 6 p.m. They try to get here asking for directions.
Put each conversation in order.
1.
Maddie: Excuse me. Is there an Internet café near here?
Stranger: Yes, there is one in Regency Road.
Maddie: How can I get there?
Stranger: Go along this road and turn into Preston Street. Take the first right and the café is on the left, opposite the chemist’s.
Maddie: Thank you very much.
2.
Martin: Excuse me. Could you tell me the way to the Internet café?
Stranger: Oh, it’s quite far from here. OK. Go up Prince Albert Street past the park, turn into Ship Street and go along for 100 meters. Then turn left into Duke Street and go along until the end. Finally, cross West Street and you will see the café at the corner.
Martin: Great. Thanks a lot.
3.
Kristie: Excuse me. Where is the Internet café?
Stranger: Go along Kings Road past the Fishing Museum. Turn right into West Street. Go along and take the second left. It’s next to the bookshop. You can’t miss it.
