Policeman:Sure.
Linhua:Can you tell me how to get to center park?
Policeman:You can take the subway.
Linhua:Oh,I just can't figure out the subway system at all.
As soon as I get underground I lose my sense of direction.

Linhua:O. K. ,do you know where the nearest subway station is?
Policeman:It's over there across the street in front of the cinema.
Linhua:Thanks a lot.
Policeman:You're welcome.

Dialogue C
A:How did you enjoy your subway trip yesterday,Yang?
B:Very much and I found it very funny,too.
A:Really?When did you take your trip there?
B:I was down at the Lilan Station at 7∶30. I guess that was a bad time to travel. When a train pulled in I was simply swept in by the rush of people from behind.
A:Oh,poor you!But did you manage to find a seat?
B:That was out of the question. The train left the station before I was able to get back my breath. I planned to get off at the Bridge Station for a visit,but I found myself landed at an entirely new one.
