Alexander can't find his way to Ed-
ward's home.Edward gives him direc-
tions on the phone.

-Hi,Alexander.Where are you? At
 the corner of Taylor Avenue and
 Duke Street? Wait there.I'll be
 there in five minutes.

-It's not necessary. I drove the car
 from New Haven. Give me the directions.
 I'll find my way.

-All right. Go north on Duke Street
 to Shore Drive. You can't miss the
 large supermarket there. Turn left
 there.Continue on Stevenson Avenue
 to Fourth Street. Make a right turn
 and go to the middle of the block.
 I'll wait for you in front of the house.


-I got it.See you soon,Edward.

-I'm afraid we're lost.

-We'd better ask for directions.

-Okay.I'll ask at the next gas
 station.

 Stopping in front of a gas station:
-How do we get to York Village?

-You're going west, but you should
 be going east.

-Should we make a U-turn?

-Yes. Make a U-turn and go
 straight.Then turn to the right at
 the traffic lights. That's interstate 95.
 Take interstate 95 for about 15 miles
 and then get off at Roundview.You can't
 miss your destination.




-Thank you very much.
