I'm Lost

On Sunday afternoon, Laura walks to the Two Towers alone, and under the arches every street looks the same. A woman with a little dog shows her the way, twice. Say you're lost, stop someone politely and ask where a place is, understand straight ahead, right and left, ask if it's far, and say thanks a lot.

THE STORY

It's Sunday afternoon, and Laura is walking to the Two Towers alone. Under the arches, every street looks the same, and her phone is dead. She stops a woman with a little dog, and asks the way. Ten minutes later, she meets the same woman again. This is the conversation you'll be able to say by the end of the lesson.
