Dialogue 2

The driver of a British registered car addresses the police officer.

Driver (D): Excuse me, how do I get to Zhytomyr then? Can you tell me the way?

Police officer (P): Of course, do you have a road map? Then it’s easier to explain.

The man goes back to his car, opens the boot, takes out a road map and spreads it out on the bonnet of his car.

P: We are right here now.

D: Yes, I see.

P: First you have to go through the next village and then on to Makariv until you get to big busy crossroads. When you approach the crossroads, watch the road signs. You haven’t got the right of way. Then follow the blue signs for Zhytomyr.

D: If the route to the motorway is well signposted, it’ll be easy to find.

P: Have a nice trip.
