本期節目的topic:問路
朋友們伙人去逛街，通常都會去百貨公司(Department Store)，或者購物商場(Shopping Mall)，兩者有什么分別呢？Department Store是獨立的商店，里面有不同的部門(departments)，如電器部、化妝品部、服裝部等等，而Shopping Mall是一個大的地方，里面有不同的商店、餐廳、游樂設施及開放空間，所以要問怎樣去購物商場，可以說：Where is the shopping mall?（購物商場在哪里？）/Could you tell me the way to the shopping mall? / Could you tell me how to get to the
shopping mall?（可以告訴我怎樣去購物商場嗎？）或Could you give me directions to the shopping mall?（可以告訴我去購物商場的方向嗎？）。
【情景再現】
A: Excuse me. Could you tell me the way to the shopping mall?
A：不好意思，可以告訴我怎樣去購物商場嗎？
B: Certainly. Go straight down this street until you reach the corner, and then turn right.
A: Excuse me. Could you tell me the way to the shopping mall?
A：不好意思，可以告訴我怎樣去購物商場嗎？
B: Certainly. Go straight down this street until you reach the corner, and then turn right.
Keep walking until you see the McDonald's and then you go inside and then go out the backdoor,
turn left and cross the road and it's right there.
B：當然可以。沿路向前走直到轉角處，然后右轉。一直走到麥當勞，進去然后從后門走出，再左轉，過馬路就到了。
A: How long will it take?
A：要走多久？B：我想大約30分鐘。

【知識擴充】
人家向你問路，假如距離太遠，你可以告訴他：It's far from here. / It's a good distance.（離這里很遠）、You've got a long way to go.（你還要走很遠的路）/It's not within walking distance.（離這里太遠了，不宜步行）。既然路遠，最好搭車去：Take bus No. 1, and ask the bus conductor where to get off.（搭一號公車去吧，可以問司機哪兒下車）/You'd better take a taxi（最好搭出租車去）。 假如順路，你不妨說：I'm going there myself.（或It's on my route. / I'm walking that way.）。I'll lead you the way.（或I'll walk you there.）（我正要去那里，就給你帶路吧）。
