trip there. One morning I out to visit a famous museum, but I didn’t know way to go, so I stopped a strange and asked, “ Excuse me, does this street lead(通向) to the Grand Museum?”
“Yes,” he answered. “Go along this street and turn left and turn left at the second crossing. You can’t it.”
So I two blocks(街区) and turned to my left, but the museum there. Then I asked a second stranger. He said, “Go along this street and turn left at the second crossing.” But I couldn’t find the museum. I asked a third stranger and he said the same thing.
This time I found the Grand Museum. Just then walked up and said. “Excuse me, where’s the nearest b ?” I answered , “Go along this street and turn left at the second crossing!”
