Lesson Seventy-three The way to King Street
Last week Mrs. Mills went to London.
She does not know London very well,
And she lost her way.
Suddenly, she saw a man near a bus stop.
‘I can ask him the way,’
She said to herself.
‘Excuse me,’ she said.
‘Can you tell me the way to King Street, Please?’
The man smiled pleasantly.
He did not understand English!
He spoke German.
He was a tourist.
Then he put his hand into his pocket,
And took out a phrasebook.
He opened the book and found a phrase.
He read the phrase slowly.
‘I am sorry,’ he said.
‘I don’t’ speak English.’
Lesson Seventy-five Uncomfortable shoes
Do you have any shoes like these?
What size?
Size five.
What colour?
Black.
I’m sorry.
We don’t have any.
But my sister bought this pair last month.
Did she buy them here?
No, she bought them in the U.S.
We had some shoes like those a month ago,
But we don’t have any now.
Can you get a pair for me, please?
I’m afraid that I can’t.

And the year before last.
But they’re not in fashion this year.
These shoes are in fashion now.
They look very uncomfortable.
They are very uncomfortable.
But Women always wear uncomfortable shoes!
