Two colleagues at the office
Heather: Hey David, how’s it going?
David: Hi Heather, not bad. Hey, do you know how to get to The Daniels Company? I’ve never been there before and I’ve got a meeting there.
Heather: Are you walking or taking the subway?
David: The subway.
Heather: Ok, it will take some time. Take the number 9 from West 72nd street. Get off at Times Square and change to the A train. Go across town and get off at Grand Central station. Go above ground and walk north on Park Avenue. You’ll see it there.
David: Just a moment, let me write this down!
Heather: Ok, take the number 9 from West 72nd street. Get off at Times Square and change to the A train. Got it?
David: Yes, thanks. Now, once I get to Times Square, which train do I take?
Heather: Change to the A.
David: Thanks Heather. How long does it take?
Heather: It takes about a half an hour. When is your meeting?
David: It’s tomorrow at nine. I’ll leave at eight-thirty.
Heather: That’s during rush hour. You should leave before then, at eight.
David: OK. Thanks Heather.
Heather: Not a problem.
