Task 9

Script

Hello! I'm very pleased that you have decided to join one of our next London weekends. My name is Diana and I will be your resident guide during your stay in London. We shall arrive at the hotel at about 6:30 on Friday evening. Remember that we are staying at the Y Hotel in Great Russell Street--that's on the corner of Tottenham Court Road. After you've got to your room and you've had a chance to freshen up, I hope you'll join me for a short walk through the West End of London. Leaving the hotel at 7:30 sharp I shall be strolling down Charring Cross Road, turning off through part of Soho to Piccadilly Circus, then through Leicester Square to finish up at Trafalgar Square. On the way we'll pass a lot of the restaurants, theatres and cinemas that you'll be able to visit during your stay in the capital.

The walk should take about half an hour and when we get to

Trafalgar square you'll be free to go off and do whatever you like. Why not have a quick meal and then see one of the latest films in one of the many cinemas around Leicester Square.

If you haven't stayed out too late on Friday night, please join me at
