Some students asked me to start a thread so you could post your monologues. I prefer that you DON’T write down your monologue, only practice saying it aloud. But AFTER you describe your house in class, you can do this Writing Exercise, OK? Not before. Do NOT learn your monologue by heart! Preparing it only means thinking about it and saying sentences aloud, not writing it! I’m more interested in a Speaking Exercise, not in a Writing Exercise. OK? So wait, please!

Asking for directions in Getafe
6.16
Peter Excuse me, could you tell me: Where is the train station? Is it far from here?
Eva Err…. it’s about ten minutes on foot.
Peter Oh well, it’s near here.
Eva Yes. It’s very easy to get there. Go straight on, and on, and on, until Plaza de la Constitución (Constitution Square). There, you will see the Town Hall in front of you, and then, turn right, at Calle Madrid. It’s the main street.
Then after about 100 meters you will find a small church in a street on the right Called Hospitalillo. Go straight on, past this church, along the main street, and you will see there are many shops. Keep on until you get to a fountain. It looks like the Cybeles Fountain in Madrid, but smaller and uglier. Then turn left, go straight on, and on and finally you will find the Train Station. You can’t miss it!!
Peter Thank you very much, bye
