Hi Barry,
Here are the directions to my house. When you get off the bus, walk 1) along Hope Street. Go 2) past the shopping centre and turn right 3) on Albert Street. Walk 4) down Albert Street to the entrance of the park. Go 5) into the park and follow the path all the way 6) through the park, then go 7) over the bridge. Walk across Green Street and you’re there. You can’t miss my house — it’s the one with the red door. See you on Tuesday.

Привет Барри,
Вот как добраться до моего дома. Когда ты выйдешь из автобуса, пройди по улице Надежды. Пройди мимо торгового центра и поверни направо на Альберт-стрит. Иди по Альберт-стрит до входа в парк. Иди по парку и следуй по тропинке до конца через парк, затем перейди через мост. Пройди через Грин-стрит, и ты на месте. Ты не пропустишь мой дом — он один с красной дверью. Увидимся во вторник.
