[Q]: M: Yes, Miss. Bums Park is about half a mile from here. Do you want to take a bus or walk? The bus stop is on the other side of the street if you want to take a bus. W: Well, I'd like to walk if it's within walking distance. M: All right. We are now on Main Street. Go this way along, until you come to First Street. W: I see. M: Go straight along Main Street as far as First Street. Turn left onto First Street and walk another two blocks. Then you'll come to Lincoln Street? W: Lincoln Street. M: Yes, then turn right. Walk for a few minutes. Bums park begins at the comer of Lincoln and Fifth. W: Thank you very much, officer. M: You're welcome. Good-bye. What was said before this conversation?

[A]: W: I was amazed when I heard Tony played piano so expertly! From the way he talked, I thought he was just starting his lessons.

[Q]: W: Well, I wasn't paying attention when I started to cross the street, and I stepped in front of a taxi. I didn't realize it was still moving. M: Can you walk? W: Not very well. M: Where does it hurt? W: My side hurts when I take a step? M: Okay, don't try to walk anymore. Don't worry. An ambulance is on the way. You know, you're very lucky; you could have easily been killed in the accident. W: Yes, I guess I could have. M: You'll have to fill out a form. Do you have any identification with you? W: I have my passport. By the way, how did you get here so fast? M: Someone dialed 911 and reported the accident. We were in the area and got a radio call. It only took a minute or so to get here.
