Y: Now that we're at the park, where would you like to go first, Jake?
J: I don't know. What interesting things can we see and do here?
Y: Well, Flower Land, fountain performances, children's rides … Oh! This is interesting - here's an underwater corridor.
J: That does sound interesting. How do we get there?
Y: Let me check the map on my phone … From here, we should go north, and then turn left and follow the main road until we reach the second path on the right. Then we turn right on the path and follow it for about three hundred metres until we come to an intersection with a washroom. Then we should turn left on another path. After about 150 metres, we'll be at the underwater wetland corridor.

Tapescript
L: Oh, that sounds a bit far!
J: Well, maybe we can rent bikes to get there.
Y: No, we can't. There are four-wheel cycles, but they are only allowed on certain fixed routes. Let me check the map again … Oh, we're actually very near the cycle rental place now. We could go there first, if you like.
L: Yes, OK, it would be fun! Hopefully we can get close to the underwater wetland corridor, and I'd also like to take a pedal boat on Wali Lake afterwards.
J: Sounds like we've got a lot of things to do.
Y: Yes, so we'd better get started.

Post Listening
A: Excuse me.
B: Yes, how can I help you?
A: I hear that this park has a very nice flower meadow. I was wondering if you could tell me how to find it?
B: Oh, you mean Flower Land? It's in the northwest corner of the North Park.
A: It sounds pretty far from here.
B: Yes, it is. It's about two-and-a-half kilometres from here on foot. But it's a lovely walk if you have the time.
A: But it's getting late. I was really hoping to see it while the sun was still shining.
B: True. Here's what you can do. You can take the underground. The Forest Park South Gate underground station is right over there. Go north one stop to the Lincuiqiao underground station. Walk north about eight hundred metres, and you'll see the park and walk about another four hundred metres. You'll see a path leading to Flower Land on your right. It's just a short distance away from there.
Sample Dialogue
A: It still seems like quite a trip. Is it really worth it?
B: Oh, yes. The sunflowers are in full bloom right now.
A: Well, I'll have to think about it. By the way, what is this wetland underwater corridor that everyone is talking about?
B: Oh, it's really neat. The South Park has this huge wetland area in the northwest corner. And there's a path that goes through the water. It has glass on both sides so that you don't get wet. You walk down into the water, and get a chance to see the plants and animals through the glass walls.
A: Is it far?
B: A little. It's about a kilometre away. Go north from here, and then take the first left. Continue until the road comes to a T, and then turn right. Follow that path north for about three hundred metres until you come to an intersection. Turn right. After about 150 metres, you'll be at the south end of the wetland. There is a path there which goes north. Take it and it will lead you to the underwater corridor. You can't miss it.
A: Thank you so much!
B: You're welcome.
