Katharine wants to go out for lunch. She asks Barbara about restaurants nearby.
Katharine: I was wondering if there are any places to eat within walking distance?
Barbara: Well, across the street from the building is a shopping center. There’s a Mexican restaurant there, and a sandwich shop, and there’s a supermarket that has a pretty good salad bar.
Katharine: That sounds good.
Barbara: Then if you go out and turn right and head down to Apple Ridge Road—it’s the fi rst light—catty-corner from you is a bakery that has good croissants and coffee. There are a bunch of restaurants along Apple Ridge Road, but you couldn’t walk to them.
Katharine: Like what?
Barbara: Oh, about a mile down there’s a sushi place. Farther along, near the highway exit, is a good Chinese takeout and a Peruvian place.
Katharine: Great, thanks. Can I ask you one more thing? Is there a dry cleaners nearby?
Barbara: Yes. From here, you go out and turn left, then keep on this road for three blocks. You’ll go through one set of traffi c lights. At the second set of lights—it’s a big intersection—you turn right. That’s Plum Tree Road. Go down Plum Tree Road for another few blocks and it’s on the left.
Katharine: Thanks!
