Observation

There’s a street in my town which is very popular. It’s St. Louis Street. When you walk through St. Louis Street
you can do whatever you want. If you want to buy interesting books you can visit Thomas Cook Bookstore
which is in front of a delicious Mexican restaurant. You also have to eat Tacos in this place. They are spicy and
hot. Next to the Mexican restaurant, to the right, there’s a hotel with small shops. It’s the Barclay’s Hotel. But if
you really want to have lots of fun, the Skating Rink is awesome. It’s between BCR Bank and the Shoe store.
On the corner, next to Sports Center, you can visit a 5 & 10 discount store. You’ll be amazed at the prices. But if
you want to work out and be in shape, there’s a Sports Center next to Thomas Cook bookstore. One of the most
visited places is Dunkin’ Doughnuts, with its famous cinnamon rolls. It’s between the City Hall and the
bookstore. If you visit my town, you won’t regret it. It will be an enjoyable experience.

1. Could you tell me where the bank is?

2. Where is Thomas Cook Bookstore located?
3. How can you get to the Hotel?
4. Excuse me; Do you know where the Barclay’s Hotel is?
