gifts of the month hi everyone I'm
Bridget and welcome to today's lesson
the topic for this lesson is ten phrases
to survive at the station let's get
started I'd like to go to I'd like to go
to I'd like to go to this hotel when you
tell someone I'd like to go to this town
the person selling you a ticket will be
able to tell you which train you need to
take to get there I'd like to go to
means this is the destination I want how
do I get there is this the right
platform for is this the right platform
for is this the right platform for the
train to Greenwich a platform is where
you wait for a train to pull up so if
you're on a platform and you aren't sure
if you're on the right one for the train
you need you might ask someone else
who's standing there excuse me is this
the right platform for the train to
Greenwich and they will tell you if
you're in the right place what time is
the last train what time is the last
train to San Francisco you might ask
someone what time is the last train
depending on which city are in the last
train of a day might be at maybe 10:00
p.m. for example you're going to want to
make sure you get to the station to get
that last train where do I change for
where do I change for where do I change
for the express train when you're taking
a train sometimes you might need to do a
transfer at a particular station this
means if you're on one train you might
have to get off at a certain train
station and wait for another train
that'll take you all the rest of the way
to where you need to go asking where do
I change for the Express train you're
asking
what station do I need to get out off
the train and wait for the correct train
where can I buy a ticket where can I buy
a ticket where can I buy a ticket in
town you should ask where to buy a
ticket so you know whether you need to
purchase your ticket on the train itself
or if you need to go up to a kiosk and
buy your ticket there it's always
important to know ahead of time where to
buy your ticket because you don't want
to get on a train and find out you were
supposed to buy your ticket at the
station how much is it - how much is it
- how much is it to the airport
you might ask this question to find out
how much it costs to take a train or a
bus or a taxi to where you need to go if
you get into a taxi for example and you
ask how much is it to the airport the
taxi driver will tell you
thirty dollars he'll tell you the price
you need to pay to get to the airport if
you're taking a train you might ask the
ticket seller how much is it to the
airport and the ticket seller will tell
you the train to the airport costs $10
for example that way you know how much
it costs to go to where you need to be
does this bus go - does this bus go -
does this bus go to the suburbs does
this bus go to is a way of asking
whether or not the bus that you're
looking at has the destination that you
need so you might get on the bus and ask
the bus driver does this bus go to the
suburbs whatever destination and the bus
driver will answer and tell you yes get
on or no you want a different bus what
time is the next bus what time is the
next bus what time will the next bus
arrive by asking what time is the next
bus you're asking when the bus is going
to come to the bus stop or whatever
station the bus will stop at this way
you know
time you need to be at that bus stop the
train is running late the train is
running late the train is running late
again this is something I say all the
time in New York City the train is
running late if the train is running
late that means you will probably be
running late when you get off the train
where are the ticket machines where are
the ticket machines where are the ticket
machines in this station a ticket
machine is a machine that you go to to
purchase your tickets you might see this
in any station whether it's a subway
station or a regular train station or
sometimes even a bus station there will
be kiosks that you can go to to enter
the information and purchase your ticket
