In the next English USA lesson you will learn how to request help with a map. You will also learn how to tell someone you possess an object [that is "have."]

In this lesson you will practice telling others what you possess (or have). Martin Learner has a car. He has arrived at the Seattle airport. He is going to drive his rented car to the city, but he doesn't know the way.

This is English USA on the Voice of America. Now, Lesson 10, Part 2.

Martin:

Excuse me.

Clerk:

Oh, good morning. May I help you?

Martin:

Yes, please. I'm looking for the market. Where is the market?

Clerk:

Leave the airport. Go to the city. Look for the signs.

Martin:

Do you have a map?

Clerk:

Yes, I have a map.

Martin:

Show me on the map please.

Martin:

O.K. Now. Where is the harbor?

Clerk:

The harbor?

Martin:

Yes. I'm going to take the ferry.

Clerk:

Oh, that harbor! It's near the market.

Tell me which street.

Look at the map. The market is here. The ferry is there.

Excuse me. Where is the market?
