Question

Calvin needs to go to New York for a meeting this Saturday. It’s sunny. It’s his first time to go to New York, so he doesn’t know his way(路) around New York. The meeting is in Peterson Building on 34th Steet and it starts at ten o’clock. He wants to get there on time, so he asks two American boys for help.

“Excuse me, could you tell me where 34th Street is?” asks Calvin.

“Sure,” answers one of the boys. “It’s not far from here. And you can just walk along this street and turn left at the first crossing. Then you can see it on your right.”

“No. Don’t listen to him. He is not telling you the right place. You can just take the No.7 bus and get off at the third stop,” says the other boy.

Then the first boy says, “OK. But the third stop is not 34th Street. It’s 35th Street.”
