Situations
Act out the following situations as freely and fluently as you can, making use of all the patterns you have learned.
1. At the Hotel
Mr. Allen has just arrived in Germany. At the hotel where he is staying he asks the clerk where the cathedral, palace, museum, etc., are and if there is a restaurant down town near by. The clerk answers his questions, shows him the locations on the map of the city and tells him how to get to the various buildings.
2. At the Restaurant
Mr. Schneider meets Mr. Keller, whom he hasn't seen for a long time. Mr. Keller often has to go to Frankfurt, but he's staying in Munich for two months now. He asks Mr. Schneider if he'd like to go and eat. Mr. Schneider knows a restaurant on Bahnhofstrasse where they go and order Bratwurst and Sauerkraut and beer to drink. Mr. Keller buys some cigars too.
3. Customs
Mr. Allen goes through customs. The official asks him where he is going and what he has to declare. Mr. Allen does not always understand and has to ask the official to repeat and speak slowly. He tells the official then how many cigars, cigarettes, etc. he has.
4. Looking around Town
Mr. Köhler meets Mr. Becker at the hotel to show him the town. Mr. Becker is not acquainted with the city, but he would like to see the museum, cathedral, palace, city hall, Hofbräuhaus, Ratskeller, park, Königsplatz, etc. They take a bus through town, and Mr. Köhler points out the sights.
