Question

【题目】Hey, Jina!

I’m so glad you’re coming to stay! Let me give you some directions from the airport. You can also download an underground map from the London Underground’s website (www.tfl.gov.uk). Anyway, I hope you will understand my instructions!

From Heathrow, get on the underground – there’s only the Piccadilly Line there. You’ll pass a lot of stations, but you need to get off and change at Piccadilly Circus. From there, you should take the Bakerloo Line to Oxford Circus. It’s only one stop, so don’t miss it! At Oxford Circus, you have to change again. You need the red Central Line. It’s a bit complicated , so make sure you get the right platform. Head to Marble Arch. It’s just two stops away – the one after Bond Street. My house is really close to Marble Arch Station – it’s really convenient. Just give me a call when you arrive and I’ll come to meet you!

It’s not the shortest route here, but I think it’s the simplest. If you have any problems, just ask the other passengers. The underground staff will always help you, too.

Looking forward to seeing you soon!

Love,

Sally
