Mr. English: Oh, that’s right. You’re here from the future. And you want to learn all about life in the 1990s. [We hear thunder.]
Tamara: What’s that?
Mr. English: Oh, that’s thunder.
Tamara: Thunder… Hmm. [We hear thunder again.] And that light in the sky… what is it?
Mr. English: That’s lightning. It’s a storm. A storm is coming! Look, it’s not sunny now. And it’s cold! There are dark clouds in the sky. [We hear rain.] Oh, it’s raining now! [We hear strong winds.] And it’s windy. Let’s go inside. [They come in from the rain.] Oh, where is our beautiful sunny day?
Tamara: I think the storm is beautiful. This is my first real storm.
Mr. English: But is it sunny in the future --all the time?
Tamara: [She laughs.] No, we have rain in the
twenty-first century. But only when we want rain. And there is no lightning, and there is no thunder.
Mr. English: Really? Well, I’d like to see the sun again today! I feel sad when the weather is bad.
ITS’ A GRAY DAY.
ITS’ A TERRIBLE DAY.
IT’S A GLOOMY DAY.
IT’S A DREARY DAY.

IT’S A BEAUTIFUL DAY WHEN WE’RE TOGETHER. AND RAIN OR SHINE, THERE’S NOTHING WRON G. AND WE’RE ALL FEELING ALL RIGHT.
IT’S A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN ANY WEATHER.
AND IT’S GONNA TO BE A BEAUTIFUL NIGHT.
Tamara: Thank you for the history lesson, Mr. English. Mr. English: The history lesson?
Tamara: Well, now I see that the weather is very important for people at the end of the twentieth century. You feel happy when it’s sunny, and sad when it’s not sunny.
Mr. English: Well, that is true for me --and for a lot of people. But tell me more about the weather in the twenty-first century.
Tamara: Oh, in the future, people can change the weather. The weather can’t change people.
Mr. English: Really?
Tamara: [She laughs.] Really!
Mr. English: Listen! It’s not rainy now. And where are those dark clouds? The sun is shining again! The weather is fine and I feel great!

[The telephone rings.]
Mr. English: Hello, this is Mr. English.
Tamara: Hi, this is Tamara.
Mr. English: How are you , Tamara?
Tamara: I’m fine but I’m lost. I’d like to read some books, so I’m looking for the public library. Can you help me?
Mr. English: Well, where are you now?
Ta mara: I’m at the corner of Main Street and First Avenue.
Mr. English: Oh, you are not far from the library. It’s at the corner of Main Street and Seventh Avenue.
Tamara: Main Street and Seventh Avenue.
Mr. English: I can meet you and show you the way.
Tamara: Oh, thank you, but that’s not necessary. I’ll find it. I’ll call you later.
Mr. English: Are you sure?
Tamara: I’m sure. Thanks again! Bye-bye!
Mr. English: Take care.
Tamara: Hum… I’m on First Avenue and Main Street. And I’m looking fo r Seventh Avenue and Main Street. Is it this way… or that way? Excuse me.
Man: Yes?
Tamara: Can you tell me how to get to the library from here?
Man: From here?
Tamara: Yes, from here?
Man: To the library from here?
Tamara: Yes, to the library from here.
Man: Hmm… how to get to the library from here?
Tamara: Yes, how to get to the library from here. Can you tell me? Can you tell me how to get to the library from here?
Man: Of course!
OH, YOU CAN TAKE A BUS,
OR YOU CAN TAKE A TRAIN.
OR IF YOU HAVE THE TIME,
YOU CAN WALK DOWN MAIN STREET. GO TEN BLOCKS. IT’S NOT VERY FAR. WHEN YOU GET TO THE TRAFFIC LIGHT, THERE YOU ARE!
Tamara: Thank you!
Man: No problem.
Tamara: [repeating the directions] You can take a bus, or you can take a train. Or if you have the time, you can walk down Main Street. Go ten blocks. It’s not very far. When you get to the traffic light, there you are! Oh, where am I? [She calls Mr. English.]
Mr. English: [His telephone rings.] Hello?
Tamara: Mr. English?
Mr. English: Tamara, are you all right?
Tamara: I’m fine, but I’m still lost. I can’t find the library.
Mr. English: Where are you?
Tamara: Well, there’s a very big, gray animal in front of me. [We hear an elephant.] Some children are giving him some food. I think they are giving him peanuts. The animal is taking the peanuts with his big nose, and he’s putting the food into his mouth. Mr. English, this isn’t the library!
Mr. English: Tamara, you’re at the zoo! Just wait there, I’ll com e and help you.
Tamara: No, no, I’ll find it.
Mr. English: Are you sure? You’re walking the wrong way. Turn around and go down Main Street in the opposite direction.
Tamara: Ok, thanks.
Tamara: Listen. The library is near a big bus station. Ask someone for directions to the bus station and you’ll see the library.
Tamara: All right, Mr. English. Thanks for your help. [She sees a woman on the street.] Excuse me!
Woman: Yes?
Tamara: Can you tell me how to get to the bus station from here?
Woman: From here?
Tamara: Yes, from here.

TWELEVE BLOCKS
TO THE TRAFFIC LIGHT.
AT THE STATION,
YOU’LL SEE A BIG SIGN.
AND THERE,
A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE STANDING IN LINE. Tamara: I appreciate it.
Woman: My pleasure.
Tamara: [repeating the directions] Walk straight ahead and at the corner, turn right. Then go twelve blocks to the traffic light. At the station you’ll see a big sign. And there are a lot of people are standing in line. Oh, where am I? [She calls Mr. English.]
Mr. English: [His telephone rings.] Hello?
Tamara: Guess who.
Mr. English: Tamara.
Tamara: Mr. English, I’m so sorry to bother you again.
Mr. English: Don’t worry about i t, Tamara. Where are you now?
Tamara: Well, I’m inside a building. A lot of people are standing in line. But I have a feeling that this isn’t the bus station.
Mr. English: What are the people doing?
Tamara: Well, four people are standing behind windows. Now, a man in line is going to one window. He’s giving a little piece of paper to the woman behind the window. She is reading the paper. Now, she’s counting some money. She’s giving the money to the man. Now he’s counting the money. He’s putting the mo ney into his pocket. He’s saying good-bye to the woman. And now, he is walking away from the window.
Mr. English: Tamara, I think you’re at the bank. Look outside the front door, what’s there?
Tamara: Oh, there’s a park across the street.
Mr. English: I know that bank. I’ll be there in ten minutes. And please, wait for me outside the bank.
Tamara: OK. Thanks a lot.
Mr. English: Don’t mention it.
