  Revision Lesson 9 A ride on a double-decker

Yesterday it was Gretel's afternoon off. "You needn't stay indoors 1, Gretel,"

Mrs Clark said. "You like paintings. Why don't you go to the Tate Gallery? There's a famous collection of modern paintings there."

"How can I get there?" Gretel asked.

"You must catch a bus. Number 88 will take you there."

Gretel loves the red double-decker buses in London. She always sits upstairs and tries to get the front seat. Yesterday she was lucky. The front seat was empty. Gretel had a wonderful view of London. The bus went round Trafalgar Square and down Whitehall. The conductor 2 collected Gretel's fare. "Tate Gallery please," she said. "Please tell me where I must get off."

After a while the conductor said, "Here's the Tate, Miss. You should get off here."

"I should, but I'm not going to," Gretel said. "I'm enjoying my ride on the bus. I'll have to go to the tate next week. May I have another ticket please?"
