One morning, Anna, a tourist from Vietnam, was staying at a hotel in Paris. She wanted to visit the Eiffel Tower but wasn’t sure how to get there. Anna went down to the hotel reception and asked the receptionist for help. She said, 'Excuse me, could you tell me how to get to the Eiffel Tower from here?' The receptionist smiled and explained, 'Of course. From the hotel, walk straight for about five minutes until you see the main street. Then take bus number 42. It will take you directly to the Eiffel Tower. The bus stop is just around the corner.' Anna repeated the directions to make sure she understood and thanked the receptionist. On her way, she asked a local man near the bus stop, 'Excuse me, is this the right bus to the Eiffel Tower?' The man confirmed and said, 'Yes, this bus goes directly there. You’ll need about 15 minutes.' Anna felt more confident, got on the bus, and was excited to see the famous landmark soon.
