Liz: Ok, that is great. How can I get there?
丽斯: 好，那太好了。我怎么去那里?
Chicago Resident: Go along the street and turn left at the second crossing. Then go on walking till you get to the first traffic light. The post office is right at the corner, beside a fruit shop.
芝加哥居民: 沿着这条街走，在第二个十字路口向左拐。然后一直走到第一个红绿灯。邮局就在拐角处，在一家水果店的旁边。

丽斯: 向左转，直到第一个红绿灯，水果店旁边。好的，非常感谢!
Chicago Resident: No problem.
