6. Read and translate the text.-Today Alexander and his foreign friends are going to the rock concert “Music,
help!” in the Polytechnic Museum. Alex lives on the outskirts of Moscow. He does
not know how to get to this place, so he asks his father:
-Dad, can you tell me the way to the Polytechnic Museum? How can I get there
quickly?
-Sure. It’s situated in the very centre of Moscow. Take the metro and get off at the
Lubianka station. Then go up the stairs to the street. There is a square opposite the
exit, called Novaya Ploshchad. The Polytechnic Museum is a big long building just
in front of you. Go straight across the Square. It is behind the bus stop.
-Thanks, Dad.
Alexander goes to the local metro station. He leaves the entrance to his block of
flats, walks along the side street, turns left and then right. It takes him only a tenminute walk to get to the metro station. Alex goes down the stairs and takes a train.
In forty minutes he is at the Lubianka station. He turns left to the escalator. Today
the station is not so crowded. He goes up. He sees the old building of the
Polytechnic Museum across the square and walks straight towards it. At the
crossroads next to the Museum he meets with his friends – Peter, Jane and Nora.
They are glad to see Alex. They come into Museum hall. The concert starts in a
quarter of an hour.
