 (468) (A) Excuse me, sir.

                            Could you tell me where this restaurant is?

                     (B) I know where it is.

                            You can walk though this building,

                            and then keep walking straight for 5 minutes

                            to get there faster than driving.

                     (A) That should be easy.

                            Thank you for the advice, sir.

                           [본문 해석]

                             (A) 실례합니다. 선생님. 이 레스토랑이 어딘지 좀 알려 주시겠어요?

                                       (B) 어딘지 알겠네요. 이 건물을 지나서 곧장 5분만 걸어가면,

                                             운전해서 가는것보다 일찍 도착할거예요.

                                       (A) 쉽게 찾아갈 수 있겠네요. 알려주셔서 감사합니다, 선생님.

  Tips=[2]= 아래 대화문에 등장하는 상황에서처럼 도움을 받았을 때,

                           상대방에게 "Thank you"라고 간단하게 답하는것보다

                           구체적으로 "알려주어서 고맙다" 는 뜻으로

                           "Thank you for the advice."라고 답하는것이 적절하다.
