– Извините! Здесь где-то плавательный бассейн должен быть, вы не знаете?

– Здесь два плавательных бассейна: один по этой улице, примерно с полмили, второй вот по этой улице, примерно на таком же расстоянии. Первый бассейн длиной двести футов, и там, говорят, вода морская, и там народу немного, но он дорогой. А вот тот, что по этой улице, он в длину там дорожки по сто футов, там всегда много купальщиков – в основном это подростки – и он намного дешевле. Там и аквапарк есть, но туда вход отдельный.

– Спасибо большое!

– Пожалуйста.

In British English:

– Excuse me! There should be a swimming pool somewhere here, do you know where?

– Actually there are two swimming pools around here: one is over there, along this street, it’s about half a mile, I think, and the other one is over there, go along that street, again it’s about half a mile walk. The first one has swimming paths two hundred feet long and they say that the water in the pools is real sea water. There aren’t many swimmers there and it’s very expensive. The other one over there along that street has swimming paths a hundred feet long, it’s always crowded, mainly by teenagers, but it’s much cheaper. There is a water park there as well, but then you have to go through a different entrance.
