2 Visitor handbook | Introduction
I am delighted to introduce this language handbook, created by the british Council. It has been specially designed for athletes and other visitors who will be coming to the United kingdom for the London 2012 Olympic Games. We hope there is something here for everyone. For those of you who wish to take the opportunity to improve your language skills, we hope you find the specialist sports vocabulary and the dialogues helpful. For native speakers of English there are some basic phrases in different languages that you might find useful when communicating with your fellow athletes and people from other countries.
The London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games has been working with the British Council over the last few years on a number of major initiatives to involve people from all over the world in the London 2012 experience. These include International Inspiration, London 2012’s international sports legacy programme which uses the power of sport to enhance the lives of millions of young people from 20 countries around the world. We have also worked together on a variety of cultural projects, as part of the Cultural Olympiad, and educational projects as part of Get Set, the London 2012 education programme.
For more language-learning materials, please view the English for the Games materials on www.britishcouncil.org/english- for-the-games
I hope you enjoy using these resources and developing your language skills during your stay in the UK.

Ways of getting around London
Which four pictures above go with these descriptions?
1. These (E) run everywhere in London and are very convenient and frequent. They are cheap to use. You can see more of London from one, too.
2. If you have a lot of luggage one of these ( ) is useful, but more expensive. You can book them in advance, catch them at a rank, or hail them in the street – wave at them and shout! Careful – they can cost between £3 and £5 a mile – more at busy times and in the evenings.
3. For short journeys, you can even hire one of these ( ). There are lots of docking stations and it costs about one pound for 24 hours, or about £5 for a week.
4. Transport in London is very convenient, but sometimes it’s quicker to do this! For example, it is 250 metres from Leicester Square to Covent Garden – you can get there by this method ( ) in about 5 minutes. And a single step can use 200 muscles! So, it’s free, and good for you too!
Unscramble the words and match them to the pictures.
One of these carries lots of people in the street subes (E)
You can hire one of these for a day cibylsec ( )

Anna asks for directions.
Excuse me, can you help me?
hello.
Is Westminster bridge road near here?
I’m sorry, I can’t help. I don’t know.
Ok, thank you. Excuse me, can you help?
Yes, what’s the matter?
I’m looking for Westminster bridge road. Is it near here?
Let me see… where do you want to go?
I’m looking for the London Eye.
Oh yes, that’s very near. Go straight down there, to the crossing by the traffic lights. Cross over, then turn left and walk down York road. Go about 200 metres, then turn right. that’s Chichely Street, I think. Walk down there, across Jubilee Gardens, and the Eye is in front of you. County hall is on the left.
I see. Go to the crossing and turn right?
no, turn left!
And then walk 200 metres and turn right?
that’s it. You can’t miss it!
thanks very much for your help.

Clothing sizes in the UK are different from the rest of the world. A ladies’ size 10 in the UK is like a size 8 in the US or 38 in Europe. Shoe sizes are different, too – men’s size 8 shoes are like size 42 in Europe or even 8½ in the US or Australia. Be careful – size 8 doesn’t mean 8 inches – it’s actually 10¼ inches (about 26 cm)!
