Getting Around

By now you have learned how to introduce yourself and your family. You have learned how to talk about your school a little. It is time for you to look around and walk around a little to describe what you see, what you want, and what you need. You might want a new car instead of an old one. You might want a small computer instead of a large one. You may need to make phone calls in order to get things you need or want. In this module, you will learn how to get around....a little more.
