Ariel Dante I know someone in London. His name’s Tom Schulz. He’s from Austria,
but he works in London. He’s really cool, speaks English, French and German, and
he’s a brilliant guitar player. He’s married to a famous Brazilian singer. But I think
he’s on holiday at the moment so maybe he isn’t in London.

Toni Perez Oh, what a pity!

Simone Blanc I know somebody you could contact. My friend Chris lives in London.

Toni Perez Chris? What’s he like?

Simone Blanc She. She’s a woman! She’s fantastic – very warm and friendly.
She works in the British Museum, actually. She’s brilliant – she speaks about five
languages. She knows a lot about the history of London. I’m sure she would be
happy to show you around.

Toni Perez That would be great! What’s her surname?

Simone Blanc Her surname’s Cross. You can message her here: Chris Cross

Martin Teal Cross? That’s strange. I know an Irish woman in London with the
same surname. But her first name’s Tina. We were on a skiing course together
last winter. I think she’s a tour guide, but I can’t understand why – she’s very quiet
and she isn’t very friendly. She wasn’t very popular on the course, to be honest!

Simone Blanc Wait a minute – Tina Cross? From Ireland? I think it’s the same
person. Her full name is Christina Cross. Her friends call her Chris, but some
people call her Tina. She works as a tour guide in the British Museum.

Chris Cross Yes, that’s me. Nice to hear from you again, Martin Teal! Thanks
for your kind words, Simone Blanc! I’d love to get together with you in London,
Toni Perez. Send me a message when you get here!
