I have a question. I'd like to go to the ABC library. What is the cheapest way of transportation to get there?

自然な表現

I have a question. I'd like to go to the ABC library. What is the cheapest way of transportation to get there?

1. You could also say "What would be the cheapest mode of transport to use to get there?"
It would be walking there. It would take you about forty minutes. The bus would cost ten dollars and would get you there in twenty minutes and a taxi would get you there in ten minutes for twenty-five dollars. So which of those options do you prefer?

Well, is that so? If so, I would rather walk to the library. It seems that it is a little cluttered around here, but isn't it difficult to get to?

自然な表現

Well, is that so? If so, I would rather walk to the library. It seems that it is a little cluttered around here, but is it difficult to get to?

1. It would be more appropriate to use "is" here since using "isn't" would imply that you believe it is difficult to get there, and you're asking whether you are right about that.
Not at all, there are arrows from here directing you to the ABC Library, just follow those arrows. The library is hard to miss it will be on your right next to a blue tall building.

What a relief. Then, there is no choice but I work there. Thank you for your kindness. Do you live around here?

自然な表現

What a relief. Then, there is no choice but to walk there. Thank you for your kindness. Do you live around here?

2. I believe you meant to say "walk" here.
You're welcome. It's the least I can do my friend. Yes, I do. I live here. What about you? Where do you live?

I live in the adjacent city. My grand mother lives here and has been sick these days, so I came here to see her. She asked me to give some books back to the library, so I have to go there instead of her.

自然な表現

I live in the adjacent city. My grandmother lives here and has been sick these days, so I came here to see her. She asked me to give some books back to the library, so I have to go there instead of her.

1. This is written as one word.
2. You can also say "return some books to..." here.
Oh, I see. I'm sorry to hear that. I hope she gets well soon. What seems to be bothering your grandmother?

She has been suffering from stomach cancer. She underwent surgery last week and now she is getting better. She likes reading books.

自然な表現

She has been suffering from stomach cancer. She underwent surgery last week and is now getting better. She likes reading books.
