Conversation 1
Customer: I’d like to book a vacation to CDG next month, from the 16th to the 19th, with flight and hotel for two.
Travel agent: Ok, let me just check for you. Actually, if you’d like to stay an extra day, we have a 5 day, 4 night package from the 16th to the 20th. That’s cheaper than staying for three nights.
Customer: That sounds great! I’ll take it.
Travel agent: And you could upgrade those flights to first class for £50 more per person. Would you like to do that?
Customer: No, thanks. Economy’s fine.

Tourist (f): Excuse me, do you know which stop I need to get off at for the convention centre?
//NOTES: [音] get of fat for//
Local (f): Yes, you need to get off at High Street. That’s just three stops from here. But you’ll need to walk a bit to get to the convention centre. It’s a three minute walk from the bus stop.
Tourist: Thanks, that’s really helpful. Could you tell me which way to go from the bus stop?
Local: I’m getting off at that stop too. I can show you.
Tourist: Thanks, I’d really appreciate that!
