Mrs Lee:   So, tell me about my trip to Europe. Will I leave on Saturday or Sunday?

Secretary:   I’ve booked your ticket for Saturday, Mrs Lee. Let me see, that’s the 11th and your plane leaves at 10 a.m.

Mrs Lee:   So, I’ll get to the airport at about eight.

Secretary:   Yes. And you’ll arrive in London at eleven fifty – you won’t stop in Frankfurt this time. Mr Porter from our Amsterdam office will arrive at about the same time, so you can go together to your meeting at the factory – no time to go to the hotel, I’m afraid.

Mrs Lee:   OK. And after the meeting?

Secretary:   You’ll have the afternoon free. Then in the evening you’ll meet Jane and Peter Cook.

Mrs Lee:   Is that at their home?

Secretary:   Not this time. You’re going to meet in a Japanese restaurant near your hotel. Then the next morning you’ll go to Paris on the train.

Mrs Lee:   Yes, that’s better than flying again.

Man:   Hello, can I help you?

Chloe:   Yes, I’d like to go on a sailing holiday this summer in Italy.

Man:   Have you been sailing before?

Chloe:   No. I wanted to go to Sweden last year, but I didn’t have enough money.

Man:   Well, it is quite expensive. Sailing holidays start at about three hundred pounds.

Chloe:   Yes, my friends went in August last year. They paid four hundred and fifty pounds each. The most I can pay is three hundred and eighty pounds.

Man:   Well, that should be enough.

Chloe:   When’s the cheapest time to go?

Man:   Well, August is the most expensive month. September and October are cheaper.

Chloe:   October’s too late for me, so I’ll go in September.

Man:   Would you like to be by the sea or a lake?

Chloe:   Well, I’d prefer a lake in the mountains.

Man:   OK. The Aqua Centre in north Italy will be best for you. That costs £370.

Chloe:   OK. Can I pay by credit card? I haven’t got my cheque book.

Man:   Yes, that’s fine.

Jan:   Hi, Steve!

Steve:   Hi, Jan. I’m going to go to London on the train. Come with me!

Jan:   But it’s cheaper by bus.

Steve:   I’ve got a student travel card. You can get cheap train tickets with it.

Jan:   That sounds good. How much does it cost?

Steve:   A card for six months is sixteen pounds.

Jan:   So how do I get one?

Steve:   You need some photographs – one for the card and one for the form.

Jan:   Oh. There’s a photo machine in the post office. It gives you four photos for three pounds.

Steve:   So does the one in the library. But I went to a photographer’s shop. It was cheaper.

Jan:   I don’t have to show my passport or my driving licence, do I?

Steve:   That’s right, Jan, you only need a letter from your college.

Jan:   I’ll ask my teacher for one.

Steve:   And then you take everything to the tourist office, by the travel agent’s.

Jan:   Great, next time you go to London, I’ll come too!

Friend:   Peter, you’re learning to drive, aren’t you? Do you go to the AA Driving School?

Peter:   Actually it’s called the ABC Driving School.

Friend:   Is it expensive? I want to learn to drive.

Peter:   It’s cost me a hundred and forty pounds already. I’ve had ten lessons and each one is fourteen pounds.

Friend:   Is that for an hour?

Peter:   Mm … less than that – about three quarters of an hour.

Friend:   I see. And is the teacher’s car new?

Peter:   Yes, and it’s not a big car so parking’s easy, but it doesn’t go very fast!

Friend:   When are you going to take your driving test?

Peter:   I failed it last week. The traffic lights were red but I didn’t see them and I couldn’t brake in time.

Friend:   Never mind. You can take the test again. Tell me about your teacher. Is he friendly?

Peter:   He’s OK, he’s quite young and interesting to talk to, but my father will give me my next lessons. He’s cheaper!

Friend:   Well, good luck!
