Kate: Good morning. What can I do for you?
Claire: We’d like to go to Edinburg. Could you tell us, what’s the easiest way to get there?
Kate: Well, it depends. Will you need a car in Edinburg?
Lucy: Yes. We want to drive around. Scotland.
Kate: And have you got a car?
Claire: Yes, but I don’t want to drive all the way to Edinburg. It’s too far.
Kate: I see. Well, if you don’t want to drive up to Edinburg, then you want motorail you should put your car on the train in London.
Kate: It’s the easiest way to get there.
Lucy: Is it expensive?
Kate: Well, it’s not cheap. How many of you are going? Just the two of you?
Lucy: No, we’re going with two friends.
Kate: So there are four people travelling. That makes it cheaper.
Lucy: Well, less expensive…
Kate: And when are you travelling?
Lucy: We must be in Edinburg on the tenth of August.
Kate: Are you going to Edinburg for the festival?
Claire: Yes. My sister’s a ballet dancer…
Kate: Are you in a ballet at the festival?
Lucy: Yes, I am.
Kate: Well, isn’t that nice?
Claire: Appearing for the first time at the festival, Miss Lucy Douglas…
Lucy: Please, Claire…
Kate: There’s a train leaving London in the evening. You’ll be in Edinburg at 7 o’clock the next morning. Is that all right?
Claire: That’s fine, isn’t it Lucy?
Lucy: Yes, it is. We can have breakfast in Edinburg!
Kate: Exactly! You should go to the Waverley Lodge for breakfast. It’s opposite the station. Do you know where you are staying?
Claire: No, we don’t, I’m afraid.
Kate: Well, if you are going to be in Edinburg during the festival, then you should book rooms now.
Claire: That’s a good idea… Could you do it for us?
Kate: No problem. Which do you prefer, a hotel or bed and breakfast?
Lucy: Oh, Claire let’s go to a bed and breakfast. It’ll be cheaper than a hotel.
Claire: All right. Could you find us a nice bed and breakfast, where we can relax?
Kate: No problem. I think you should go to the Anderson Lodge. It’s very comfortable. You’ll find it very relaxing.
Lucy: Is it in Edinburg?
Kate: No, it’s not. But it’s not far from the city. And there is a bus stop opposite the Anderson Lodge if you don’t want to drive.
Claire: Why don’t you book us two double rooms at the Anderson Lodge?
Lucy: We’ll be staying one week from the tenth of August.
Kate: Very good. I’ll book two double rooms for one week from the tenth of August. And your train tickets, of course.
Claire: When will our tickets be ready?
Kate: Your tickets will be ready in the morning.
Lucy: Can we pay by cheque?
Kate: Of course you can pay by cheque. If you want you can pay tomorrow. And could you please also bring your car documents with you when you come tomorrow.
Claire: Of course. So we’ll see you tomorrow.
Lucy: Thank you for your help.
Kate: Not at all. Good bye. See you later. I’m sure you’ll enjoy yourselves in Edinburg…
