Seeing the Travel Agent (Mr. and Mrs. Baker wanted to make a trip, so they went to a travel agency last week. A travel agent, Miss Smith, received them.) Mr. Baker: Hello, we’d like to see some of your brochures. We’re thinking of making a trip. Miss Smith: Here’re some. Where would you like to go?
4
Mr. Baker: Well, perhaps to the Hong Kong SAR or perhaps to R.O. Korea. We’re not sure. Have you any suggestion? Miss Smith: Well, we have a nice package tour to Australia. Mrs. Baker: No, not Australia. Miss Smith: We also have now a group tour to Hong Kong. Mr. Baker: Do you mean Hong Kong SAR? Miss Smith: It leaves once a week. Mrs. Baker: What about a cruise?
5
Miss Smith: Yes, we have boats that go to many Pacific Islands. Mr. Baker: What exactly is included in these trips? Miss Smith: Please read the brochures. Cruises include all food and a ship as your hotel. You may visit many exciting ports. Mrs. Baker: What about the package tours and the group tours? Miss Smith: They all include a first-class hotel, city tours, baggage handling, and some even include meals. We have to know which one you want before we can tell you everything. Mr. Baker: I think we’ll just take these brochures home and study them. Thank you very much for your help.
