SCRIPTS

Recording 8
1
A: Good morning, Harrisons Travel Agency, how can I help you?
B: Oh, good morning. I´m thinking of going on a skiing trip. Can you tell me about any good offers on at the moment?

2
A: Welcome to the York Hotel, are you checking in?
B: Yes, that´s right. My name´s Bob Clarke. I´ve got a booking.
A: Great. I´ll just get a few personal details from you.

3
A: Well, I don´t think I have any more questions. Is there anything you´d like to ask me about the job?
B: Yes, I was wondering if it involves a lot of trael, and what the working hours are.

1
A: This one´s a good deal. It costs £150 and airfares are included in that price. Once you land, you still need to get to the ski slopes. It´s a two-hour journey.
B: Yes, I know. I have a friend there who´s going to meet me and we´ll travel together.
A: Oh, that´s fine. I usually organise a coach ticket for my cuestomers, because a taxi is far too expensive. But a lift from a local is even better. What about skiing equipment?
B: I´ve already got all of that, but I would like to arrange insurance if that´s possible.
A: Yes,of course. And it´s a very good idea for a holiday like that.

2.
A: And it says here you´ll be staying with us for two nights, is that right?
B: Actually, my plans have changed since I made the booking and I was hoping I´d be able to stay for one extra night, if it´s possible.
A: I´ll just have a look and try to make sure you don´t have to change rooms on the third night. Yes, that´s fine, and in fact you´ll get a 25% discount as well.
B: Oh great. Do you have a gym or a sports centre in the hotel? And I need access to your business centre as well.
A: Yes, we have all of those. Now your room is up on the tenth floor, and the elevators are right behind you. You´ll actually be on the same floor as the business centre, and it´s clearly signposted. The gym is down on this level and so is the restaurant. You need to go there in the morning for breakfast.

A: Now, according to your CV, you´ve lived and worked in a lew different countries, haven´t you?
B: That´s right. I was born here in England and my family emigrated to Australia when I was very young.
A: But your longest employment so far was in America if I´m not mistaken?
B: That´s right. I moved there once I´d graduated and worked for five years before coming back to England in January.
A: Right. And you´ve worked briefly in accounts but in sales, mostly...Is that the area you are still interested in working in? We have a very strong sales department.
B: Actually, I´m hoping to move into the area of marketing I´ve always been interested in it and it was my major at university.
A: I see, Well, with your references I´m sure we can discuss it.
