1、Sample Conversation

Receptionist:Thanks for calling Quality Inn.Morine speaking.

Caller:Hello.I'm interested in booking a room for the September long weekend.

Receptionist:I'm afraid we're totally booked for that weekend.There's a convention in town and we're the closest hotel to the convention centre.

Caller:Oh,I didn't realize.Well what about the weekend after that?

Receptionist:So...Friday the seventeenth?

Caller:Yes.Friday and Saturday.

Receptionist:It looks like we have a few vacancies left.We recommend that you make a reservation,though.It's still considered peak season then.

Caller:Okay.Do you have any rooms with two double beds?We're a family of four.

Receptionist:Yes,all of our rooms have two double beds.The rate for that weekend is $129 dollars a night.

Caller:That's reasonable.And do you have cots?One of my daughters might be bringing a friend.

Receptionist:We do,but we also charge an extra ten dollars per person for any family with over four people.The cot is free.

Caller:Okay,but I'm not positive if she is coming.Can we pay when we arrive?

Receptionist:Yes,but we do require a fifty dollar credit card deposit to hold the room.You can cancel up to five days in advance and we will refund your deposit.

Caller:Great,I'll call you right back.I have to find my husband's credit card.

Receptionist:Okay.Oh,and just to let you know...our outdoor pool will be closed,but our indoor pool is open.
