DIALOGUE 2
Read the dialogue. Pay attention to the use of words and word-combinations connected with the topic "Making Travel Arrangements".
Traveller: Do you sell rail tickets?
Travel agent: Yes, certainly.
Traveller: I need a return ticket from Leeds to Colchester. I'm going on Sunday and coming back next Friday.
Travel agent: That'll be a monthly return actually, which is slightly less expensive than the ordinary return. Colchester, is that via London?
Traveller: Yes.
Travel agent: It's 19.00 pounds as far as London and an extra 5.55 through to Colchester.
Traveller: That makes 24.55.
Travel agent: 24.55,yes.
Traveller: Can I travel on any trains I like with that ticket?
Travel agent: Well, there's no restrictions apart from coming back; on Thursday you said, didn't you?
Traveller: No, Friday.
Travel agent: Friday. Oh, well, there are restrictions coming back on Friday. It depends what time you are going to come back — in the morning or afternoon?
Traveller: Afternoon. I'll probably want to come back on either the 19.00 or the 19.40 from London.
Travell agent:The 19.40's OK.
Traveller: But not 19.00?
Travel agent: No.
Traveller: Would I have to pay extra on that one?
Travel agent: If you came back on the 19.00, they'd surcharge you up to the normal fare, which would be approximately ... about 4 pounds extra to pay.
Traveller: Oh, well, I'll take the cheaper one then.
Travel agent: There's no restrictions going down, and the only conditions of this ticket are that if you travel ... well, if you travel on Sunday, you're OK 'cause it's available for return on or after the following day, Monday, so you're OK. Where you can't use it is if you were going down on Monday, for example, you couldn't return on Friday, you'd have to wait till Saturday.
Traveller: Well, I'll take the cheaper one then, the one at 24.55 pounds.
Travel agent: Monthly return to Colchester. One adult. 4.55 pounds. And you're travelling on...?
Traveller: Sunday.
Travel agent: Sunday the 19th?
Traveller: Yes.
Travel agent: That's your ticket. That one's for the outward journey, as it says there, Leeds to Colchester, and the copy is to bring you back.
Traveller: Thank you.
Travel agent: Thank you very much. And here is 45 pence change.
Traveller: Thank you.
