W: (8)Hello. This is Summer Hotel. May I help you?
M: Yes, (9)I’d like to reserve a room for two from next Monday to next Thursday.
W: OK. (8)Hold on, please. I will check our books. The next week, Monday and Thursday, right?
M: No. (9)From Monday to Thursday. There are four days altogether.
W: Well, luckily we still have one suite available, with a kitchenette and a sauna bath. And the view of the sea is great too.
M: How much is it?
W: It’s only $220, plus the 10% room tax.
M: Oh, ( 10) that’s a little too expensive for me. Is there any cheaper room available from Monday to Thursday?
W: Yes, there are a few rooms unbooked on next Monday and Tuesday, but we’re full on Wednesday and Thursday, unless you want a smoking room.
M: Well, how much is the smoking room next Monday?
W: $70, plus the 10% room tax.
M: OK, that’ll be better. But I have to check with my colleague first. (8) Will you please hold on for a minute?
W: OK, just go ahead.
M: OK, done. So I will take the room next week from Monday to Thursday.
W: All right. Could I have your name, please?
M: Yes, Tom Hanks.
W: (11)OK, Mr. Hanks, will you pay in cash?
M: (11)Well, cash or credit card.
W: OK, we look forward to seeing you next Monday.
M: OK. Goodbye.
