M: Good morning. Can I help you.’?
W: Hello. My name’s Jane Bush and I’m intending to go to a conference in Sydney for three weeks. After the conference I’ve got two weeks’ holiday and I wanted to go shopping or seeing Hong Kong or India or somewhere round there.
M: Yes.
W: Where exactly can I go?
M: Well, lots of places. There’s Singapore or Teheran, Kuwait, Athens, you’ve really got quite a lot of choices you know.
W: Well, it sounds marvelous. How much would that cost?
M: The full fare? Well, that’s really quite a lot. It’s ￡ 12134.
W: Yes, a thousand two hundred and four. Well, it’s once in a lifetime.
M: Mm.
W: The thing is, actually that I’m absolutely terrified of flying. I’ve never done it before.
M: Oh dear.
W: And I’m hoping that I can persuade my two friends, who are also going to the conference, to stop over with me on the way back.
M: Yes, that would be a good idea.
W: Mm, yes. By the way, one of them is in Cairo at the moment. Would it be possible for ne to stop over there on my way to Sydney?
M: Yes, of course. There are plenty of flights to Cairo and then plenty more onwards from Cairo to Sydney.
