Dialogue 1 S(Sydney) J(Joseph)
S: So what do you think we should do for our anniversary? Should we stay in a hotel or go backpacking in a park?
J: I'm too old to go backpacking. Let's saty in a B & B in a scenic spot.
S: Since the weather is supposed to be nice, why don't we stay at a hotel with an outdoor swimming pool?
J: That's a good idea. I know of a reasonably priced hotel with a swimming pool that's just a stone's throw away from Hyde Park.
S: That's an execllent location! It must be one of the only hotels with an outdoor swimming pool in the heart of London!
J: They're also known for their huge breakfasts that keep you going all day.
S: We can eat to our heart's content in the morning and then spend the rest of the day in the pool.
J: Should I call them to make a reservation then?
S: You might as well see if they have any vacancies. Do they take credit cards?
J: Let me just check their website to find out.
S: Well?
J: Let's see. It says that breakfast is included, car parking is available, taxes are included in the price, there's free internet access, and yes, credit cards are accepted.
S: Fantastic. Let's book it for Saturday night then. And find out what time we can check in so we can make as much use of the pool as possible!
Dialogue 2
J: I've booked the room for Saturday night.
S: What time can we check in?
J: We can check in at 2:00 in the afternoon.
S: What about check-out?
J: Check out is at 11:00 a. m. , but you can request a late check-out for an extra £10. Should we do that?
S: Why not? Then we can sleep in and relax by the pool before we head back home.
J: Lockers are also available for luggage near the pool facilities, so we could spend the entire afternoon at the pool, even after check-out.
S: In that case, we won't need to pay for a late check-out.
J: Let's just wait and see how we feel. We might want to sleep in on Sunday morning.
S: That's a good deal. How about internet access? Is it available in the rooms?
J: Unfortunately not. They only offer free internet and WiFi access in the lobby.
S: That's alright. We won't really need it anyway, will we?
J: No, I think we'll manage going without internet access for a night!
S: How are we going to get there? Should we take the bus?
J: Since they offer free parking, let's just drive.
S: Ok. What time to do think we should hit the road on Saturday?
J: If we leave by noon, we should be able to get there by 2:00. What do you think?
S: Maybe we should leave at 11:00. That way, we'll have time to stop for lunch before we get to the hotel.
J: 11:00 it is then! Go pack your bags!
