1) Receptionist:Good evening, what can I do for you?
Guest:I'd like to book a room.
R: When for?
G: I want to come on the 3rd of May and stay for three nights.
R: I'm really very sorry, but we are fully booked at that period.
G: Well, what about next week?
R: Oh, next week is OK, but what kind of room would you like?
G: A double, if possible.
R: I'm not quite sure, just one moment. Oh, I'm afraid we don't have any vacant double rooms for that moment, but never mind, I can offer you two nice single rooms.
G: What a pity! Let it be two single rooms but on one floor.
2) Headwaiter:Hello, how can I help you?
Guest:I'd like to reserve a table for two.
H: When would you like to come?
G: I wonder if it is possible to come on Wednesday evening.
H: Oh, I'm awfully sorry, but we don't open on Wednesday.
G: It is really very bad. Well, then could you reserve me a table for tonight?
H: I'm afraid we don't have any tables left for tonight. Today is our busy day. Come tomorrow and we'll reserve the best table for you!
3) Waiter:Good morning. What can I do for you?
Guest:Could I speak to your manager, please?
