Ordering a Taxi
Concierge( C ): Concierge. How can I help you?
Guest ( G ) : Im Mr.John Roche, Room 606. I want to order a taxi for tomorrow.
C: When and where are you going?
G: Im going to be on a trip to the suburban area-Qingpu. I ve often heard it s a quite beautiful place. So Id like to see it with my own eyes.
C: I think one day suffices. What time are you setting off?
G: I must start out about 8:00 in the morning and return at 6:00 in the evening. In this way, Ill have ample time to enjoy the poetry of the land. What does it cost?
C: That will be ten Yuan for the first three kilometers, and afterwards youll be charged two Yuan per kilometers.
G: What if I book a return tour by taxi?
C: Then you 11 be charged 300-400 Yuan.
G: Sounds reasonable. Ill take the return tour by taxi. Please arrange it for me to leave at 8:00 tomorrow morning. Shall I pay the fare there?
C: Not necessary. You pay the fare right to the taxi driver. We confirm 8:00 tomorrow morning, return tour by taxi.Ill make it for you then.
G: Thanks a lot. By the way, could you wake me up at 7:00 tomorrow morning?
C: Certainly. Ill tell the operator. She will take care of it. Thank you, Mr. Roche.
