conversation between 2 people
David: Then one thirty will be fine. No! make it one fifteen to be on the safe side.
Book the taxi for 1-15 in the afternoon, please.
Hotel receptionist: OK. I will make booking right away for you.
David: Thank you for your help. And please tell the taxi company to make sure the
taxi arrives by 1-15, as that will leave me plenty of time.
Hotel receptionist: Would you like me to order a taxi for when you return?
David: That's a great idea. Could make sure the taxi waiting for me outside for 8 o
clock
Where do you want the taxi to take you? Where is a question word. The receptionist
is asking where are you going?
I'm hoping that it is not very far away from here. When saying I'm hoping it implies
you wish the conference at the Regents hotel is close and don' not have travel far.
No! make it one fifteen to be on the safe side. David is worried he might be late, by
saying to be on the safe side it means. You are doing something that may not be
needed to order to protect yourself against possible problems.

anything else I can help you with today?

after my wake up call.
Hotel receptionist: What breakfast would you like a full English or continental
breakfast.
John: A full English with extra toast please.
John: Yeah. That’ll be all for now. I will settle my bill, when I check out in the
morning.
Hotel receptionist: Would also like me to arrange a taxi to the airport for you?
John: Hmm, yes that would be great. Can you order one for 8-30am.
Hello sir is very polite way of answering the telephone. The hotel receptionist could
have answered hello John, but saying yes, sir is more professional.
Is there anything else I can help you with today? By asking is there anything else
allows John to ask for something else.
Is that all? This is used to see if John wants to order or ask for something else or
not.
