  • Are you here on holiday?

  • Holiday? You mean vacation?

  • Yes.

  • That's right. We're here on vacation.

  • This is our first time here.

  • Well, welcome to our city. It's a really nice time of the year to visit.

  • There's lots to see and do.

  • Oh, that sounds interesting.

  • We do need to do some shopping. Thanks for the tip.

  • How long are you staying, may I ask?

  • What's your favourite place in London, if you don't mind?

  • There are many restaurants, alleys to explore and the best things to do.

  • How do we get there?

  • You can take a cab or use the tube.

  • Taxis are pretty expensive in London, so we'd better take the subway.

  • Is the subway station far away from here?

  • As soon as you get out of the hotel, turn right. Go straight ahead for five minutes.

  • Then you'll see the underground station. You can't miss it.

  • Okay, thanks a lot.

  • Anything you need, please don't hesitate to call our desk for help.

  • Enjoy your stay.

  • Thank you. Where is the elevator?

  • The lift is right there near the stairs.

  • When you get off the lift, turn right.

  • Your room is at the end of the corridor on the left-hand side.

  • Do you need help with your bags?

  • We have all the basic flavors like chocolate, vanilla, coconut, banana and many more.
