Man:
Green Travel Agency. What can I do for you?
Woman:
Hi, good morning. My family and I intend to go on a vacation for Vancouver, and could you please help us reserve a hotel?
Man:
Sure, with pleasure. First, I’ll take some notes down of your personal details. May I have your full name, please?
Man:
Hi Anna, there is a hotel in Vancouver named Holiday Chilcotin, which is very popular with guests on vacation
Woman:
Mmm, Chilcotin, can you spell it?
Man:
C-H-I-L-C-O-T-I-N, a local hotel
Woman:
Where is it? Is it in the downtown? You see, my family member prefers to stay in a quieter zone during vacation. Not too buzzy you know.
Man:
Uh, no worries. Actually it’s ten miles from the city centre, near a train station.
Woman:
Oh, I think that’s okay. I am travelling with my husband. Is it expensive to live in that hotel?
Man:
Well, in your case, I think a double room would suit you well. Normally, it’s 210 dollars, but if you can make a reservation in advance, you can pay 169 dollars for a night.
Woman:
That sounds pretty reasonable. I’d like to book for 5 days from 27 June through 1 July. Are there still rooms available?
Man:
Oh, let me check. Ah, yes, they still have some vacant rooms. Would you like to book it now?
Woman:
Wait. One more question: any meals are included in the price?
Man:
Well, you need to pay separately for lunch and dinner, except the breakfast, which is provided from 7 to 9.
Woman:
Alright, please book it for me. Is there anything we can do near the hotel?
Man:
Yeah, it only takes 10 minutes to walk to a science museum sponsored by the city council.
Woman:
Excellent, I think my husband will love it.
Woman:
Are there any outdoor activities to recommend to us? Because we don’t like to stay in the hotel for all day.
Man:
Oh, yes. If you like to go cycling there is a shop near the hotel, where you can rent a bike. Helmets are on sales, but you‘ll have to take your own boots.
Woman:
That sounds great. I think I’ll do that
Man:
Also, It’s a charming plae for visitors who like to go mountain climbing
Man:
The hotel prepares two trips to a nearby mountain. One trip starts at 9 in the morning, and the other one is at 2 in the afternoon each day. You can just call reception to make a reservation.
Man:
And it’s free of charge, but please be careful of fires, which are not allowed. If you like, you can go fishing in the lakes. For camping, a tent can be borrowed for a rest from the driver.
Woman:
Oh, I can’t wait. It sounds like a lot of fun!
Man:
If you’d like some adventure, you can go hiking in the forest. Sometimes you can even see some black bears. Be careful.
Woman:
Oh my god, we really do not like to take risks while travelling.
Man:
One last thing. There is a visit to an ancient gold mine every afternoon. If you are interested, just call reception.
Woman:
I think we will do that. Thank you so much for your help.
Man:
You are more than welcome...
