RECEPTIONIST: Good afternoon, Dreamtime Travel. How can I help you?
CUSTOMER: Hi. My name is Taylor and I'm interested in the tours you offer to Japan. Could you give me some details about that?
RECEPTIONIST: Sure. We operate several Japanese tours. Which one in particular do you want to know?
CUSTOMER: Well, I like the one that mentioned whales. It is the tour of whale watching, I think.
RECEPTIONIST: Ah yes, that's our Whale Watch Experience. It's very popular and it's based in a lovely little town with nice beaches, not far from here.
CUSTOMER: Good. So, is there someone guiding us on the tour?
RECEPTIONIST: 1Yes, each tour has one guide during the journey. And you will go there by minibus.
We like to keep our tours small and personal, so we don't take a large number of people, just twelve or thirteen people usually.
CUSTOMER: Well, that sounds good. How much is it?
RECEPTIONIST: 2At this time of year it's usually around 150 dollars for each person but let me check. Er ... oh, it's actually 25 dollars cheaper at the moment, so that's 125 dollars.
You will have the opportunity to watch a group of whales performing an aqua show, which is the most eye-catching part of the whole trip.
3And also, you will have a tour on the boat and you can enjoy the magnificent sea views.
CUSTOMER: Oh right, and how long does the tour last?
RECEPTIONIST: It's two days - that includes four hours’ travel time.
CUSTOMER: And what about the other things, you know, that are included in the price?
RECEPTIONIST: Oh, there are lots of things. If you don't want to do the cruise, you can join a free bushwalk we offer.
4You will get more exercise with the walk option, and that would be attractive for those who try to keep fit. Another option is a fishing trip, which is 12 dollars.
5Some customers might worry about the safety of the trip, but it's unnecessary, since all activities that might be dangerous will be excluded.
CUSTOMER: Good.
CUSTOMER: And what about the breakfast? Do I have to pay extra money for it?
RECEPTIONIST: 6I'm afraid so, breakfast is served in the hotel at a reasonable price. During the trip tourists will have lunch together, which is free of charge.
CUSTOMER: 7And the insurance?
RECEPTIONIST: Oh, the fees you pay will cover it.
CUSTOMER: OK, I see. So what about the evening activities? Are we free at night?
RECEPTIONIST: Yeah. If you just want to relax, you are free to sit by the hotel pool or walk along the beach. But there is also an alternative if you are not interested in these activities.
Theatre is also a great place for you to unwind. There used to be some musicals in the theatre at night, but they got canceled as the audience found them unattractive.
8Now comedies are available to the public in the theatre every evening and if you want to watch them, please contact the travel agents.
CUSTOMER: Well, that sounds good. And is dinner available at the hotel?
RECEPTIONIST: Yes, but that will cost an extra 25 dollars more or less. I would recommend you to try the local shrimps, miso soup and pickles. Those are delicious.
CUSTOMER: Wow, sounds good. Can we purchase souvenirs from the town where we stay?
Someone told me that there is a small exhibition of Japanese products near the hotel at night.
RECEPTIONIST: 9Oh right, I forgot to mention that. There are a variety of products produced by factories here on display, and you can choose any object that catches your eye.
Small toys are very popular among tourists.
CUSTOMER: Fantastic. One more question, what is the hotel room like?
RECEPTIONIST: 10Well ... each room has a balcony. The view from there is quite beautiful as the hotel is located near a national park. Is there anything else you want to know?
CUSTOMER: No, thank you, that is all for now. Bye.
RECEPTIONIST: Goodbye.
