Lesson 16   Just the ticket


Sharon
Good afternoon. Is there anything I can do for you?
 
Liam
You don’t sell train tickets here, do you?
 
Sharon
That depends where you want to go. Are you planning to .. 1 .. anywhere in Europe? Because I can book Eurostar trips, arrange your .. 2 .. and everything.

I should be able to guess from the posters, shouldn’t I? Silly me. Beautiful .. 6 .. .. 7 ... Perfect .. 8 .. beaches. Drumming with dolphins. Drumming with dolphins!? They can’t be serious, can they?

Sharon
Oh yes, it’s one of our customers’ favourite holidays, that one. You should look at the brochure. You fly to Sharm el-Sheikh in .. 9 ... Then you get on a boat which has some .. 10 .. on it and ... you think I’m joking, don’t you?

Liam
I can’t honestly see the point. I .. 11 .. you’ve never done it, have you?

Sharon
Not personally, but my boss’s wife did. ‘The .. 12 .. of the drums is good for your health ... gives you energy ... .. 13 .. your .. 14 .. ... and the dolphins love jumping and .. 15 .. to the sounds!’ You can .. 16 .. and play with them, according to this.

How much does a holiday like that cost? Not that I’ve got any money ...
 
Sharon
Over £1000 per person, because it .. 17 .. five-star hotels, the cost of the flights .. 18 ... But you’re not really interested, are you?

No, I hate flying. I just wanted a .. 19 .. .. 20 .., actually.

We don’t sell them here either. You should go to the station.
 
Liam
Can you give me .. 21 .. to the station from here?
21 aanwijzing, richting
Sharon
You have to go .. 22 .. the High Street until you get to some .. 23 ... Turn right there, and go past a .. 24 .. of shops. You’ll see a .. 25 .. to the station on your left – just follow the signs.

Great, thanks ... Do you like working here?

That’s a funny question.

Who says I never go anywhere? And there’s nothing weird about ... well, the dolphins, maybe! But a lot of .. 29 .. arrange these .. 30 .. to .. 31 .. where you can see wildlife ...

Hey, you’re one of those green activists, aren’t you? Have you come in here to protest?
 
Liam
No, I saw a pretty girl’s face in the window and I didn’t know the way to the station.
 
Sharon
Well now you know, so ... goodbye.
 
Liam
I’ve enjoyed talking to you. I’m Liam. Maybe we could have a drink? I could tell you what I think about your ecotours.
 
Sharon
Huh! That has to be the worst chat-up line I’ve ever heard ... but ... OK. I’ll think about it.

Dear Sir
 
I was shocked to read about tourism prizes in your newspaper last weekend. It was in fact an .. 10 .. feature for a .. 11 .. travel company. This so-called ecotour agent offers wildlife holidays to exotic places, .. 12 .. adventure and conservation.

It is my opinion that we should not pollute the .. 13 .. with .. 14 ... We should not .. 15 .. .. 16 .. or holiday accommodation and spoil beaches or forests. Our society has many problems like litter from .. 17 .. packaging. We should not take our problems to these destinations and ruin the rivers and coral reefs. In some countries, tourists have brought .. 18 .. and caused .. 19 .. to the .. 20 .. people.

Dear Sir
 
I was not surprised to see your reader’s letter about ecotourism. It was .. 23 .. .. 24 .. and .. 25 ... This reader does not have to fly anywhere, but there is no reason why other people should stop flying.
23 typisch

Ecotour companies work very .. 26 .. with the locals, who get many .. 27 .. from the tourists’ money. Tourism helps to create jobs and schools.

I agree that people in this country have to start thinking more carefully about their holidays. In my view, .. 28 .., we should stop criticizing .. 29 .. who are trying to improve the holidays on offer.

Cornwall’s as far south as you can go in the UK.
