If you go early, it will be cheaper (Ex. 78-79)

Agent: Can I help you?

Mrs Buchan: Yes. we'd like some information about holidays in the United States.

Agent: When were you thinking of going?

Mrs Buchan: We were thinking of this summer.

Agent: If you go early, it will be cheaper.

Mr Buchan: When does the high season start? Agent: From July 15th to September 15th is the high season. It is more expensive then.

Mrs Buchan: We were thinking of going in July.

Agent: If you go early in July, it will be cheaper. How long do you want to go for?

Mr Buchan: We were thinking of going for a week.

Agent: I see. That can be fairly expensive. If you go for two weeks, it will be almost the same price as one week. For instance, if you book three nights, you will pay a hundred dollars. If you book seven nights, you will pay a hundred and thirty dollars. If you book ten nights, it will cost you only a hundred and fifty dollars.

Mr Buchan: I see.

Agent: Where were you thinking of going in the United States?

Mrs Buchan: Well. we'd like to visit New York...

Mr Buchan: And New Orleans in the South and Texas. I'm a space fan, I'd like to see NASA in Houston.

Mrs Buchan: Then we could go to Las Vegas... and then to California... San Francisco... Hollywood...

Agent:  I see. That's quite a lot of travelling. If you have an air pass...

Mr Buchan: What's an air pass?

Agent: An air pass is an air ticket that allows you to travel anywhere in the United States for a week or for two weeks.

Mr Buchan: Anywhere?

Agent: Almost anywhere. If you have an air pass, you will be able to fly from New York to New Orleans to Houston, then to Las Vegas and to San Francisco.

Mr Buchan: And then back again to New York.

Agent: Exactly.

Mrs Buchan: If we have an air pass, we will be able to visit my sister in Chicago.

Mr Buchan: How much is an air pass?

Agent: It depends. If you buy a one-week pass, it won't cost a lot... about five hundred dollars.

Mr Buchan: And if I buy a two-week air pass?

Agent:  It will cost about eight hundred dollars.

Mr Buchan: What is the price of two weeks at a Holiday Inn in the first two weeks in July?

Agent: With the flights from London to

New York?

Mr Buchan: Yes.

Agent: Here again, if you fly from London to Boston or London to Washington, it will be cheaper than flying directly to New York.

Mr Buchan: OK. Two weeks at a Holiday Inn and a flight from London to Boston.

Agent:  It's in this brochure here. It's about eight hundred dollars for each of you.

Mrs Buchan: And then if we decide to travel around the States...

Agent:  If you decide to get a two-week air pass, it will cost you about eight hundred dollars.

Mrs Buchan: So the total cost will be about one thousand six hundred dollars for each of us.

Mr Buchan: Three thousand two hundred dollars for both of us.

Mrs Buchan: Well, thank you very much. That was very useful.

Agent: All the information you need is in this brochure.

 Mr Buchan: Thank you.

Agent: Goodbye.

 Mr& Mrs Buchan: Bye.
