1. A: Good afternoon. Can I help you?

B: Yes, please. Could you check if any packages have arrived for me please? I'm in room 219.

A: Sure. Let me see. No, I'm sorry, it doesn't look like there are any packages here.

B: Oh, no! That's really too bad. I was expecting something from my boss.

A: I'm sorry. If any packages do come in, I'll let you know right away.

B: Thanks. Oh! I almost forgot. I need to mail some letters. Do you happen to know where the nearest post office is? Or a mailbox?

A: Actually, you can just leave them here. and we'll mail them for you.

B: Great! Thanks a lot!

2. A: Can I help you?

B: Yes, I'd like to move to a different room, if possible.

A: Of course. Is there something wrong with your room, Sir?

B: Yes. It faces the street, so it's pretty noisy.

A: I see. Let me check. Yes, I can move you to a room on the opposite side. That should be much quieter.

B: Great. And is it a non-smoking room?

A: Let me check on that. I'm sorry, it's not. All the non-smoking rooms are occupied at the moment.

B: That's too bad. I hate the smell of smoke. But at least it will be quieter.

3. A: Can I help you, ma'am?

B: Yes. I need a taxi to the airport tomorrow morning.

A: No problem. I can arrange that for you right now. What time is your flight?

B: I think it's around 9:30, so can the taxi come around eight o'clock?

A: Actually, you'll probably want the taxi to pick you up around 6:30.

B: 6:30? Are you sure?

A: Well, the airport is pretty far from here. as you know. And it's been taking people a really long time to get through security recently.

B: I guess you're right. Can you call me before the taxi comes tomorrow morning? I need about an hour to wake up and get ready.

A: No problem. I'll schedule a wake-up call for 5:30.

4. A: Good evening, ma'am. Can I help you?

B: Hi. Can I still get room service? I've been driving all night, and I'm hungry.

A: Sure. Here's the menu. I believe they're open for another 15 minutes.

B: Hmm, Is there any way to get the lasagna without meat?

A: Actually, I'm sorry, they can't do that.

B: But I'm a vegetarian. I don't eat meat. Are you sure they can't help me?

A: I really wish they could. Maybe you should try the spaghetti. It's very tasty, and the sauce doesn't have any meat.

B: Hey, good idea! I'll have that. They can bring it up to room 147.
