Guest : Well! That's good news. I can choose different cuisine for different meals.
Receptionist : May I know the duration of your stay?
Guest : Oh! I haven't filled that column because I haven't decided on my period of stay yet. It all depends on how early or how late I am going to finish my work. But, tentatively, I shall write it as four days.
Receptionist : That'll do. Please inform us about your extension one day earlier.
Guest : Sure. By the way, do you have laundry facility here?
Receptionist : Yes. Please call up the housekeeping department and they will have the clothes picked up.
Guest : How do I get the extension phone numbers for all the departments?
Receptionist : All the in-house phone numbers are in a list kept near the telephone.
Guest : Oh! That will do. Thank you. You have been very helpful.
Receptionist : My pleasure! I am here to help you.
Guest : Thanks. Well I am rather tired. Can you please ask the bellboy (luggage carrier) to bring my luggage to the room?
Receptionist : Certainly. Here's your key.
Guest : Thank you very much.
Receptionist : You're welcome.
