A: Hello, I'd like to reserve a hotel room.

B: That should be no problem. May I have your full name, please?

A: My name is John Sandals.

B: Hello, Mr. Sandals. My name is Michelle. What days do you need that reservation, sir?

A: I'm planning to visit New York from Friday, April 14 until Monday, April 17.

B: Our room rates recently went up. Is that okay with you, Mr. Sandals?

A: How much per night are we talking about?

B: Each night will be $308.

A: That price is perfectly acceptable.

B: Wonderful! Do you prefer a smoking or nonsmoking room?

A: Nonsmoking, please.

B: Next question: Is a queen-size bed okay?

A: That sounds fine.

B: Okay, Mr. Sandals. Your reservation is in our computer. All we need now is a phone number.
