It's been really long since we all have taken a trip together.
Let's plan something for this summer.
Let's go to Miami Beach.
The beaches are world class.
You can eat the most scrumptious Latin American cuisine every night of the week.
The weather is perfect.
There are many hiking and biking trails.
And we can have so many adventures, like canoeing, snorkeling, or scuba diving.
Philip, we've already been there twice.
Let's try something different this time.
I would like to go abroad, preferably to Europe.
How about Italy?
It has spectacular cities, ancient ruins, wonderful museums.
Great beaches and beautiful natural scenery.
Let's better go to England and visit London.
We've never been there.
There's lots to do in London and people go there from all over the world.
We can have an ace time.
That's a great idea.
There are many great places to visit in London.
There are fine museums, magnificent palaces, superb royal parks, trendy shopping districts, and wonderful entertainment venues.
That's gonna be the best trip ever!
What do you say, Philip?
It sounds interesting.
Let's do it.
Perfect.
I will book the flight tickets and hotel.
Hello, I'm Lillian Miller.
What can I do for you?
Hello, I'd like to book a direct flight to London, please.
When do you plan to travel?
On July 15th.
Would you like a one-way or round-trip ticket?
Round-trip ticket.
We're coming back on the 23rd.
Let me check what flights are available in this period.
Would you like a morning, an afternoon, or an evening flight?
I'd like an evening flight, please.
Which class do you prefer?
Economy, business, or first class?
Economy.
How many seats would you like?
Four seats.
I'll travel with my family.
There is a direct flight to London with British Airways, United Airlines, or with Delta.
Which airline would you prefer?
Which one is cheapest?
Delta flight is the cheapest.
One ticket costs $475, so four tickets are $1,900.
Then I would choose Delta.
How long does the flight take?
The total time is 8 hours and 17 minutes.
Could I have your name?
My name is Jonathan Stewart.
Here's my identity card.
Can you also recommend a cheap hotel in London?
We would like to stay for seven nights.
The Chamberlain is a comfortable hotel with easy access to central attractions.
How many rooms would you like to reserve?
Two rooms, one double and one twin, please.
We can offer you one standard twin for $80 and one standard double room for the same price.
What's included in this cost?
A full buffet breakfast, free Wi-Fi, room service.
Okay, that's settled.
I'll take it.
We're finally in London!
How exciting!
Yes, we've made it here safely.
What are we going to do first?
First, we need to exchange some money.
We need some local cash for a taxi to the hotel.
Okay, let's go find an exchange office.
I don't think that's a good idea.
The exchange rate is really high in the airport and so are the fees.
The most economical way to obtain British pounds is to use our ATM card.
Okay.
Excuse me, do you happen to know where an ATM is in this area?
It's at the end of the corridor, near the gate door and men's washroom.
It's right in the corner.
Thanks a lot.
You're welcome.
Hello.
Would you like a cab?
Yes, we would.
Where would you like to go?
To the Chamberlain Hotel.
Do you know where it is?
I certainly do.
It's a popular hotel.
I'll take you there right away.
Please put your luggage in the boot of the car.
Boot?
Oh, you mean the trunk?
Exactly.
We call it boot in the UK.
Are you here on holiday?
Holiday?
You mean vacation?
Yes.
That's right.
We're here on vacation.
This is our first time here.
Well, welcome to our city.
It's a really nice time of the year to visit.
There's lots to see and do.
I really recommend checking out Oxford Street.
It's a popular shopping area.
Oh, that sounds interesting.
We do need to do some shopping.
Thanks for the tip.
How long are you staying, may I ask?
We'll be here for a week, so we should have plenty of time to see the most popular attractions.
Okay, here we are.
It's 20 pounds.
Here you go.
Thanks, and enjoy your stay.
Good morning.
How can I help you?
Good morning.
We have a reservation under the name of Stuart.
Let me check.
Yes, Stuart.
A double room and a twin room for seven nights, bed and breakfast.
Is that right?
That's correct.
Could I see some ID, please?
A passport or an identity card?
Here you go.
Would you please fill in this registration form, sir?
Sure.
What's your favourite place in London, if you don't mind?
Oh, it's Covent Garden.
It's one of the best areas in London.
There are many restaurants, alleys to explore and the best things to do.
How do we get there?
You can take a cab or use the Tube.
Taxis are pretty expensive in London, so we'd better take the subway.
Is the subway station far away from here?
As soon as you get out of the hotel, turn right.
Go straight ahead for five minutes.
Then you'll see the underground station.
You can't miss it!
Okay, thanks a lot!
I'm done.
Here's the form.
Thank you.
Your room includes breakfast in the morning.
Breakfast is served between 7.30 a.m.
and 10 a.m.
in the restaurant in front of the reception.
On the last morning of your stay, you have to check out before 11 a.m.
Here's your key.
It's room 406 on the fourth floor.
Anything you need, please don't hesitate to call our desk for help.
Enjoy your stay.
Thank you.
Where is the elevator?
The lift is right there near the stairs.
When you get off the lift, turn right.
Your room is at the end of the corridor on the left-hand side.
Do you need help with your bags?
No, it's okay, thanks.
What are we going to do today?
How about going to Carvent Garden?
What's that?
It's London's main theatre and entertainment area.
Are there markets too?
Yes, there are many markets and souvenir shops.
Are there restaurants too?
I'm really hungry.
Yes, there are some of the best restaurants in London.
What are we waiting for then?
Let's go!
Hello, I'm Harry.
I'll be your waiter today.
What can I get you to drink?
I'll have a lemonade, please.
Me too!
I'll have a coke.
And I'll have a ginger beer.
Okay, I'll be right back with your drinks.
Are you ready to order?
Yes, we are.
I'll have a Caesar salad and... what's an Alfredo sauce?
A cream sauce, very rich, very good.
Ooh, yummy.
I'll try that.
I'll try the house salad and the meatballs and spaghetti.
I'm gonna have the steak medium and the soup to start.
What will you have, Philip?
I'm gonna go for the cheese bomb burger and fries.
It's so hot today.
I'd like to eat an ice cream.
Look, there's an ice cream stand over there.
Let's go.
Hi, how can I help you?
Hi, what flavors of ice cream do you have?
We have all the basic flavors like chocolate, vanilla, coconuts, banana, and many more.
Do you have strawberry ice cream?
Yes, we do.
How many scoops would you like?
I'd like one large scoop of strawberry and one small scoop of chocolate.
Would you like any toppings?
Yes, I'd like chocolate sauce, please.
Will that be all?
Yes.
Okay, that will be five pounds.
Here you go.
Thank you.
What would you like to have?
I would like three small scoops of strawberry, chocolate, and vanilla ice cream with sprinkles, please.
That will be five pounds.
Thank you.
I love Covent Garden.
There's something magical about it.
It's so colorful and it's full of great places to eat and shop.
The street performers and musicians are really talented, aren't they?
Yes, they are.
It's such a lovely atmosphere here.
There are so many nice things in this souvenir market.
Wow, look at this guard doll.
It's so cute.
Excuse me, how much is this doll?
It's 20 pounds.
I love it.
Can I buy it, mom?
Of course.
And how much are those mugs with the British flag?
The big mugs are 10.25, and the small ones are 8.75.
Can I have two big mugs and one guard doll?
Here you are.
Anything else?
How much is that white t-shirt over there?
It's 15 pounds.
Do you have it in large size?
Yes, of course.
Here you are.
What about this keychain with the London Underground logo?
How much is it?
That's two pounds.
Can I buy this for Grandpa?
Sure, I think he would love it.
And this t-shirt is for Grandma.
Will that be all?
Yes, that's all.
It's getting pretty late and I'm so tired.
I think we should go back to the hotel.
I think so too.
I wonder where the subway station is.
Excuse me, how do we get to the underground station from here?
Ah, it's easy.
Go along this street and turn right into Southampton Row.
Okay, so turn right into Southampton Row.
Yep, then go along Southampton Row and go through Covent Garden Market.
After that, go along James Street, past Florals Street.
You'll see the station on the left.
How far away is it?
It'll take you about 10 minutes.
Thank you very much.
Don't mention it.
Good morning!
How can I help you?
Good morning!
We'd like to book a bus tour for today.
We'd like to see the top London landmarks.
I recommend you our Hop-on Hop-off bus tour.
This tour lets you jump on and off so you can visit attractions, have lunch or go shopping.
You could see famous attractions like Buckingham Palace, famous Piccadilly Circus,
The Tower of London, Trafalgar Square, Big Ben, and many more.
That seems to be exactly what we need.
How long does it take?
The whole route takes about two hours, and the bus departs from Waterloo.
And how much are the tickets?
One ticket is £35, and you can buy it from the driver.
There is a discount for a family ticket, which includes two adults and two children.
That sounds good.
Is there a guide on the bus?
Yes, there is a live guide who gives you information about the place as you visit.
That sounds amazing.
We're gonna have a blast today.
