Speaker 1 (1)
Good morning. World tours. My name is Jamie. How can I help you?
Speaker 3 (2)
Good morning. I want some information on self-drive tours in the USA.
Speaker 3 (3)
Could you send me a brochure?
Speaker 1 (4)
Of course. Could I have your name, please?
Speaker 3 (5)
Andrea Brown.
Speaker 1 (6)
Thank you. And your address?
Speaker 3 (7)
24, Ardleigh Road.
Speaker 1 (8)
Can you spell that?
Speaker 3 (9)
A-R-D-L-E-I-G-H Road.
Speaker 1 (10)
Postcode?
Speaker 3 (11)
BH5 2OP
Speaker 1 (12)
Thanks. And can I have your phone number?
Speaker 3 (13)
Is a mobile alright?
Speaker 1 (14)
Fine.
Speaker 3 (15)
It’s 07786643091.
Speaker 1 (16)
Thank you. And can I ask you where you heard about world tours?
Speaker 1 (17)
From a friend, or did you see an advert somewhere?
Speaker 3 (18)
No. I read about you in the newspaper.
Speaker 1 (19)
Okay. I'll get the brochures and the post to you, but can I give you some information over the phone?
Speaker 1 (20)
Uh, what kinds of things do you want to do on your holiday?
Speaker 3 (21)
I'm interested in going to California with my family.
Speaker 3 (22)
I've got 2 children, and we want to hire a car.
Speaker 1 (23)
Okay. We have a couple of self-drive tours there visiting different places of interest in California.
Speaker 1 (24)
The first one begins in Los Angeles, and there's plenty of time to visit some of the theme parks there.
Speaker 3 (25)
Uh, that's something on my children's list, so I'd want to include that.
Speaker 1 (26)
Good. Uh, then you drive to San Francisco.
Speaker 1 (27)
From San Francisco, you can drive to Yosemite Park, where you spend a couple of nights.
Speaker 1 (28)
You can choose to stay in a lodge or on the campsite.
Speaker 3 (29)
I don't like the idea of staying in a tent. It'd be too hot.
Speaker 1 (30)
Right. And the tour ends in Las Vegas.
Speaker 3 (31)
Okay.
Speaker 1 (32)
The other trip we can arrange is slightly different.
Speaker 1 (33)
It starts in San Francisco, then you drive south to Cambria.
Speaker 3 (34)
Someone told me there's a really nice castle near Cambria. Will we go near that?
Speaker 1 (35)
Hearst Castle is on that road so you could stop there.
Speaker 3 (36)
Good. I'd like to do that. Does this trip also go into the desert?
Speaker 1 (37)
No. It continues to Santa Monica, where most people like to stop and do some shopping.
Speaker 3 (38)
We have enough of that at home, so that doesn't interest us.
Speaker 1 (39)
Okay. Well, you could go straight on to San Diego.
Speaker 3 (40)
That's good for beaches, isn't it?
Speaker 1 (41)
That's right. That's a good place to relax, and your children might like to visit the zoo before flying home.
Speaker 3 (42)
Uh, I don't think so. We want some time for sunbathing and swimming.
Speaker 3 (43)
So how many days are the trips, and how much do they cost?
Speaker 1 (44)
The first one I told you about is a self-drive tour through California, which lasts 12 days and covers 2020 kilometres.
Speaker 1 (45)
The shortest journey is 206 kilometres, and the longest is 632 kilometres.
Speaker 1 (46)
The cost is £525 per person.
Speaker 1 (47)
That includes accommodation, car rental and a flight, but no meals.
Speaker 3 (48)
Okay. And the other trip?
Speaker 1 (49)
That lasts 9 days, but you spend only 3 days on the road.
Speaker 1 (50)
You cover about 980 kilometres altogether.
Speaker 3 (51)
So is that cheaper then?
Speaker 1 (52)
Yes, it’s almost £100 cheaper.
Speaker 1 (53)
It’s £429 per person, which is a good deal.
Speaker 3 (54)
So that covers accommodation and car hire. What about flights?
Speaker 1 (55)
They aren't included, but these hotels offer dinner in the price.
Speaker 3 (56)
Okay. Well, thank you very much. I'll be in touch when I've had a chance to look at the brochure.
Speaker 1 (57)
I'm pleased to help. Goodbye.
Speaker 3 (58)
Goodbye.
