Now we are ready to start.

Dialogue A

A.: Good evening!

B.: Good evening! I’ve got a reservation for 7 pm. Steve Johns.

A.: Yes, certainly. It’s the table near the stage. We’re having live music tonight.

A.: That’s great, but I asked for a table by the window.

B.: Sorry, I made a mistake. I’ll ask the manager whether we can change anything in the reservation list.

A.:Thank you.

Dialogue B

A.: Hello! I'd like to buy three tickets for this Friday.

B.: There are only orchestra and balcony seats left.

A.: On the balcony then. The first row if possible.

B.: Right. There are three seats available in the centre of the first row. 20 dollars per ticket.

A.: Ok. I’ll take them. Can I pay by credit card?

B.: Yes, sure.

Dialogue C

A.: So….Did you like it?

B.: Oh yes, immensely! She has a gorgeous voice. It was a delight! But it was a bit stuffy in the hall, wasn’t it?

A.: Yes, that’s why it’s so pleasant to be outside at last. Fancy a walk? Or shall we take a taxi?

B.: Not a taxi. It's a warm evening.

A.: Let's walk through the town centre, then.

B.: Ok.

Dialogue D

A.: What’re they doing? There, upstairs! Is it a karaoke contest? I can’t concentrate on my studies.

B.: I'm afraid our neighbours are just having a party.

A.: It’s half past 9 already. You should make them turn down the music!

B.: Could you give them another twenty minutes?

A.: All right, but no longer. Or I'll call the police myself.
