Ireland.

come back on the 17th.So I'd like to book three nights in a

hotel in Dublin as well.

Can I do that through you?

A : Yes.No problem at all.That's the fourteenth of this

month, is it?

B : That's right.So it's next Friday, in fact.

A : Okay.Now then if you'd like to fill in the details of your

car and the passengers on this form.

What sort of hotel were you thinking of?

B : Well, something not too expensive but, you know,

decent.

Two star, or maybe three star, I guess.

It's only a one star hotel but it's very comfortable and the

prices are very reasonable.

with an extra bed and a room with twin beds.
