A = Anna, J = Jake
A : Hello Mr Bevan. I’m Anna, your tour guide.
J : Hi. Please, call me Jake.
A : OK, Jake. Nice to meet you. How was the flight? Are you very tired?
J : No, I’m fine.
A : Great. Let’s go to the car park then. Is it your first time here?
J : Yeah. I was in Europe when I was a student, but somehow I never got here.
A : And your final destination is London, is that right?
J : Yes. I’m going to give a talk at a conference in Oxford.
A : So work, not pleasure?
J : Yes – well, maybe some pleasure too. I have a friend, well, an ex-girlfriend really, who I was with when I was a student. She’s British – she lives in Oxford – and we’re planning to meet up.
A : That’s nice! OK, so now I’m going to tell you a bit about our tour today. We’re going to drive to the centre – it takes about 45 minutes – and then
we’re going to start at the Colosseum.
J : Great. I’ve always wanted to see it.
A : And then we’re going to visit the Forum. After that, we’re going to see the Pantheon – one of the oldest buildings in the city.
J : Wow.
A : So then we are very near the Via del Corso, where all the best shops are. Would you like to maybe do some shopping?
J : Well, I’d like to see the shops but I’m probably not
going to buy anything.
A : Maybe a little present, a present for your friend in Oxford?
J : Well, maybe.
A : And then I’m sure you’re going to be hungry, so I’m going to take you to a really nice restaurant for lunch. We can have pizza, or a good carbonara, a gelato – an ice cream that is. Our typical dishes, but I promise you very different from Italian food in America.
J : Sounds great. And then back to the airport, I guess?
A : That’s right. We need to allow time for that.
J : Yes, I don’t want to miss my flight.
A : Don’t worry. We do this tour every day – and nobody has ever missed their flight.
J : Is it going to be very hot today?
A : No, not too hot. It’s going to be nice, about 22 degrees.
J : Perfect. It’s going to be a fantastic day.
A : Here we are. If you can just wait a minute while I pay for the parking. Oh, Mr Bevan – Jake – is this yours?
J : My passport! Thanks, Anna. Typical me. I always lose things when I’m travelling.
