A: W h a t’s the new Indian restaurant on

Sixth Street like?

B: Well, everyone said it was very good,

but I w asn’t too satisfied w h en I w ent

B: The food was good, but it took too long

to arrive We had to w ait for nearly an

hour before w e got anything to eat

A: Oh! T h at’s terrible service

2

A: I’m going to get the textbook for our

biology class at the campus bookstore

Do you w an t to come?

B: No, I don’t think so

A: W hy not? D on’t you think it’s

convenient having a bookstore right

on campus?

B: Yes, it is But have you compared their

prices w ith other bookstores? That store

in the mall is usually about 10% cheaper

And you save about 20% buying your

books online

A: Oh I didn’t know that

3.

A: Do you belong to a health club?

B: N ot right now I used to go to the

Metropolitan Health Club on Third

Street I thought it was great because it

was so cheap, but then I stopped going

A: Really? I heard it w as pretty popular

B: That was the problem It was too popular It was always full of people

Sometimes I had to w ait a long tim e to use the machines

4.

A: So how w as the hotel in Honolulu?

B: It was pretty good The staff was really nice— very friendly and helpful There was one problem w ith it, though

A: W hat was that?

B: The location It was too far from the restaurants and clubs N ext time, I think I’ll stay much closer to the downtown

5.

A: Do you w an t to try Italian food tonight?

B: Sure W here w ould you like to go?

A: H ow about Little Roma— you know, that Italian restaurant across from the movie theater? I heard the prices are cheap

B: T hat’s true But the service is pretty bad

The w aiters are really slow, and they’re not very friendly either

1.

I really enjoy going there w ith friends after

w ork T here’s always som ething interesting

on the menu I also love the atmosphere I t’s very cool and they have really comfortable sofas

2

I’m glad I decided to study there My Spanish is m uch better now I t’s pretty expensive, but the facilities are very good

They have a great com puter lab, and there’s free w ifi all over campus I t’s m uch better than the school I was going to last year

3.

I ’ve been going there for over a year I

ju s t love the w ay they make m y hair look

The stylists are really good at th eir w ork

The atm osphere makes you feel at home, too, w ith coffee and snacks, plus really good music Sure, it’s expensive, b u t I only go there every tw o m onths or so

4.

I t’s a great place to stay The atmosphere

is so glamorous and exciting There are bright lights at the front door, and people always arrive in really expensive cars The rooms are really beautiful, too O f course, it’s not the cheapest hotel in Miami, but it’s definitely the best

5.

I always take mine to a garage on Market Street It takes a long tim e to get there from

m y house, but it’s w orth the trip I t’s the best repair shop in the city The mechanics

do great w ork, and they never try to charge you too much In fact, the prices are great— about half the cost of some other places in town

6

I get most of m y shirts there You’ll love the store All of their stuff looks great and fits perfectly I t’s really good quality, too They also have lots of different styles and colors to choose from The w indow displays are a problem, though They aren’t well- lit, so it’s hard to see w h at they have from outside the store

1.

I think the most im portant thing is service

If customers feel like they are treated poorly, then they probably w o n ’t come back T hat’s w hy I train all of m y w orkers

to give excellent service They greet customers politely, show them to a table right away, and explain the items on the menu O f course, the food is im portant, too The fish has to be as fresh as possible, and you have to find talented chefs to prepare it

2.

The Internet has totally changed this

business In the old days, people had to

come to a travel agency to get tickets N ow they go online and get th e ir tickets by themselves W h e n they come to me, I

k n o w th e y ’re looking for a good value

T h a t’s really the m ost im p o rtan t thing

O f course, ou r travel agency provides convenience for some clients w ho don’t have the tim e to plan th e ir ow n trips

3.

These days, nothing is m ore im portant than speed Time is money People w ant a job done well, b u t they w ant it done quickly And they’re usually prepared to pay a little

m ore if you can promise it will get done fast And, of course, quality is im portant, too W e’re building people's homes, so

w e w an t them to enjoy living there for a long time

4.

I t’s so im portant to have the right kind

of displays Creating effective clothing displays is an art You w an t people to see the items right away, pick them up, touch them, and then go try the clothes on And you w an t them to buy something, too! Good prices are also im portant, but the display is really the num ber one thing
