Answer: I ever used a train, buses, ship, and car to go to travel. When I used the train, I go to Yogyakarta for Test UGM with my friend. It's kind of crowded because everybody had a same purpose as going for Test UGM. but it was pretty good the facilities are complete enough, that provides the food service by the employees and has toilets in, AC.

When I used a bus for transportation that is also comfortable, but it does not provide toilet in. That usually stops in certain places for taking a rest.

when I used a ship I'm going to Bali, the air was really fresh and cold, we can see the beautiful view from the ship and the facilities is also a complete, available restaurant if we feel hungry and we can stay out or in.

When I used a car, I feel comfortable and free because whatever we did it is alright because that is our private vehicle. From types of transportation, I like used that third transportation based situation and condition.

                   I am sorry to have to tell you that...

                   would you prefer me to...

2 Imagine you work in Travelweb. You have just been talking on the phone to a regular client, Dr. Leshem. The doctor has made a mistake with the dates he gave you for a flight you booked for him. Unfortunately, the ticket has already been issued, and the ticket conditions do not officially accept changes. In this situation technically there is nothing you can do to help Dr. Leshem, and he will have to buy a new ticket. However, you have a friend at KLM, the company that issued the ticket, and you want to ring her and try to get her to help you. Email your boss, and ask her permission.

   Answer: Dear Elaine

                  I have just been talking to Dr. Leshem. I am sorry to have to say that he made a mistake with the dates he gave me for a flight I booked for him. I have already issued the ticket, and the conditions do not officially accept changes. I know that Dr. Leshem is an important client so I am not very sure what to do.

                 Technically he should buy a new ticket. However, I have a friend at KLM. Would you give me permission to ring my friend and ask her to help me to change Dr. Leshem's ticket?

Many thanks

5 Email to a colleague at work

1 Read Cathie's email. How can you tell that Russell is a friend and not a superior?

                  How are things? Busy as always I guess!

                  Russel, I've got... 

                  Best

2. Imagine you are Russel. Write back to Cathie and recommend the Lucky Plaza Hotel. Choose four or five pieces of information from the web page to describe the key features of the hotel.

   Answer: Hi Cathy

                  Good to hear from you. Yes, things are busy. As always! But Cristiane got the job and is very happy. We both are! For your client, I recommend the three-star Lucky Plaza Hotel. It's located in the entre of Hanoi, in a quiet part of the old quarter. It's an old building in the French colonial style so I think your client will like it. It has been recently renovated so it has the usual services like restaurant, Internet, etc.

                   There are 50 rooms with AC, TV, etc. They all have good views of the nearby gardens. There are also deluxe rooms and suites and these will be best for your client. The deluxe room is $55/night, and the suite $65. Not too expensive.

Hope this helps.

Best

Russell
