(Jenny and Tony are at the train station)
Tony: We want to take a train to New York.
Ticket agent (A): Regular or express train?
Tony: How much time would we save if we took
the express?
A: About one hour. The next express train arrives
in New York at 3:15.
Tony: And how much more do we have to pay for the
express?
A: First class is 24 dollars more, and second class
is 15 dollars more.
Tony (to Jenny): What do you think?
Jenny: As long as we can arrive one hour earlier,
I don't mind paying a little extra.
Tony: OK. (to A) Then give me two second-class
tickets on the express, please.
(Tony and Jenny arrive in New York)
Jenny: Oh! At last we are in the Big Apple! Now we
have to take a subway to get to the Village. Don't we
need to buy a subway map?
Tony: Yes, but I think we can get it free at the
subway station, at the token1 booth2.
(At the subway station)
Tony: Can I have ten tokens3? And also can I get a
free subway map?
Ticket booth employee4 (: Sure. Here's a pack of
ten tokens, twelve-fifty, and this is your subway map.
Tony: Thank you.
Jenny: We are going to the East Village. Which
train should we take?
B: Take the No. 8 train and get off at Astor Place.
Tony/Jenny: Thanks a lot.
