想聊就聊-2.05.1在旅行社

W: Welcome, sir. May I help you?

M: Yes, I wanna go to America for my vacation.

W: No problem. Actually, we have some great packages. The most exciting season of Hawaii is now. How about a relaxing vacation in Hawaii?

M: Sounds good. Are there any group tours I can go with?

W: Yes. There will be one at the end of this month. For many people, a Hawaiian vacation promises languid days filled with sunbathing¹ and poolside cocktails² . For others, it’s all about non-stop action in one of the world's most extreme natural playgrounds. Whether you are in search of quiet relaxation³ or unbridled stimulation⁴, Hawaii gives you the best of both.

M: Great. So how long is the trip?

W: 15 days. The transportation by air will take five days.

M: Fine. I happen to have 20 days for holiday, so exciting! How many places will be visited and what are they? Where will be staying and how about the food there?

W: Sir, let's do it step by step. First, we will visit over 25 different places. Most of the places are in Hawaii’s Big Island. We will stay in Arnott’s Lodge⁵ & Hiking Adventures and Aloha Beach Resort. Both hotels offer perfect device. As for the third question, the most difficult decision you may face on your visit to Hawaii is where to eat. With hundreds of options on any given island, you may find all the choices overwhelming⁶. But just trust your instincts and follow your nose: they will no doubt lead you into the delicious discoveries.

M: Well, cool. What's the price for this trip?

W: Well, right now there's a special rate for 40,000RMB for this package, including everything such as airline ticket, tour guides, hotels and food. All you have to do is to sign up and we will take care of everything.

M: Well. 40,000RMB that's really a lot of money. I will have to think about it.

W: Sure. By the way, this special price is only good through the end of the week.

M: Is it Thursday? I mean if I let the chance slide...

W: Yes, sir. It will be a great pity!

M: Well. Ok, I will take it.

W: Thank you!
