Planning a trip
Read the emails. Underline the tasks Andrew and Matt have to do before going on a trip.
Activity 2
Hey Matt,
Good news for our trip! I checked the embassy website and we don’t need to apply for visa now. We can get one when we arrive at the airport in Jakarta. I’ve also booked accommodation based on the budget we made. I found the Holiday Hotel Chain when I was doing research online. According to the reviews, these hotels are clean, central and inexpensive. By the way, did you buy the plane tickets
Andrew
Hey Andrew,
I’ve bought the plane tickets and arranged transfer from the airport to the hotel. So we are almost set! Don’t forget to check in online and print your boarding pass in advance. Then all we have to do is pack luggage. Remember to bring your camera! Oh, one last thing… Have you exchanged foreign currency I don’t have a credit card. I’d like to buy souvenirs for my family so I’m going to take $300 just in cash. Can’t wait!

to go
When you visit a place for the first time, a map is a great help for you to know the place better. An online map on your mobile phone is convenient. But if you don’t have net connection when you travel, a paper map is still an option. You would be able to find one in your hotel or at the local tourist information centre. When someone is giving you directions, try to mark your destinations and draw the routes to them on the map.

Guest: Good morning.
Receptionist: Hello there. How can I help you
Guest: Well, it's my first visit to this town. What would you suggest I see
Receptionist: I'd suggest starting with the History Museum. It has some great displays of ancient objects found in the local area.
Guest: That sounds good. Where is it
Receptionist: Here's a map of the town. This is the hotel. Head across the square to the town hall. Walk around the town hall, and you'll see the History Museum behind it, right between the theatre and the sports centre.
Tapescripts
Guest: When does it open
Receptionist: It opens at half past nine in the morning.
Guest: Great! And could you recommend anywhere to eat
Receptionist: Oh yes, there are lots of good restaurants in the town centre. You could go to this one here. It's called Paul's Restaurant and it serves delicious fish and chips. It's on East Road, next to the post office.
Guest: That's perfect because I'd like to send some postcards, too.
Receptionist: Is there anything else I can help you with
Guest: Actually, I'm here for four days. Are there any events happening in town or nearby
Receptionist: Well, you've arrived just in time for the boat race between Oxford and Cambridge universities. It starts tomorrow afternoon and takes place on the River Thames in West London.
Guest: That sounds great. How will I know which team is which
Receptionist: Oh, that's easy –Oxford always wears dark blue and Cambridge light blue.
Guest: OK. How can I get there
Receptionist: The train station is near the hotel, at the end of Rose Road. After you get to London, I'd recommend taking the tube to Putney Bridge and watching the race from there. Make sure to get there early so that you get a good view!
Guest: Thank you so much. You're very helpful.
Receptionist: Enjoy your stay. Bye!
