Intermediate

A: How can I help you?

B: I seem to have lost my train ticket.

A: What’s your destination?

B: I’m supposed to be going to ShangHai.

A: OK. When is your train supposed to leave?

B: It’s supposed to leave in 30 minutes.

A: Oh, dear. What’s your last name, please?

B: S M I T H.

A: And your passport number?

B: Z3264356.

A: Let me see…it doesn’t look like we have any information about your ticket here.

B: Is there anything you can do for me? If I don’t make it to ShangHai in time, my wife is going go kill me.

A:Oh dear. I’m really sorry , sir. But you don’t have any proof of purchase. You’ll simply have to purchase another ticket.

B: How much is that going to cost me?

A: It depends on how you want to travel. If you want a soft sleeper, it will cost 610 RMB; if you want a hard seat, it will only cost 100RMB.

B: I can’t possibly travel on a hard seat for 10 hour!

A: Looks like you might like the soft sleeper then.

B: Yes, fine. Let me see how much money I have I my wallet.

A: …sir?

B: Where’s my wallet? Someone has stolen my wallet!

A: Perhaps it’s in your other pocket.

B: You’re right. It is. Let me have a look. I have 419.6RMB. is that enough?

A: You’re just 4 mao short for the hard sleeper, but I’ll let it go. Anything for love!

B: Thanks, ma’am. You’re a lifesaver!
