alien: I have come to speak to the dead. Yes, I have that ability.
father: Do you speak to them now? Pray tell me, what they say to you!
alien: This one says that men enjoy the company of women, sometimes too much. What does this mean?
father: Ah, he speaks wisely; but I fear that not being human, you would find this impossible to understand. It is a great mystery, even among our own kind. Tell me, do you procreate where you come from? Do you have a family?
alien: We reproduce from rocks. Rocks give birth to us. Is it like that here?
father: Oh no!! Rocks bring no life here. I would wish to explain more to you, but I do have a family and I needs soon return to them; to find food and somehow some water - they are in great need and may soon perish! I bid you, let me go on my way!
alien: No. Stay here and answer my questions. I have slowed time so that no moments pass as we do this.

enemy: Well THIS isn't at all what it looked like in the brochure
barn cat: It is a dark place indeed. But don't let that put you off your holiday. You relax...
enemy: Well I think I will put in a strongly worded letter. Nonetheless, I suppose that when one is an enemy of the King and on the run, one cannot be too choosy
barn cat: Why are you on the run?
enemy: I am avenging a blood feud between my family and that of the King. He's probably in the right, but I fancied a change of scenery. Not quite sure this was it though.
barn cat: I've never met such an even handed outlaw!

Marketing: Like They like I guess use the buttons a lot I do not know It is from my research My team was not very clear
User Interface: Only use ten percent of the buttons
Project Manager: What do you mean by the current remote controls do not match well with the operating behaviour of the user like they have to press the buttons
Marketing: That is I I think it is like the engineering versus user whereas like the engineering she showed that the engineering ones are more complex and users do not really need all of the buttons that are contained on there because they only use ten percent of the buttons really
Industrial Designer: We only use ten per cent of our brains
Marketing: It is a necessary evil
|
According to the lab tests, users only use ten percent of the buttons on a remote. It was shown that users didn't really need all the buttons provided by current remotes, and it would be more user-friendly if their new remote could lose the unnecessary ones. The most frequently used buttons were those for the channel, the volume and the power on/off.

Jess: Guys, last night I dreamt I was a lion tamer, does it mean I should go to Africa this summer? XD
Lynn: Or maybe you'll meet a handsome zookeeper? :D
Charlie: Or you'll get attacked by a stray cat?
Lynn: You've just spoiled all the fun! :P
Jess: Knowing my luck, Charlie might be the closest to the truth.
Charlie: Do you really believe that dreams can mean something?
Jess: No, of course not! I was just joking. It was such a surreal dream that I had to share it with you ;)
Lynn: Well...
Jess: Do you believe in dreams, Lynn?
Lynn: I'm not saying I believe, but I think that sometimes it is possible that our dreams are telling us something. Not like they can show us our future or anything like that, it's just that dreams reflect our subconsciousness, don't you think?
Jess: I guess?
Charlie: I've read somewhere that when we see strangers in our dreams, in fact we must have seen them somewhere before. Our brain is not able to create such images on its own, it must have registered some random people's faces, and it uses them when we dream.
Jess: So you're telling me the circus owner from my dream can really be some gentleman who lives in my neighbourhood?
Charlie: Exactly! You don't even remember his face, but after you saw it just once, your brain keeps it somewhere in storage.
Lynn: WOW, it sounds really cool!
|
Jess dreamt she was a lion tamer. Lynn believes that dreams mean something. Charlie has read that strangers from our dreams are actually people who we've seen before.

User Interface: and and then we can add on specific functional buttons for children as well as the elderly people or the people wit with who have nervous problems yes
Industrial Designer: We can design different remotes for different people like for aged people there will be big buttons and you know
Project Manager: Well that is that is
User Interface: But in a family in a family there will be a aged person children and a middle aged but they can not buy three different remotes They would like to buy just one and just one which can be used all the three
Industrial Designer: of course that we can do but specifically if y if like elderly people want big buttons then you can not really make a bi big remote controller so maybe specifically you can design a big con remote controller for elderly and for children like in a different you know
Marketing: What about the electronics ? That is not really going to change much is it ?
Industrial Designer: No it it does not cost
Marketing: That that w that will not change much will it ?
Industrial Designer: Does not does not does not matter
Project Manager: The the quest the question to be addressed here is only who is the target group and how will it function
Marketing: I d I would not think so
Project Manager: and I think the how will it function is probably the question of the buttons you know within the target group or subgroups The question is only whether our budget will allow to have more than one design in a sense I mean the basic design I understand will be the same but the question is how much will that set us back if let us say forty percent we make large buttons and the rest we make regular buttons for example So that remains to s to be seen but the target group as a whole is is basically everybody with a TV
Marketing: and can we can we is it even feasible to make one one remote control with something for everyone or would we have to use the same electronics and make three different shapes ?
Project Manager: well that is that is the question
Marketing: the same electronics and basically all that is going to be different is the plastic case And in that case we could probabl moulded plastic is not all that expensive is it ?
Industrial Designer: no Mm I I I do not think no It is not
Marketing: you as an industrial person ?
Project Manager: Well maybe there is there is an idea you know t the new for example new portable phones ?
|
User Interface suggested adding specific functional buttons for children or the elderly or people with nervous problems. Industrial Designer replied that it wouldn't cost much. Project Manager suggested that they can make forty percent of the remotes with large buttons and regular buttons for the rest. To sum it up, if the budget permits, they can address some features for certain subgroups.

Sharie: It’s not giving up, it’s a common sense.
Olivia: If you think so… Me and Mikel, we’re ready to do it.
Sharie: Good luck, if you manage, I swear I’ll drink five Redbull drinks in an hour.
Olivia: Haha, OK, brace yourself cause we’re doing it ;)
Sharie: And how was the last one?
Olivia: Oh, yes… We got the results, but it was almost equal with the expected results, so it was sort of at the limit.
Sharie: Well it’s not easy since last year the expectations are pretty high.
Olivia: Yes, they are… But what can you do…
Sharie: Change the job ;-)
Olivia: Huh, I don’t know about you, but I like my salary, so I’m staying.
Sharie: Cool down, just a joke :P

Sharie doesn't want to join the new project at work because she finds it undoable. Olivia and Mikel have decided to work on it. Their last project went as expected. Olivia likes her current salary so she wouldn't like to change jobs.

man: I am a blacksmith. I make swords and armor. Recently I have been out of work though. What does a lizard like you do all day?
lizards: That sounds admirable. I do hope work picks up for you! Oh usually I spend my days near my favorite watering hole waiting for juicy snacks. I like to sit in the sun too. I'm rather easy and relaxed.
man: Eating the small flies that pass by? That sounds like the life. I wish I were born a lizard like you sometimes.
lizards: Oh they are delightful! Nothing is better than flicking out my tongue and reeling in a great big juicy snack. What do you do since you are not working?
man: I have been making trinkets of sorts, things to sell to passing by travelers. I sell one every once in a while but thats not enough. I really enjoy making things though.

rabbit: Thank you ever so much! I feel so safe now.
cow: Of course! I have to protect my calf from them too
rabbit: They can be tricksy those foxes. If I hop on your back I could look behind so they can't sneak up on us.
cow: Yes, okay. The farmer will probably be very confused if he sees you sitting on my back
rabbit: Yes, and I don't trust that farmer - why does he take cows away but they never come back?
cow: Don't know. I have been here providing him milk for years
rabbit: But what about the old milk cows? When they don't provide as much milk anymore? He also sends them away.
cow: Are you saying they are going to eat me!?
rabbit: Well, I can't say for sure - but have you ever heard from any of the cows after they left?
cow: I can't talk to cows unless they're in the field with me silly
rabbit: Yes, but they don't ever come back to the field, that's my point.

Cow and rabbit are protecting their calves from foxes. Rabbit will sit on cow's back to protect them from foxes.

Lynne Neagle AM: Just one final question from me on this then As you know mental health and the emotional health of our children and young people is a very core issue for this committee and Estyn have said that studying the skills challenge certificate alongside three or four Alevels is a significant factor in causing stress for some young people How do you respond to that ?
Kirsty Williams AM: Well I would be the first to acknowledge that studying Alevels can be a very stressful time That is because students rightly regard those qualifications as high stakes and as having a profound effect on the opportunities for the rest of their lives So the mere fact of studying Alevels can be a really stressful time for students because they understand how important they are and students want to do well and they want to be able to move on to the next stage either of work or of university We also know—and Estyn reflects this—that students are also often trying to combine that with parttime jobs These students are of an age when they want to be out and about and earning some of their own money and being a bit more independent So that adds added pressure to them So undoubtedly this is a stressful time in young peoples lives and we need to ensure that there is support in school to support young people through this time to make sure that students are making the right choices in terms of their Alevels and the qualifications that they are doing so they are not having to do more because they are under the impression that by doing more that is going to make them more likely to succeed What we know actually is it is about the quality of what you do rather than the entirety of what you do that is important to universities and we need to make sure that students are getting really good information advice and guidance and support at what is a challenging time in their lives because of course it comes on top of working really hard for your GCSEs and then you have the following year ASlevel examinations and Alevel examinations after that So these are stressful times in childrens lives and they realise the importance of these as highstakes qualifications
|
Kirsty Williams admitted that the qualification examinations would bring pressure to students. In fact, as he pointed out, students were prone to form a wrong impression that the more they had achieved, the more successful they would get. Thus, he expressed his desire to guide the students to make the right decisions in terms of their A-Levels and baccalaureate.

Barbara: What game did we play last night on PS4?
Barbara: It was so much fun!
Stanley: It's called Beat Saber.
Stanley: I feel my muscles after all this swinging :D
Barbara: Maybe we'll get ourselves PS4 with PS Move?
Barbara: PC is upstairs anyway. We could buy a console to have some entertainment downstairs.
Stanley: In future, yeah. Could be a good idea.
Stanley: But I'd like to remind you we have a car to repair and it's not gonna be cheap :/
Barbara: Ehh. I know.
Barbara: There will be PS6 probably by the time we are able to afford a console :/
Stanley: Haha. No worries. Time flies by. Blink 3 times and it's two years from now.
Barbara: Unfortunately, you're right. It's 2018 and just a moment ago it was 2012.
Stanley: Yup. How come it's so fast?!
Barbara: It will get faster and faster. By the time we reach 30 years old we will be frustrated by the pace of our life.
Barbara: Men have it rough.
Barbara: It's called middle age crisis :P
Stanley: Haha. You mean the time when I'll start returning to my youth dreams and start realizing them at last?
Barbara: Yep. Exactly as your dad :P
Stanley: Haha! I hope we'll get through this together :D
Barbara: Totally! As long as I'm concerned, I'm not going anywhere :D
Stanley: Did you book a table at Violet Sushi?
Barbara: Yes. We have reservation for 6 people at 6 p.m
Stanley: Fantastic! I'll pick up our friends at we'll meet there.
Barbara: Sure! In case something changes, I'll let you know.
Stanley: See you there.
Barbara: <3

#Person1#: Parcel Express, good morning! How can I help you?
#Person2#: Good morning. I'm thinking of sending a parcel to New York next week. Can you tell me what the procedure is, please?
#Person1#: Certainly. When you ring us, we need the following information. The invoice address: that's probably your address, isn't it? And then, the pickup address. That's different. And the contact phone number.
#Person2#: Just a moment. I'm taking notes. Phone number, right.
#Person1#: Then we need the full name, address and phone number of the person you are sending the parcel to.
#Person2#: Ok, anything else?
#Person1#: Yes, the weight and dimensions of the parcel. That's height, weight and length. And the value of the goods and full description.
#Person2#: Value, description.
#Person1#: Yes, but don't seal the parcel. You need to leave it open so that the driver can check the contents when he collects it. After the recent bombing, the airline said that we'd have to check all parcels. They told us we had to do it.
#Person2#: Fine. Now last question. How long will the parcel take to get to New York?
#Person1#: One to two working days. There are daily flights at midday. And if we collect the parcel from you at 10:15 then your parcel catches that flight and it will arrive in 24 hours.
#Person2#: Right. Thank you very much. You've been very helpful.
#Person1#: Not at all. Goodbye.
#Person2#: Goodbye.

#Person1#: Well, you must be happy, Nathan you're almost ready to go to Chicago for your practice. We're sure going to miss you around here.
#Person2#: I'll miss you too, mom. But yeah, I'm excited about my summer. And don't be too sad. I'll be back in a few months, in time for the first day of school. By winter break, you'll hardly remember I was even gone.
#Person1#: So how do you think you'll do in the big city? Are you worried about working for a big newspaper like the Chicago Tribune?
#Person2#: Not really. I'm not afraid of hard work and I know how to organize my day. I think I'll do a good job.
#Person1#: But doing for practice isn't just for the company to profit, is it? It's also for you to get experience. Do you even know what you'll be doing?
#Person2#: I'm not worried about that. I've got a lot of natural curiosity. And I'm very social, I'm sure I'll learn from all the other people there.
#Person1#: What if they stick you in some backroom by yourself just copying papers or taking out the trash?
#Person2#: I don't think that will happen. They asked for someone who was good at editing, organizing computer files and keeping track of deadlines. And I already know who I'll be working with, one of their regular writers.
#Person1#: That's good, so you will probably get some on the job training. This is such a great opportunity for you.

#Person1#: Have you considered upgrading your system?
#Person2#: Yes, but I'm not sure what exactly I would need.
#Person1#: You could consider adding a painting program to your software. It would allow you to make up your own flyers and banners for advertising.
#Person2#: That would be a definite bonus.
#Person1#: You might also want to upgrade your hardware because it is pretty outdated now.
#Person2#: How can we do that?
#Person1#: You'd probably need a faster processor, to begin with. And you also need a more powerful hard disc, more memory and a faster modem. Do you have a CD-ROM drive?
#Person2#: No.

Katie: I need a new winter coat, any suggestions are welcome.
Emily: eBay :P
Sara: I wanted to say the same thing! I spent most of the weekend at the mall. Three different malls, actually. There's only that oversized crap everywhere :/
Emily: Exactly. I hate that when something's fashionable, you can barely find anything else.
Katie: That's what I meant when I asked for suggestions. I look stupid in those oversized coats, I'm too short and plump for them.
Sara: And I'm looking for something smart. I can't walk around with my rich-ass customers looking like a mountain climber on Mount Everest :P
Katie: I've just checked out eBay and there's lots of nice stuff there, but there's another problem...
Emily: Which is?
Katie: Too much choice! When I'm at a store, I have a limited number of clothes, it's easier to pick out the ones that seem interesting to me. On eBay there's too many of them and at the same time pictures can't show me what exactly they look like. I simply don't think that eBay is for me :(

Mrs. Tracy Gray (KelownaLake Country, CPC): Mr Chair the COVID19 pandemic has shown how important it is to be able to move our goods interprovincially Christian Buhagiar of Supply Chain Canada called for the government to revisit interprovincial trade regulations to ensure we can quickly move production and distribution from one region to another during times of emergency Will the government commit to immediately examine all our trade barriers that can affect interprovincial trade of essential goods due to COVID19 ?
Hon. Chrystia Freeland: I would like to thank the member opposite for her excellent point Our government is very committed to removing barriers to interprovincial trade It is something that we have been working on with the premiers Obviously the coronavirus has taken precedence in recent weeks but it is a priority It is the right thing to do
Mrs. Tracy Gray: Mr Chair the federal government has a regulatory reconciliation table as part of the Canada free trade agreement focusing on breaking down interprovincial trade barriers Due to COVID19 it has been announced that deadlines for all of these items may be delayed What is the government doing to ensure there will not be delays on these items ?
Hon. Chrystia Freeland: Mr Chair it is absolutely right and appropriate for first ministers who have been meeting every week for more than two months to be focusing on the urgent threat posed by the coronavirus However I agree with the member opposite that we need to lift barriers to interprovincial trade That is something we are committed to doing and to working on with the premiers

#Person1#: How was your doctors' appointment?
#Person2#: It was fine. He says that I'm pretty healthy overall. But I told him that I have trouble sleeping sometimes and he offered me sleeping pills.
#Person1#: Did you take them?
#Person2#: No, I'm afraid they're harmful to my health.
#Person1#: So what are you going to do?
#Person2#: I think I will schedule an appointment with the psychologist. Maybe I can't sleep because I have too much anxiety. Talking to someone may help.
#Person1#: You know I used to have trouble sleeping and I found a few things that help. If I exercise outdoors in the morning, it relaxes me all day. Also, if I don't use my phone or computer after 8:00 pm, then I can easily fall asleep at 10.
#Person2#: Those are good suggestions. Maybe I should try those things before I pay to see a psychologist.
#Person1#: Yeah, you might as well try.

#Person1#: Have you ever been invited to a Chinese feast?
#Person2#: Sure. Beijingers are distinguished for their warmth and hospitality.
#Person1#: As far as you could see, is dining at a Chinese table a distinct experience? To what extent does it differ from that in your homeland?
#Person2#: To begin with, I have to use chopsticks.
#Person1#: But you look quite proficient in using them now.
#Person2#: Certainly. After all, I've been here for two years. It's not much uphill work for a foreigner to get used to Chinese dinner utensils. Though, I do feel hazy about how to behave appropriately at a Chinese table.
#Person1#: Yes, table etiquette. There are a multitude of rules that foreigners might never know until they were told. Some practices even appear somewhat awkward or rude to Westerners, while they are the norm in China. Hey! Your chopsticks, old silly! You should never stab your chopsticks into the rice bowl!
#Person2#: Anything wrong with that?
#Person1#: Maybe you should have placed them horizontally over your bowl or plate. They resemble two incense sticks used at sacrifices for the death. It's very inauspicious, and might enrage all present.
#Person2#: Oh, sorry! There's a long story even with a mere pair of sticks.

#Person1# and #Person2# talk about the difference in table etiquette in China. They both feel hazy about Chinese table etiquette and wrong use of chopsticks can lead to people's enrage.

Project Manager: and we can maybe see if we can do something with the infrared But I do not know if that will exceed the production costs So that that is something we have to find out I think
Marketing: But that would be really good if we could do that
Project Manager: And other functions for a remote control ? Maybe we can make it
Marketing: Think it has to be shock proof my remote control tends to fall a lot
Project Manager: Waterproof So these are our a few things we can think of I will put the minutes from this meeting in our project folder
Marketing: one other little thing Thought it might be handy to put a battery status display on it how much is left in the battery But they will also really drag up the production costs so think we will have to see about that too But maybe just a little LED I do not know
Project Manager: That is an idea as well Other ideas ? Quick ideas
|
Infra-red was mentioned by Project Manager along with the multipurpose function. Marketing proposed shock proof. User Interface put forward waterproof. And then Marketing went on to offer battery status display as an optional choice, which he had no idea was a great production cost driver or just a tiny LED.

Lynne Neagle AM: Thank you very much And the next questions then are from Suzy Davies
Suzy Davies AM: Thank you Chair I just wanted to have a quick answer from probably the Minister I think about the primary legislation and the regulations that followed about which childrens rights impact assessments have been done Have any been done and can they be shared with the committee if they have ? Sorry Deputy Minister—my mistake
Julie Morgan AM: Well it is been a very difficult time as you appreciate in terms of having to make legislation very quickly and it has not been possible to do the impact assessments that we would normally do However I am very pleased to say that we are actually launching a survey of children We are going to be launching it next week And this is to try to get from children their views of what is happened what we have been doing and their views on the whole COVID19 situation So we are doing this in conjunction with the childrens commissioner and with Young Wales and with the Youth Parliament So this is an online survey that we hope will be going out to thousands of children and we will get their response in terms of what are the important issues that have arisen for them what they feel about what is happened during this period what they feel about the way that we have dealt with the schools the way that they have had to cope in not going school and being at home for so long And so we are trying to get feedback from young people So I am very pleased that we are doing that but in terms of an impact assessment it has been very difficult as I am sure you can imagine to be able to do those at these times I think that Albert wants to come in on that
Suzy Davies AM: Yes because I will pursue that in a sec
Albert Heaney: Thank you Thank you Chair and I think Nicola indicated before me so apologies Nicola Just to say for the committee really importantly that we have not introduced any easements in relation to childrens services legislation I think that is really quite crucial So from a Welsh context the standards that are in place do remain so therefore there would not have been a necessity for us to do a childrens rights impact assessment in relation to the primary legislation I think that is particularly a strong point to us in Wales both in terms of safeguarding arrangements but also ensuring that childrens rights are protected at a crucial time
Nicola Edwards: Thanks In terms of childcare and education we are obviously looking at the provisions under the coronavirus Act to allow us to maybe ease some of the statutory requirements and we are going to be undertaking a full suite of impact assessments on those Obviously the coronavirus Act itself was UK Government legislation and they ran their own impact assessments but in terms of how we implement it in the childcare and education space—and I think Albert was just saying the same thing—we definitely will be looking at those impacts in terms of going forward
Suzy Davies AM: Well just to come back on that then are you saying to me that as a result of the various coronavirus regulations that we have had no assessments for childrens needs have been postponed cancelled or done very quickly online rather than in person ?
Julie Morgan AM: Well I think as Albert said that there was no relaxation of regulation for childrens social care You know that is—there have not been any in Wales
Suzy Davies AM: No but that is what— There is no relaxation but what is happening in practice ? We are down on staff across all our councils and in our third sectors—who is doing the childrens needs assessments particularly for young carers ?
Julie Morgan AM: Well I— Albert can you answer that ?
Albert Heaney: I think the first thing to say to the committee is that going back we took a very strong line at the beginning that we were not going to introduce easements in requirements to childrens social services Of course through the way that practitioners and social work practitioners have to operate they are having to operate through a different time So assessments are still taking place for child protection and safeguarding concerns assessments are still taking place and especially in relation to—as you mentioned—young carers to support their needs So arrangements—Inaudible But they are having to be slightly differently done—so some of the technology and keeping in contact and keeping those visits So we have used for example the St Davids Day fund to make sure that care leavers are well supported in terms of having contact and are accessible and able to engage as well So we are having to be a little bit more—and social services departments are having to be a little bit more—innovative in the use of technology in the way that they have engaged as well But personal visits are taking place and visits especially as the Minister mentioned earlier on—they actually individually assess each case to determine the frequency of visits to make sure that those contacts are maintained with children at a critical time
Suzy Davies AM: Thank you I do not want to take this much further but personal visits and social distancing could be slightly problematic I just want to finish with this one question if I may We have had recommendations from the Carers Trust or Carers Trust Wales Have they been accepted by Government and is it those that are driving the agenda of the task and finish group that you announced the other day Deputy Minister ?
Julie Morgan AM: Well those will certainly be considered by the task and finish group I have had a letter from the Carers Trust about those issues and we are setting up this group as you know and we will be looking at those issues in the group
Suzy Davies AM: Thank you Any steal on when that might report ?
Julie Morgan AM: I do not have that at the moment
Lynne Neagle AM: Maybe we could have a note on that Deputy Minister Can I just say we are running short of time ? We did start late so if the Ministers are happy we will carry on until 210 pm—310 pm—if that is And the next questions are from Siân Gwenllian Hold on a sec Siân we have lost translation again Can we just see what can be done to get the translation back ? Sorry Siân Is there anyone who can help with the translation ? There you go Siân Thank you
Sian Gwenllian AM: You will know Deputy Minister—because we have discussed this in private session—my major concerns with regard to the childcare sector and what kind of childcare sector we will have at the end of this crisis as families start to return to the workplace There are still some childcare providers who are falling between the cracks and are not receiving financial support Do you agree—are there people who are still not being supported and why is not the Welsh Government able to provide that support for everyone in the childcare sector ?
Julie Morgan AM: Thank you Siân for that question And I know that we have had a discussion about this before Basically we are aware that there are some sectors in the childcare sector that do fall through some of the loops We have guaranteed that we will pay the money for the childcare offer for three months So that is guaranteed to them and they are able to take advantage of the Governments job retainer scheme but that does mean that there is a problem as I think we have discussed before of the double funding issue and that is something that we have been trying to resolve and there have been discussions with the Treasury in Whitehall about ways forward on this I am going to ask Nicola to come in in a minute because she is much more up to date with the discussions about that but so far I do not think very much progress has been made on that But we are looking to see if there are any other ways that we can get help to the childcare sector and I am actually following this meeting with a meeting with the Deputy Minister for equality and chief whip who is responsible for the voluntary sector because obviously many of the groups that we are talking about would come under the voluntary sector because they have voluntary committees but they fall between many stools because they rent premises rather than own premises and they do not have high turnovers that would qualify them for some of these grants So perhaps I could ask Nicola to come in to expand on that

In terms of their evaluations on the legitimacy of the children's rights, protection and demands, it was said that the group was launching a survey of children to see what the children were thinking over the outbreak of the COVID-19. The survey was carried online, asking mainly about whether the students were willing to go back to school and how they view other related problems. However, there were still indeed some drawbacks of their evaluations over the coronavirus Act. For example, the group thought that they should go further and view the laws from a future perspective, and assess each case individually more closely.

#Person1#: I'm coming to pick up my ticket. This is my reservation note.
#Person2#: Your reservation is right. Please get a ticket booking form from there and fill it.
#Person1#: Here you are. How much is the ticket?
#Person2#: $ 800.
#Person1#: Can I pay by card?
#Person2#: Surely of course. Give me your card please.
|
#Person1# buys a ticket under #Person2#'s guidance.

#Person1#: How can I help you?
#Person2#: I seem to have lost my train ticket.
#Person1#: What's your destination?
#Person2#: I'm supposed to be going to shanghai.
#Person1#: Ok. When is your train supposed to leave?
#Person2#: It's supposed to leave in 30 minutes.
#Person1#: OH, dear. What's your last name, please?
#Person2#: S M I T H.
#Person1#: And your passport number?
#Person2#: Z3264356.
#Person1#: Let me see. . . it doesn't look like we have any information about your ticket here.
#Person2#: 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.
#Person1#: Oh dear. I'm really sorry, sir. But you don't have any proof of purchase. You'll simply have to purchase another ticket.
#Person2#: How much is that going to cost me?
#Person1#: 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.
#Person2#: I can't possibly travel on a hard seat for 10 hours!
#Person1#: looks like you might like the soft sleeper then.
#Person2#: Yes, fine. Let me see how much money I have in my wallet.
#Person1#: . . . sir?
#Person2#: Where's my wallet? Someone has stolen my wallet!
#Person1#: Perhaps it's in your other pocket.
#Person2#: You're right. It is. Let me have a look. I have 419. 6 RMB. is that enough?
#Person1#: You're just 4 mao short for the hard sleeper, but I'll let it go. Anything for love!
#Person2#: Thanks, ma'am. You're a lifesaver!
