1. Asking for Change 换零钱

It is sometimes difficult to get change without buying something, so it's a good idea to carry change with you at all times. If you need change, you can buy something inexpensive like candy or a newspaper and ask for the coins you need.

1.A: Excuse me, but could you give me some change?

B: Let me see. Are dimes and quarters OK?

A: I want to make a long distance phone call.

B: Then you'll need small change.

2.A: Sorry to bother you, but do you have change for a one?

B: I'll have to look. What do you want it for?

A: I need it for the parking meter.

B: I can give you quarters, if that'll help.

3.A: Pardon me, but I was wondering if you could break a one.

B: Let me look. What do you need?

A: I need the change for the stamp machine.

B: I think dimes and quarters will do.

4.A: Excuse me, could you give me change for a dollar?

B: I'll see what I have. What do you need it for?

A: I want to get cigarettes.

B: You can use quarters, dimes and nickels.

2. Making a Telephone Call 打xx（1）

The telephone system in the United States, as in many other countries, has a special number for each region of the country. It is called as \"area code\". If you know the area code and the phone number, it's usually cheaper to dial the number yourself. Of course, you must go through an operator to make person-to-person or collect calls. You can dial direct to many countries

overseas or you can ask for the overseas operator.

1.A:Operator.

B:I'd like to make a collect call to Los Angeles. That's area code 213-486-2435.

A:And what's the name of the person you want to speak to?

B:Susan Greene.

2.A:Operator.

B:Yes, Operator. I'd like to place a person-to-person call to Chicago. The number is

932-87, but I don't know the area code.

A:Who do you want to speak to?

B:I'll speak to anyone at extension 214.

3.A:Operator.

B:I want to make a person-to-person call to 212-836-1725.

A:And the name of the person you're calling, please?

B:Ed Cooper. That's C double O-P-E-R.

4.A:Operator.

B:Operator, I'd like to place a call to Winnipeg, Canada. The number is

932-0806.

A:What's the name of the party you're calling?

B:I'm not sure of the name, but the extension is 211.

4. Asking for Directions 问路

People are usually helpful when you ask for directions. You should try to have the exact address and be as specific as possible. Telephone directories are the most mon source of addresses. Remember that many cities and some towns are built in \"blocks\". People will often tell you, for example, to \"go two blocks and turn right.\"

1.A:Excuse me, Can you tell me where Main Street is?

A:Thanks.

B:Sure. Have a good day.

5. Taking a Taxi 乘出租汽车

Taxi fares vary from city to city. In some cities, taxis have meters that tell you the fare. For long rides, it is a good idea to ask in advance what the approximate fare will be. This is especially true if you're taking a taxi from an airport. You should tip taxi drivers about 15% of the total fare.

1.A: Kennedy Airport, please. I have to be there by 7:00.

Airline Clerk : Would you put all your baggage on the scale, please?....Ah, thirty-eight kilos.

Mrs. Fu : Is that inside the free allowance?

B:What? Why! I am taking an intercontinental flight!I'm flying sixteen thousand kms! How am I supposed to only take two, twenty kilo bags? That's absurd!

A:I am sorry, sir, there's nothing I can do. You cannot board the flight with that large bag either.Carry-on bags must fit in the over-head partment or under your seat. That bag is clearly too big.

B:Now I see. You charge next to nothing for an international ticket, but when it es to charging for any other small thing, you charge an arm and a leg! So tell me,

miss, how much will I have to pay for all of this.
