Dialogue at a booking office

– Good afternoon. Can I help you?

– Hello, I’d like to book a ticket to Kiev.

– What date do you want to leave?

– On the 25th of November.

– Single or return?

– Single, please?

– Do you prefer lower or upper berth?

– Lower, please. I’ve always been afraid of falling down. How much is the ticket?

– It depends on the class of the car. What class would you like?

– Second, certainly. I am a student. By the way, do you have discounts for students?

– Sure, it’s half the price of the ticket. So your charge is 60 hryvnyas.

– Here you are. And what time does the train start?

– It starts at 10.30 p.m. All the information you need is on your ticket: the date and time of departure, the car and place number, the charge and so on.

– Thanks a lot.

– Welcome. Have a nice journey.
