Clerk: What kind of food would you like?
Victor: I’m not Picky. I’m looking for something moderately priced That’s within Walking distance.
Clerk: There’s a good seafood restaurant called “Galeno’s” about two blocks away. Would you like me To make a reservation for you?
Victor: Thanks, but that won’t be necessary. I need To check with my guest before deciding. By the way, I’ll be in town for four days, and I’d like To see the sights.
Clerk: Is this your first time here?
Victor: Yes, it is.
Clerk: Then, I’d suggest seeing our Museums and the Botanical gardens, and Don’t miss the Shopping district near downtown.
Victor: Can I get there On foot?
Clerk: I’m afraid not. You can take a taxi or a bus. We have a very good Bus system. The other option is to take a tour. There are several tour companies that have day tours leaving from this hotel. Help yourself to their brochures. They’re over there.
Victor: Do you have a map showing where those sights are?
Clerk: Sure. Here you are. Is there anything else I can help you with?
Victor: No, that’s all. You’ve been a big help. Thanks.
