NGHE VÀ ĐIỀN TỪ VÀO CHỖ TRỐNG

Good morning. Ace Accommodation; how can I help you?

Good morning. I'd like to organize some  on the Gold Coast, please. Certainly. Who am I speaking to?

Miss Mackinlay. Sylvia Mackinlay.

Could you for me please?

It's M-A-C-K-I-N-L-A-Y. Thank you. And your first name is Sylvia?

Yes.

Is that with an "" or a ""?

A 'y' the old fashioned way. That's S-Y-L-V-I-A. Thank you, Miss Mackinlay. Now, just for our records, can you tell me ?

Of course-it's England actually.

. Now, when are you coming?

Well, at the moment we're planning on .

Ooh, the 25th, that's the last day of the public holiday and to find something available on that date.

No, we're coming on the .

Oh, well that's fine then. We'll have lots of vacant by then although you wouldn't be able to move in until late afternoon because our cleaning crew . 

That suits us - our flight until early evening anyway.

How many of you will there be?

Just .

And how long do you intend to stay for?

Oh, , we'd like to stay longer but we'll have to get back to work. So, you're not coming on business then?

No, it's . Why? What difference does that make?

Oh, you'd be surprised. Business people -you know, wireless internet, even fax machines and photocopiers.

No, we won't need any of that stuff-we'll be , and get away from all that kind of thing.

Good. Now, what exactly are you ? A house, a duplex or an apartment?

What's a duplex?

Oh, that's what you might call a townhouse or a unit-you know, two houses semi-detached .

Oh, I see. I think an apartment .

And how many bedrooms? Two?

One or two- it . My sister and I don't mind sharing if it's a decent size bedroom with two beds.

Well, that .

And car parking? Will you require a lock-up ? They're a little harder to find with an apartment.

We'll have and as far as I know there are no regulations concerning car parking. I think and it's secure there shouldn't be any problems.

Okay. Now, I'm assuming you want something ?

Yes, that's the idea. We want to enjoy the surf, sand and sunshine.

Okay, but before we settle on an area and , I'll need to know about .

What do you mean?

Well, for example, do you want to be or the casino or the fun parks? Or do you want to be in a complex with or ?

No, none of that really matters to us but we'd like to to the so that we can drive up to Brisbane to visit friends there.

Well, there are quite a few lovely small towns to . There's Main Beach which is north of Surfers' Paradise or Mermaid Waters which is or Palm Beach which is quite a bit further south?

Mermaid Waters sounds . ls it close to the motorway?

Well, , the M 1 is actually closest to Palm Beach and prices are likely to be more reasonable there too.

That's , Palm Beach it is.

Now, if you'll just give me , I can send you information about the town and lots of photos.

Well, my email is S-M-A-C 13 at hotmail dot com.

And, one final thing, how much are you looking to spend per week ? Do you want something of the market-you know, newly redecorated, great views, all the mod cons ...

. Could we get something clean, comfortable and reasonable for $1200 a week?

Could you ? I've got a property in mind that you'll absolutely love but you'd have to go to 1500 - 1200 .

Alright, then. But that's our top limit.

Good. I’ll get on to this and there should be something in your inbox shortly.
