Gina: Excuse me, we would like to check
in.
Hotel staff member: Of course. Could I have your passport and
credit card, please?
Gina: Here you go.
Hotel staff member: Okay, you’re all set. Here are your
keycards. You and your children have
adjoining rooms on the fourth
floor.
Paul: Thank you. We’re looking for a place to have dinner tonight.
Do you have any suggestions?
Hotel staff member: I
suggest going to a
barbecue restaurant. The style of barbecue in
Kansas City is unique. It has a
mouthwatering
tomato-
molasses sauce.
Gina: Is there a good barbecue restaurant nearby?
Hotel staff member: Yes, there’s one
right around the
corner.
