W: That sounds interesting. I’m British actually, and I came to Washington about three months ago. I’m looking for ways to meet people. What kinds of events do you organize?
M: Well, we have social get-togethers and sports events and we also have language evenings.
W: Could you tell me something about the language evenings?
M: Yes. Everyday except Thursday we have a language evening. People can come and practice their languages. You know, over a cocoa or something. We have different languages on different evenings. Monday, Spanish; Tuesday, Italian; Wednesday, German; and Friday, French. On Thursday we usually have a meal in a restaurant for anyone who wants to come.
W: Well, that sounds great. I really need to practice my French.
M: OK. Well, if you can just give me your name and address, I'll send you the form and some more information. If you join now, you can have the first month free.

W: So, I should talk to her again.
M: Yes, but don't argue with her. Just discuss it calmly.
W: OK, thanks.

Welcome on board. Welcome to Anderson Tour to Stonehenge and Bath. Well, we've got everyone here. My name is Lorra and I'll be your tour guide. Our driver is Gary. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask us. That's what we're here for.
First, just a few ways about safety. The coach is equipped with seat belts. In Britain it's required to fasten the belt. And for the comfort of others, we ask you there should be no food or drink on the coach.
Now to arrangements today. We'll first visit Stonehenge, a world famous historic sight. The journey takes about two hours depending on traffic. You'll have about one hour to explore the area, and your tour manager will advise you what time to be back on the coach.
We then leave Stonehenge and go on to Bath, a beautiful city standing on the River Avon among hills of England's Western Country. After you get there, the coach will drop you in the city centre. The tour manager will walk you into the world well-known Roman Baths built by the Romans in the 3rd century AD. And from this point on, you'll have free time to explore the city and grab some lunch.
15:30 is the departure time from Bath for your return journey back to London.
Hope you enjoy the trip.
