Listen to a conversation between a student and a university employee.
Student:
Hi Louis, I have that information you need for our club trip.
Employee:
I'm sorry, George, I don't remember, so many students have needed transportation
arrangements this week. Uh, which trip is it that you're organizing?
Student:
It's the jazz club trip. The one we're taking into the city to see that concert by the Victory Jazz
Quartet.
Employee:
Oh, right, that famous group you were telling me about. Last time we talked you didn't know
how many students wanted to go.
Student:
Well, according to the signup sheet, 27 students have bought a concert ticket and want a seat
on the bus.
Employee: 27 huh? That won't fill up a bus. We'll have to use a couple of vans which is
actually good. It will be easier for them to find parking in the city.
Student:
Okay. We were thinking that the bus, the vans, should leave around 3 o'clock, that way we'll
be in the city around 4:30.
Employee:
Or later. Don't forget about rush hour.
Student:
It will still give us plenty of time. We already have tickets but this theatre doesn't have
assigned seating so we need to get there early, like around 7:30, to get good seats.
Employee:
So what are you going to do with all that extra time?
Student:
Oh, go find dinner, walk around, whatever. Then we'll meet back at the theatre.
Employee:
why not eat together?
Student:
Well, if people get their own meals then we don't have to worry about restaurant reservations,
about finding a place that can handle such a large group.
Employee:
But if you all go separate ways there's bound to be somebody who will turn up late or get lost
or something.
Student:
Oh, I know this group they're not like that.
Employee:
You know, I have scheduled a lot of student trips .If I were you, I'd think about going out for
something like, oh say, pizza, some of those places are pretty big and who doesn't like pizza?
Student:
Well, I Will check with the group and see what they think. Anyway, the ticket say that the
concert ends at around 10 but I'm pretty sure it'll be later than that before we get out of the
theatre, you know, with encores and the crowds.
Employee:
Alright then I will have the vans pick you up at 10:15 but everybody better be there the van
drivers won't wait around.
Student:
Well, in that case let's make it a little later like 10:30?
Employee:
Alright, did you bring the deposit?
Student:
Yeah, I did what you suggested: asked everybody to give me some money to reserve their
space on the bus. They know they'll have to pay more once we know what the total is.
Employee:
I will have to run a few numbers to get the final cost. Vans are a lot cheaper than buses but
we'll have to pay for 2 drivers. They'll charge us by the hour. Of course you will get the
normal student discount from the van company and I'll deduct your deposit. I can let you
know the balance tomorrow.
Student:
Great, I'll come by after class.
