Now you'll hear two long conversations.
Conversation One
M: ...And where do you recommend I shall stay?(19) What's the Holiday Inn like?
W: It's nice there. It's in the city centre and has all the usual business facilities you'll need. The service is first class.
M: Oh, good. So I'll get a room there. Now, what's the best way to get into the hotel from the airport? Should I take a taxi?
W: Well, (20)you can, but you don't have to. The subway system is very convenient.
M: Mmm..., Can you tell me something about the business hours? I mean, what time are the banks open?
W: The banks? They open at half past eight and close at four thirty.
M: I see. And are they open on Saturday too?
W: I'm afraid not. And I'd better warn you, the shops close early on Saturday. During the week they're open until half past six, but on Saturdays they close at four.
M: At four! Right. Now, what's the weather like at this time of year?
W: Well, it's (21)usually warm. But sometimes it turns very cold and wet. So don't forget to take what you may need with you. By the way, when are you going on this trip?
M: Oh, (22)not until the middle of the month. The fifteenth, I think. Anything else you want to advise me?
W: No, nothing I can see. It's a nice country, peaceful and calm, and people are friendly. I'm sure you'll enjoy your stay there.

Conversation Two
W: Bill, is that really you? I haven't seen you for months.
M: Hello, Christina. Yes, it has been a long time. Good to see you. How have you been?
W: I've been okay. I've just been so busy with school. We really should get together and catch up. How about joining me for dinner tonight?
M: (23) I'd love to, but I'm taking off for Miami at 8:00 tonight if everything goes well. I'm going home because my brother is getting married on Saturday morning.
W: That's great. Congratulations! I hope that you have a nice time at home. You'll just have to take a rain check on that dinner invitation.
M: Well, what are you doing now? Maybe we can go to the coffee shop and chat for a while. There is an attractive, little place I know of down the street.
W: (24) I really wish I could, but I'm on my way to the tennis courts.
M: Tennis courts? I didn't know you could play tennis.
W: It sounds like that, but actually I can't. (24) I'm taking lessons so I can learn. My roommate is on the tennis team and she's gotten me interested in the sport. Do you know how to play?
M: A little, but I haven't played for years. I really like the game, though. (25) When I come back from my trip, I think I'll join you in taking lessons.
W: It's a deal. Just give me a call when you get back.
M: You got it.
