스피킹 챌린지 III - Unit 19. Lost Bag ( as .. as, not as... as, twice as ... as ) Comparatives
Dialogue
I have a couple of questions, is this the right place to ask?
Yes, it is, ma'am. What are your questions?
Well first, my bag has not come out yet, and I have been waiting for a while.
Can you tell me what happened?
Let me check real quick, just wait a moment, please...
Okay, well, it seems that there was a complication.
They were checking the contents because they thought something was wrong with them.
Really? I just have clothes in there. I'm sure I didn't bring anything I'm not supposed to.
You can go to the baggage claim office of your airline and talk to them about the matter. Is there anything else I can help you with?
Also, I need to get to this address, and I was wondering what the best way to get there is.
May I have the address, please... thank you... well, this is in downtown, and I recommend taking the bus.
It will take as long as the taxi, but it will be a lot cheaper.
Thank you, and where can I go to take the bus?
After you retrieve your baggage, exit the nearest exit and go left.
You'll see lines of people waiting for the bus.
There will be a bus information center.
Tell them your address and they will tell you which bus to take.
Thank you so much!
You're welcome, and enjoy your trip.
