Transcript
Stephen: Right, I think we’ve got everything.
Ashlie: Here, let me help you with that.
Stephen: No, it’s OK, I’ve got it.
Ashlie: We’re here in the beautiful mountains of Snowdonia in North Wales. We’re here for a short relaxing break. We’re going to put our feet up and have a complete rest for a couple of days. That’s right, isn’t it Stephen?
Stephen: Speak for yourself, Ash. Snowdonia is a great place for outdoor activities. You can go climbing, cycling, walking... I can’t wait to get out onto the mountains and get some fresh air. Come on Ash. Let’s check in.
Receptionist: Hi - Can I help you?
Ashlie: Hi, yes. We have a reservation for two nights.
Receptionist: OK, what’s the name, please?
Ashlie: Walker.
Receptionist: Walker. Is that Stephen and Ashlie?
Ashlie: Yes.
Receptionist: Two rooms for two nights?
Ashlie: Yes.
Receptionist: Can I just get you to fill this in, please?
Ashlie: Sure.
Stephen: Hey Ash, have you seen all these leaflets? There’s loads of stuff to do here. I’m going to hire a bike and ride to the top of the mountain. Do you want to come?
Ashlie: What, now? You’re joking, aren’t you?
Stephen: Yeah – take these, can I have my room key, please? Thank you. I’m going to go get changed. I’ll meet you back here in twenty minutes.
Ashlie: OK.
.....
Ashlie: OK, so I think I'll have the manicure, the pedicure...
Assistant: OK.
Ashlie: Oh, and I’ll have that Indian head massage, too. And can you just tell me, what’s the hot stones massage?
Assistant: Well, we use volcanic rock. You know, stones from a volcano; we heat them up and then we massage them over your body. It’s really relaxing.
Ashlie: Yeah, that sounds nice. Maybe I’ll have that, too. Oh, and I see you do treatments for men?
Assistant: Yeah, we do a lot of treatments for men.
Ashlie: Stephen doesn't know what he's missing.
.....
Ashlie: Look at you!
Stephen: It’s great, isn’t it? I’m all set to go. What are you going to do while I’m racing to the top of the mountain?
Ashlie: Well, I thought I might try this… It looks really relaxing and much better than cycling to the top of some old mountain.
Stephen: Yeah, it looks like hard work.
Ashlie: Go on you, get going. Have a good time – and call me later.
Stephen: Bye.
Ashlie: Bye.
.....
Ashlie: This is just so relaxing.
.....
Ashlie: Hello.
Stephen: Hi, Ashlie.
Ashlie: Hi, Stephen. How are you doing?
Stephen: I’m... exhausted. I can hardly speak.
Ashlie: Me too. This is lovely. I’m so relaxed.
Stephen: Ah, this is really tough. I’ve got a long way to go but I'm going to make it to the top.
Ashlie: OK, then – well you just take it easy.
Stephen: Yeah, alright.
Ashlie: OK, see you later.
Stephen: OK, bye!
Ashlie: Snowden Mountain Railway. I think he’ll see me sooner than he thinks!

•Have you tried any other web pages on LearnEnglish?
I have only problem in all site. In another site, Big City Small World, it appears the mensenger ``Flash was unable to load.You either have JavaScript turned off, an old version of Macromedia's Flash Player or the Flash Player is not compatible with this platform.``
•Do you still have the same problem if you use a different computer?
No

Hello Jonatas!
By I have only problem in all site, do you mean you have the same problem everywhere?
It sounds like you might need to update your Flash or you may need to change the settings on your Internet Explorer. To update Flash, go to Adobe's website. To check your Internet Explorer settings, go to the Settings menu and choose Internet Options. Look at the Security tab. Make sure the Security Level is at Medium to High (the middle setting).
Let me know if that helps!

first of all I would like to thank you for your effort really it is useful for me to learn English well and fast .
can I suggest that if you use subtitles instead of transcript .becouse I think it will be useful if I see the subtitles while watching .
Regards
team
Hello,
Thanks for your nice words.
We actually think it is less useful to have subtitles than transcripts. We feel that when learners have subtitles, they don't improve their listening and understanding as well as when they are focussing on just the audio.
Best wishes,

Yeah! Great Britain is a one of the greatest places in the world as Azerbaijan :)) Amazing view of resorts , mountains, rivers etc.
Stephen is full of energy to go cycling but looks dissatisfied of his mountain trip :) I think to get men treatments after this extreme tour would be useful for him :)
During check-in to our hotel or in time conversation with our guests in Baku we never use "can". Our trainers ask us to use "may" in stead of "can" that it is more polite, is it not ?
