Station manager: Good afternoon. How can I help you?
Makayla: Hello … Erm … yes. I’ve just missed my train!
Station manager: Ah. Where are you going?
Makayla: To Manchester.
Station manager: Ah yes. That was the 16:20.
Makayla: What time’s the next one?
Station manager: Let’s see. The next train to Manchester leaves at 17:15 from platform 2.
Makayla: 17:15 … so that’s quarter past five … platform 2. What time does it get to Manchester?
Station manager: At 18:30.
Makayla: Half past six … erm … Can I use the same ticket?
Station manager: Just a moment, please. Can I see your ticket?
Makayla: Yes, here you are.
Station manager: Ah, sorry, no ... You can’t use this ticket on the 17:15 train.
Makayla: Really? Why not?
Station manager: This ticket is valid on trains before 5 and after 7 o’clock. During rush hour tickets are more expensive.
Makayla: Oh … do I have to buy another ticket?
Station manager: Yes, well, I can change your old ticket for a new ticket. Your ticket cost £7.50 and the new ticket is £11.00. So you just pay the difference, which is £3.50.
Makayla: Ah, OK, erm ... What platform is it from?
Station manager: Platform 2. Just over there, on the other side.
Makayla: OK, thanks. Bye.
Station manager: All right. Bye bye!

Hello,
This is really helpful I like this website thanks,I'm expecting more activities for speaking skills.
I did not travel by train but I would like to travel.And I had a problem on some journey.When I was little we were prepearing to go to Ankara but while we were going my ears start to bleed with no reason
yes, I like traveling by train.
Yes. I do. No, not really at all.
Unfortunately the train is offered in my country for touristic purposes. Bogota has not a train, which are able to transport huge quantity of people. There is a bus public transport instead of trains. Nevertheless, I do not enjoy travelling by bus to work or back home.
I really like "Britishcouncil" course. It is properly designed for foreign learners. Thank you!
I appreciate the "BritishCouncil" Course too, i suggest to the leader and member team of "BrithishCouncil-LearningEnglish" is that to share update lesson and a lot lesson, that we use more and more from this site,
hope all of you be fine

Yes, I like travelling by train because I can get sense of the country.If I drive somewhere, you can hardly pay any attention to your surroundings but if you choose to travel by train, you just have to sit,relax and admire the view from your comfortable sit.I think the problems that i had in my journey is getting sunburn.
I dont understand how can i use this web to get a certificat from britch council
