Staff: Hello, Gino's.
Jamie: Hi, I called earlier to book a table for four and I was wondering if I can make it for six instead?
Staff: Ah, what name was it?
Jamie: It's Jamie.
Staff: Table for four at half past seven. So you want to change it to 6 o'clock?
Jamie: No, sorry. Can I make it for six people?
Staff: Oh, I see. Sorry! That shouldn't be a problem. I can move you to a bigger table but it will be nearer the kitchen. Is that OK?
Jamie: No problem. Is it possible to change the time as well? Make it a little bit later?
Staff: Ah ... yeah, we can. Is eight OK for you?
Jamie: Perfect, thanks!
Staff: Lovely. See you tomorrow, then.
Jamie: Thanks! Bye!
Staff: Thanks. Ciao!

Excuse me,I have a question regarding this task.
Why in the preparation task has righr answer about halh eight as a 8.30?
Hi Russel Uz,
Thanks for your question. That is correct, "half eight" means the same as "half past eight", i.e. 8.30. You can say "half" with any hour (e.g. "Half twelve" means 12.30).
