Focus: Improving Listening Skills Language: Communication of details ANNA: Excuse me, I have to leave early. COLIN: OK. How come? ANNA: It's my niece. She's at the airport. She's on her way to Japan. She said the travel agent gave her the wrong itinerary. She said she has to make three connections to get to Japan, and it will take two days to fly there. COLIN: It's gonna take two days? What's the problem? ANNA: She has to fly to Rome, then Paris, then Singapore and finally Japan. COLIN: Really? She's going to Paris, and she needs to change planes in Rome and then Singapore? ANNA: No, it's Rome first and then Paris second. COLIN: That doesn't make any sense. That's a bad itinerary. Why do you have to go to the airport? ANNA: She told me she has to pay a $100 fee to change her ticket. She doesn't have any money. COLIN: It sounds like she didn't prepare very well, doesn't it? ANNA: No, she didn't. But she is a teenager, and she hasn't traveled before. But unless she changes her ticket before her departure. . . she'll go to Rome, and she won't be able to get a direct flight to Japan. COLIN: Why not just call the travel agent? ANNA: It's 6:15. They close at 6:00. COLIN: Well, hurry up. You don't want to get there after they've made the boarding announcements.
