[00:04.10]3.While you listen
[00:10.58]Recommending a website
[00:14.94]You are going to listen to a conversation between two friends who meet in the street.
[00:22.02]Are you booking your summer holiday already.then?
[00:29.15]Oh.hello.Simon.I didn’t see you there.
[00:33.99]No.no.It’s Karen’s birthday in a few weeks’ time and I was thinking of taking her away
[00:41.22]somewhere for the weekend.
[00:44.98]There’s not much on offer,though.
[00:49.42]Well,have you got access to the Internet?
[00:54.10]Yeah,well.we’re connected at work.Right.Well.why don’t you try that?
[01:01.15]You can sometimes get some really good last-minute deals online.
[01:07.21]To be honest.I’ve never really had much luck buying things on the Internet.
[01:14.29]The other day,I tried to book some train tickets on Ticketline.com.but it was just so complicated 2.
[01:23.15]It took so long!In the end.I just gave up and did it over the phone.
[01:29.91]Yes,I know what you mean.That site’s not very user-friendly.
[01:36.47]Have you tried any of the cheap airline sites,though?
[01:41.51]No.never.Well.If I were you.I’d try some of them.
[01:48.07]I’ve booked lots of flights online and it’s always been really easy.
[01:54.55]I’ve never had any problems and it’s usually cheaper than going to a travel agent’s.
[02:01.31]You usually get a discount for online booking.
[02:06.17]So.which ones are the best?
[02:10.72]Well,it depends where you want to go.You could try British Airways 3 first.
[02:17.59]They’re sometimes just as cheap as the budget airlines.
[02:22.73]Their address is BA.com.And the other one I’ve used quite a lot is easyjet.com.
[02:32.89]but they don’t fly to as many places as BA.
[02:37.86]Right.that sounds much better than standing 4 here in the pouring rain.Thanks.
[02:45.72]Well.if you want ay more help,why don’t you e-mail me.
[02:51.18]It’s spencersimon@shotmail.com.
[02:57.45]thanks,Hey.while we’re talking about it,actually,
[03:03.98]do you know any good sites for buying CDs?When Karen and I first met.
[03:11.82]there was a song called You’ve been gone too long playing in the bar
[03:18.45]and I thought it would be really nice to try to get it for her birthday.
[03:24.49]Very
romantic 5!Yeah.well,I do my best.The only problem is I’m not sure
[03:32.32]who it’s by and I’ve never seen it in any record shop.
[03:37.36]I’m not sure.You could try looking at dustygroove.com.
[03:44.63]My brother’s always talking about them.Otherwise,If I were you.
[03:50.58]I’d go to one of those music chat sites and see if anyone there can help you.
[03:57.11]Right OK.
[04:01.35]E-mails and website addresses
[04:09.76]Listen to these e-mail and website addresses and repeat.
