　　Front Desk: No problem, sir.

　　Tom: What is the price of the suite?

　　Front Desk: It is US$ 280 per night.

　　Tom: Oh, I see. Then do you have anything less expensive?

　　Front Desk: No, sir. So far it is the least expensive suite for tomorrow night.

　　Front Desk: Yes, it does. Now could I have your name, please?

　　Tom: My name is Tom Zhang.

　　Front Desk: Would you kindly³ spell it for me?

　　Tom: That is T-O-M, Z-H-A-N-G.

　　Front Desk: Thank you, I got it. And how long do you expect to stay?
