Sally: Yes, instead of a courtyard room, I’d like a room with a
                        view, preferably on an upper floor.

                        Reservation agent: I can certainly change that for you, although
                        there will be a change in the room rate. The new rate is $189 per
                        night.



                        Sally:  On  second  thought,  I’d  prefer  a  suite  that  overlooks  the
                        pool. Is that possible?


                        Reservation agent: Certainly. The new rate is $249 per night.

                        Sally: Oh, that’s really expensive. I think I’d better to stick to my
                        original room.

                        Reservation agent: All right. I’ve changed your reservation back
                        to a courtyard room. Anything else?

                        Sally: Maybe I should shorten my stay. If I do that, I could afford
                        a suite. Yes, let’s change the dates and the rooms again.

                        Reservation agent: Let me make a suggestion. Let’s cancel this
                        reservation and make a whole new one. That way, we can make
                        sure everything is correct.


                        Sally: Oh, that’s not too much trouble for you, is it? I’d hate to be
                        a bother.

                        Reservation agent: No, no trouble at all.
