Hi! All teachers.
I'd like to make a dialogue based on the conversation in a box office at a movie theater for my students so can you all help me this dialogue more authentic. I'm desperate....If you know the useful site reffering to the conversation between the clerk and the customer in a box office.
If you find some awkward exprssion, don't hesitate to tell me, please. I need your honest opinion and common useful expression in the sitatuin.
(I just put some expressions that I'm not sure for the context in the
parethesis belows,)
Clerk: Hi. How can I help you?
Me: Oh, hi. I'd like to buy two students tickets for the Harry Potter
and the half blood prince.
Clerk: O.K. What time do you want to see?
Me: 8:30
Clerk: Sorry, they(all tickets) are sold out. (We don't have seats
avaliable)
Me: What about the other time?
Clerk: Let me ckeck. Um...We have four seats available at 5:30 and 7:00.
Me: Then, can I have two tickets at 7:00?
Clerk: Sure. No problem. Are you a student or an adult?
Me: a Student. (student)
Clekr: Do you have a student I.D. with you? (Please give me your student
card.)
Me: O.K. Sure. Here it is. .
Clerk: That would be $15 doallrs.
I've got some questions about movie vocabulary.
First, how do you say the person selling a movie ticket in the box office? Is he or she a box office clerk? or a ticket clerk?
Second, Which one is commonly used when you buy a movie ticket?
I'd like two tickets for Harry Potter at 7: 30.
Can I have two tikcets for Harry Potter at 7: 30?
Third, what is the difference between "cinema" and "movie theater"?
As far as I'm concerened, cinema is british. If so, Americans do not use cinema instead of movie theater in daily conversation?
These expressions mean the same thing,
A) What’s on at the movies?
b) What’s on at the cinema?
Then, does the choice of both words lie in the personal preference?
Thanks a million in advance. (I'm so sorry to post many questions, next time I won't do that.)
