A
Я не достал билет на прямой поезд в Казань, и мне придется делать пересадку в Москве.
Ой, не делайте этого! Насколько я знаю, в Москве почти невозможно закомпостировать билеты.
У меня нет выхода. В прошлом году я заказал билет по телефону, и мне его доставили на дом.
Почему же вы не сделали так же в этот раз?
Потому что я думал, что не поеду в Казань. Я думал, что брат приедет ко мне. А сейчас уже слишком поздно заказывать билеты.
B
A. Мне нужен один билет на скорый поезд до Санкт-Петербурга.
B. К сожалению, у меня нет билетов на поезд в Санкт-Петербург.
Что же мне делать? Я должен быть в Санкт-Петербурге через три дня.
Я могу предложить вам билет на скорый поезд до Москвы. У меня есть верхняя полка в отдельном купе. А в Москве вы сделаете пересадку.
Ой, я так не хочу делать пересадку в Москве! В Москве всегда столько народу. Мне будет очень трудно закомпостировать билет.
Что вы! Каждый день из Москвы в Санкт-Петербург идет десять поездов. Вы легко закомпостируете билет.
B. Ну ладно, ничего не поделаешь.
C
Вы чудесно выглядите! Как вы провели отпуск?
Я отлично отдохнул в Сочи.
A. А как вы туда добирались? Говорят, почти невозможно достать билет на поезд в летний сезон.
B. Вы знаете, я не хотел идти в кассу и стоять там в очереди. Это пустая трата времени. Я заказал билет по телефону заранее, и мне его принесли.
Это чудесно. Вы ехали прямым поездом?
Да. У меня была нижняя полка в отдельном купе спального вагона.
D
A. Как вам понравилась поездка на юг?
B. О, отлично! Я летел туда самолетом.
A. Я предпочитаю ездить на поезде. Из окна вагона вы видите местность, по которой проезжаете, и это очень интересно.
B. Да, конечно, но поездом ехать долго. Кроме того, в поезде у вас всегда проблема, что поесть.
A. Разве в поездах дальнего следования нет ресторанов?
B. Есть, но я не люблю еду, которую предлагают в вагонах-ресторанах.
A. А в самолете вы ели?
B. Конечно. Стюардессса предложила пассажирам закуски и прохладительные напитки.
E
Два билета до Москвы в один конец на пятнадцатое апреля.
На какой поезд?
А. На любой, который отправляется после десяти вечера.
В. К сожалению у меня есть только один билет на поезд, который отправляется пятнадцатого апреля после десяти вечера. Хотите на поезд двадцать пятнадцать, верхние полки?
А. Нет, это слишком рано. Кроме того, я еду со своей тетей, а она не любит верхние полки.
В. Могу предложить вам две нижние полки в отдельном купе на шестнадцатое апреля. Поезд двадцать три сорок пять.
А. Хорошо, давайте.
В. Пожалуйста.
А. Спасибо.
F
А. Могу я заказать билет на самолет до Новосибирска?
В. Когда вы хотите лететь?
А. Мне надо быть в Новосибирске десятого мая вечером.
В. Самолет в Новосибирск отправляется утром, так что вы можете лететь десятого. Вам в один конец или обратный?
А. Обратный, пожалуйста. Я должна возвращаться двенадцатого мая.
В. Вы придете за билетами, или вам их доставить?
А. Я бы хотела, чтобы мне их доставили на дом.
В. Очень хорошо. Будьте дома восьмого мая с девяти до двенадцати утра.
А. Спасибо.
G
А. Простите, который час?
В. Без десяти четыре.
А. Ну вот! Я опоздала на поезд. Что же мне делать?
В. А куда вы едете?
А. В Сестрорецк.
В. Не беспокойтесь. Поезда в Сестрорецк отправляются каждые двадцать-двадцать пять минут.
А. Большое спасибо. Вы не знаете, с какой платформы они отправляются?
В. Со второй платформы. Бегите, вы еще успеете на четырехчасовой поезд.
H
А. Вы ехали из Омска прямым поездом?
В. Нет, я не достала билет на прямой поезд, и мне пришлось делать пересадку в Екатеринбурге.
А. Ну, это не так уж плохо. Вы могли осмотреть город. Я бы сел на такси и поездил по городу.
В. Ой, что вы! Я провела все время между поездами на вокзале, пытаясь закомпостировать билет.
А. Да что вы говорите! Насколько я знаю, из Екатеринбурга ежедневно идет несколько поездов в Москву.
Да, это верно, но я не хотела делать еще одну пересадку. А в Санкт-Петербург идет только один поезд.
