Take a Taxi
Driver: Good morning! Welcome to Beijing. Can I help you?
Julia: Could you take me to the Beijing Hotel? By the way, can I put my luggage in the trunk?
Driver: Sure! Let me help you.
Driver: I am afraid we are in a traffic jam.
Julia: How long will we be held up?
Driver: I am not sure. Let's take another route. It would take twenty minutes to get to your hotel.
Julia: That's great!
