听力原文:W: Nice to meet you. My name's Jane.
M: Nice to meet you, too. I'm Peter.
W: Have you been in London long?
M: I got here last week. I guess I've been in the hotel for a week now.
W: I arrived this morning. What's the hotel like?
M: Not perfect, but for this price, not bad.
W: Why? What's the matter with it?
M: Well, the heating doesn't always work; it was freezing here last night. And the breakfast is so early, this morning I overslept and missed it completely!
W: You overslept? Why was that?
M: You'll see, there's another boy in my room and he snores really badly! I didn't get a wink of sleep!
W: Oh no! Don't they have the morning-call service?
M: No, I asked the waiter to call me up but be said I had to pay one extra pound every day for that. I think that should be their duty, not additional service and charge.
W: Well, I agree with you. So what is the exact time for breakfast'?
M: 7 to 8 o'clock. And lunch is from 12:00 to 1:30, supper 6:30 to 8:00.
W: That's not only early, but all three meals are short. What do they provide for supper? Er, I am a vegetarian.
M: The simple fish and chips, pizzas. Nothing special. The vegetarian restaurant near Neal's Yard is fairly good. It's just down the street, by Covent Garden.
W: Oh, Covent Garden. I've heard about it. A nice place. Thank you.
M: You are welcome.
W: Anyway, I don't know what we can do about the breakfast, or your roommate, but don't you ask the hotel to fix the heating?
M: Hmmm, yes, what a good idea! Why didn't Ithink of that?
