Next to the booking-office there is a waiting-room where people are waiting for the train's arrival. On
the platform the porters are very busy carrying luggage to the train or pushing it on their trucks. They
are taking their trunks and suitcases to the luggage-van. Look at the labels on them - Paris, Berne,
Brussels. Quite a lot of people are going abroad. There is a through train to Paris; it's due out at 8.50.
At the railway station we can see a restaurant which is open. There aren't many people in it, just a few
having breakfast, but there are rather more people having a snack.
Here is a bookstall where you can buy newspapers and magazines.Then follows a left-luggage office.
What is that woman saying to the man at the left-luggage office?
Man: Yes, madam?
Woman: I want to leave some luggage here until this afternoon; is that all right?
Man: Oh, yes,madam, that'll be quite all right. Is this just one bag?
Woman: No, there are those two suitcases and this trunk. My husband will call for them with his car
this afternoon.
Man: Very well, madam. What name, please?
Woman: Mrs Macpherson.
Man: Right. Here's the ticket. That'll be twenty pence, please. Thank you.
Here is our train coming slowly into the platform. Let us hurry to our carriage.

Ann: Will you give me a hand with my suitcase, please?
Ben: Certainly. Why, it's very heavy. It's heavier than mine. Let's put it in the trunk.
Ann: All right. Thank you.
