II. DIALOGUE
AAA Agent: Good morning. Can I help you?
You: I’ m trying to figure out the best way to get to Washington, D.C.
AAA Agent: Are you driving or flying?
You: I’m driving. My car’s parked outside.
AAA Agent: You have two options. The first is to take Interstate 85 north through
Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia.
You: What’s the other option?
AAA Agent: You could also take I-75 north through Georgia into Tennessee. In
Tennessee, you pick up I-81 which will take you through Virginia to
Washington.
You: Is there a difference in distance between the two?
AAA Agent: I-85 is somewhat shorter, but it’s not as scenic, and there’s usually a lot
more traffic.
You: How do I pick up I-85 in Atlanta?
AAA Agent: Just head north on the freeway until you reach the I-285 beltway. Then
follow the signs.
You: By the way, do you have any information about the Washington, D.C. area?
AAA Agent: Sure. Here’s a packet of brochures. Do you need a hotel reservation?
You: No thanks. I’ve already made one.
