Unit 27: Whose is it?

1. Whose is it?

Francis	Hello.
Jane	Whose is this?
Francis	I don't know. Put it back, please.
1st Woman	May I have my coat, please?
Francis	Which one is it, madam?
1st Woman	That one. That one's mine.
Jane	This one?
1st Woman	No. That coat isn't mine. Mine is the one next to it.
Jane	Here is your coat, madam. And is this yours? This umbrella?
1st Woman	No, it isn't.
Jane	Oh, dear. Whose is it?
1st Woman	Don't worry. I think it's my husband's. John, is that your umbrella?
1st Man	Yes, it is.
1st Woman	It's all right. It's his.
1st Man	Thank you very much.
Jane	And this bag? Is this yours, or your wife's?
1st Man	No, it isn't mine, or hers.
Jane	Oh, dear. Whose is it?
Francis	I don't know. Ah, that woman over there. Perhaps it's hers.
Jane	Excuse me, madam. Is it your bag?
2nd Woman	No, it isn't. But that's our suitcase. The brown one. And that suitcase is ours too.
Francis	These? Are these yours?
2nd Man	Yes. Those suitcases are ours.
Francis	Here you are, sir.
2nd Man	Thank you.
Jane	There's another suitcase here. Perhaps this suitcase is theirs too.
Francis	No, it isn't theirs. They've gone.

2. Two rooms for two nights.

Clerk	Can I help you, sir?
Husband	Yes, please. Two hotel rooms. Two rooms for two nights.
Clerk	Yes, sir. Single or double?
Wife	We want one double room and one single room for our daughter.
Clerk	One double, one single for two nights. With shower or bath?
Wife	We want one with a bath.
Tracy	I'd prefer a shower.
Clerk	Certainly. A double room with bath and a single with shower. The Grand Hotel is full, I'm afraid. There aren't any rooms at the Grand. Ah, there are some rooms at the Queen's Hotel, sir, in South Street.
Husband	What's it like?
Clerk	It's a big hotel near the station.
Wife	That'll be expensive.
Clerk	Well, madam, just a moment. There's the Palace Hotel. That's not expensive.
Husband	What's it like?
Clerk	It's smaller than the Queen's. It's in the same street. It's near the shops, and ...
Husband	Is it quiet? I don't like noisy hotels.
Clerk	Oh, its very quiet, sir.
Wife	What are the rooms like?
Clerk	Here you are. They are like this. This is a double room with bath and television.
Husband	What do you think of it, dear?
Wife	That looks all right.

3. In the weather studio

Francis

Here's the weather forecast for the next 24 hours. In the north of Scotland there will be snow with strong winds. It will be very cold. In England and Wales the weather will be much better. There will be some fog in the morning. But the fog will clear, and in the south it'll be a fine day with some sunshine. It will be quite warm. In the west it'll be cold in the morning, but it will get warmer and perhaps there will be some sunshine later. In the east, the day will start fine, but then the weather will change. In the afternoon, there will be some rain. It will get cooler.
