- Good morning!

- Good morning, madam! Can I help you?

- Oh, I hope so, erm, someone of the hotel suggested I came down here and arrange to hire some bikes from you.

- Oh, yes. A lot of people come down from the hotel

- Yes.

- It's very popular, yes.

- Yes, well. We have whole holiday here for few days and they said that could be a good way of getting to see the island.

- Well, it's certainly yes. I mean you go that much further on a push bike or a motorized bike

- Ah, so you have two kinds of bikes basicly

- We've got two kinds but most people take the motorized because you can get around faster. You can also go on the beach if you like

- How old, erm, do you have to be to drive one of those things?

- Er, there is a minimum age

- Yes, what's that?

- Sixteen

- Ah, yes

- But that's only for the driver

- Ah-huh, So... You can take passengers?

- Certainly

- If I want two and hire them tomorrow? Would it be any problem? Can I just come along and get them tomorrow morning?

- No problem at all. As you can see we've got hundreds here

- Yes, it's true, yeah

- And can I hire them just .. just for the morning?

- Er, that's unfortunately not possible. We only do hire for the whole day

- Oh, okay. So I probably see you first into my morning then

- Lovely!

- Thanks a lot!

- be nice to see you then
