Meetings
Text
Andrew sees David Hill in the crowd of people meeting different passengers.
David:
Andrew, welcome to London. I'm very glad to see you.
Good morning, all of you (addressing the group).
Andrew: Good morning, David. I'm happy to see you too. It is
such a good thing to be in London again. David:
I hope you have had a nice trip and you all feel
well.
Andrew: Yes, the flight was OK. Should I now introduce the participants? They know your name but I'm
afraid you
don't know who is who.
David:
Let's make all the introductions later at lunch time.
Andrew: It's quite reasonable.
David:
Now let's go to the coach. It's waiting for us outside.
Ask your people to keep the lugguage on the trolleys.
Andrew: Yes, certainly. It's a rather long way.
David:
Follow me please... Take care... Here we are...
The group comes up to the coach and the driver helps them to put the luggage into the luggage
compartment. And a few minutes later when everybody is aboard the coach starts its way to London. The
motorway is very busy and the traffic is rather heavy. Some parts of the road are under construction.
David: Oil, well, you see, we shall have to move slowly for some time. Because of this construction
work. This motorway, between London and Heathrow, is often under construction.
Andrew: By the way, is there only one international airport near London?
David:
Oh, no, there are three, actually. Heathrow, Gatwick and Stanstead.
Andrew: And is Gatwick far away?
David:
If I'm not mistaken it's about fifty kilometres from the centre. It's much smaller than Heathrow.
And Stanstead is quite new. Sometimes Moscow flights come and leave there. But not very often.
