Passenger: Excuse me. Could you tell me where to purchase High Speed Rail tickets？

Passenger Clerk: Sure. You could purchase HSR tickets at the booking office. The booking office sells tickets 28 days in advance.

Passenger: I wonder how to buy HSR tickets for foreign passengers.

Passenger Clerk: Since China implemented the real-name policy for train tickets, passengers buying a ticket need to bring valid ID, and passport works best.

Passenger: I see, what else？

Passenger Clerk: You have to tell ticket seller your date of travel, the time of your departure, then she will help you to choose the right ticket. Of course, you can select the seats, if you provide train number, class, carriage and seat number.

Passenger：Is that all？

Passenger Clerk: That's it. And you could go into the station and take train by ticket and ID.

Passenger：Thanks a lot.

Passenger Clerk: That's all right.

At the inquiry office, a passenger is asking some questions and a conductor is helping him. Practice the conversation with your partner.

Conductor: Good morning. Can I help you？

Passenger: Yes, where can I buy a timetable in English, please？

Conductor: Sorry, we only have timetables in Chinese. Train schedules for major cities are displayed on screen in both English and Chinese in the ticket office.

Passenger: Oh, thanks. Where is the ticket office？

Conductor: It's over there, on the west side of the hall.

Passenger: OK. And um, can I buy two tickets with my passport？

Conductor: No, I'm sorry. A passenger can only buy a ticket in his or her own name and only on the date of departure. You will need to show your passport in order to buy a ticket.

Passenger: Oh. I see. Thanks.

Conductor: You're welcome.

Please take the high-speed rail to go all over the China.
