F:I am so sorry to hear that sir, let me check and see what is available, what room are you in now?

M:I’m on the 6th floor, room 698,I’v had many problems with that room, just this morning, I called someone up to fix the light fixture in the bathroom, it didn’t work, and it still doesn’t work.

F:Oh,dear, well,it looks like we have a few rooms available, can I put you into a room on the 17th floor? It has a balcony and it doesn’t face the highway.

M: Ok, that would be very nice! What do I need to do to transfer?
