Now it is 5:30 already. Why don't you make a call later? It is cheaper after 6 pm 
Alison: 
Is it? 0h good. I thought it cost the same. I'll wait till I get home then. Where can you find out 
how much phone calls cost?

Alan: 
You can find out at the front of any telephone directory 
Alison: 
Ah, I must have a good look. Does it give any other information? 
Alan: 
Yes, you will get any information you need, such as the weather forecast, gardening 
information. etc 
Alison: 
Good. I'll have a look. How can I arrange an alarm call? My brother's arriving from Paris early 
tomorrow and I must get to the airport very early in the morning 
Alan: 
Well, you'd better book before 10:30 pm the previous evening 
Alison: 
That seems simple enough. Actually I think I'll phone my brother this afternoon. I've got the 
phone number of his hotel but what if he isn't in when I phone? It could be expensive and I 
can't afford to keep phoning all afternoon. 
Alan: 
Well, you could make a personal call. You can tell the operator your brother's name, then 
your message can be left for your brother and you would not pay any money until you talk to 
him. 
Alison: 
Perfect. I'll do that. Thank you, Alan.
