A：Good morning！Can I help you？

B：Good morning！ I'm Mr．Doug lass in room 1208． My business negotiation has progressed much more slowly than I had expected．This makes it necessary for me to stay on here for another day．I wonder if it is possible for me to extend my stay at this hotel for two days．

A： I'll take a look at the hotel's booking situation． Yes， sir，I'm glad that we'll be able to accept your extension re－quest．But I'm afraid that it will be necessary for us to ask you to change rooms for the last two nights．You see，we have already let your room to another gentle-man．Is that acceptable to you？
