TOEIC Listening Part 3: A Restaurant Reservation and a Train Ticket Change

Questions thirty-eight through forty refer to the following conversation.

Hi, I'd like to book a table for a team dinner next Thursday.

Wonderful! How many people will there be?

Fourteen. Is your private room free that evening?

Let me see... Yes, it's free from seven o'clock.

Great! Oh, and three of us don't eat meat.

That's no problem at all. Our chef makes a lovely mushroom risotto.

I'm afraid we ask for a deposit for groups over ten, though.

Oh, really? How much is it?

Fifty dollars, and it comes off your final bill.

Well... my manager has the company card.

I'll call you back this afternoon to pay.

What is the woman planning?

What does the man say about the chef?

What does the woman mean when she says, 'My manager has the company card'?

Questions forty-one through forty-three refer to the following conversation.

Excuse me, I've got a ticket for the four fifteen to Manchester.

Is there any way I could catch an earlier train?

Certainly. There's one at two forty, but it's quite busy.

Oh, that's fine! My meeting finished early, you see.

I'm afraid there's a ten-pound fee to change your ticket.

Ten pounds? Ugh, that's a lot!

Well... I suppose it's still worth it.

Lovely, here's your new ticket.

It leaves from platform six, so you'll need to hurry.

Platform six. Brilliant, thanks so much!

Why does the man want to change his ticket?

What does the woman say the man has to pay?

Where will the man most likely go next?
