Currency Exchange

W: May I help you, sir?

M: I’d like to change some US dollars into Japanese yen, please.

W: Yes, certainly sir. How much would you like to change?

M: I’d like to change 500 dollars.

W: May I see your passport please?

M: I don’t have it with me, but I do have my driver’s license. Would that be OK?

W: No, I'm sorry, sir. I need to see your passport, it’s the law.

M: Look, I’m not asking for a loan. I just want to convert my dollars into yen. Why do I need my passport?

W: I understand your frustration sir, but that’s the law. I can not do something that is illegal.

Exercise:

1. If something is illegal, it is against the law.

2. If someone is frustrated they are a bit irritated.

M: OK, do you have any suggestions?

W: Sure, the easiest thing for you to do it is to use a machine in one of the hotels near here. You can borrow someone’s passport and then do the conversion.

M: So the machine doesn’t check my fingerprints or anything like that?

W: No, sir. But there is a limit as to how much you can change at one time. You also have to pay a higher fee.

M: Thanks for your help.

W: You’re welcome, sir.
