Câu 6 : Read the following two e-mails
Hi. Sorry for sending this to all the staff in the company, but my list of people who are
going to the Signmakers' Conference in Dartmouth is not up-to-date, so I thought I'd
mail it to everyone just to be on the safe side. The company has agreed to pay for
transport by rail which means you won't have to drive there yourselves. We've booked
seats on the 06.30 from Stanton Heath which goes direct to Dartmouth. We should
arrive there by 08.45, and we can then share taxis to get to the venue, which I
understand is just a 15 minute drive, so we should easily make the 09.30 start.
Hotel accommodation has been booked at the Premium Inn, Dartmouth. The
management have agreed that all delegates should have their own rooms. It's likely
that some of you will have singles, while others will have doubles and twins. I can't
take request for double rooms, I'm afraid. It will be the luck of the draw. All rooms
will have en suites, and should be very comfortable.
We're planning return transport on the 20.10 from Dartmouth which will get us back
to Stanton Heath at 22.00.
I'll be booking transport on Friday morning (14th March), so if you have any queries
or problems, make sure you contact me before then.

planning to go to the conference by car, as I'm not returning to Stanton Heath after the
conference. I'm going on to visit my family. Is there any chance you can reserve a
double room for me at the Premium Inn? I find it hard to sleep in single beds.
