A: 请稍等，我查一下预订记录……喔，让您久等了，先生。不过，恐怕这里查不到您的预定记录。您是在哪里预订的？有确认函吗？ B: That’s strange. I made the reservation about 10 days ago, through a travel agency at home. But I don’t have the confirmation letter with me. What I have with me is a copy of the itinerary. Is there any problem with the accommodation for just two days? A: 别着急，我查一下有没有空房间。太好了，我们还有一个双人间，另外还有一套豪华套房，都没有人入住。不知道您要哪一套？ B: Thanks a lot. I prefer the double room. How long can I keep it? And is it a regular rate with no extra charge? A: 很好，先生，请登记吧。我们不多收费，入住最后一套豪华套房您还可以享受八折优惠呢。 B: The double room is fine. Is there any service that I need to know? A: 当然喽。请问您有什么要求吗？ B: Yes, I’d like to have a 7 o’clock morning call, breakfast sent to my room, shirts and pants laundered, some documents photocopied, an express mail sent out, and something like that. A: 没问题啊，请分别拨电话给总台、餐饮部、洗熨部、商务中心就可以了。您也可以直接与楼层服务台联系。您还需要什么服务吗？ B: Just one more thing—do you have any place for fitness exercises? I go to the gym and exercise every day. A: 有啊，我们这里有设施齐全的健身中心，还有教练给辅导呢。我们有许多现代化的健身设备可满足客人的不同需求。能让客人住得称心，我们很高兴。我真的希望你在这里住得愉快，如果还有什么其他要求，请随时告诉我。 B: Very good, thank you very much. A: 不用客气。

Standards, however, are high and reasonably uniform. Within each state and territory system there are two main types of school—government and non-government. In government schools, attended by about two thirds of children, tuition is free. About three quarters of the non-government schools are Catholic. Most non-government schools charge fees. Although the states and territories are responsible for all education, the federal Government provides most funding for higher education. In 1989, it set up a system under which undergraduate and postgraduate students must make a financial contribution toward the cost of their study. Throughout Australia, schooling is compulsory between the age of 6 and 15 years. However, most children begin school earlier than the law requires, usually in pre-schools run by the same organizations that administer the mainstream schools. Primary schooling lasts 6 to 7 years and the curriculum is similar across the nation. Studies begin with basic language and mathematics, and the fundamentals of inquiry, and social, health and creative skills are taught. Before reaching secondary level, children are learning English, mathematics, elementary science, social studies, music, art, craft and physical education. Optional subjects such as religion, languages and music are common. Secondary schooling begins at year 7 or 8 and goes typically to year 12. More advanced levels of the same subjects are taught, plus technical and commercial ones. The typical secondary school is the co-educational comprehensive or multi-purpose high school, offering a wide range of subjects. Some states have separate high schools and colleges specializing in technical, agricultural, commercial and other fields. Their curriculums include general academic subjects and practical training. Major examinations or other formal assessments occur after 3 or 4 years of high school and, at this point, most students are old enough to leave the system. Another 2 years’ study is available, however, and many keep going to the end—year 12. In most parts of Australia, certificates are issued at each of these levels, called commonly the School Certificate (at or about year 10) and the higher School Certificate (year 12). The Higher School Certificate is usually required for university or higher education college entry. Post-secondary education in Australia occurs in universities and colleges of technical and further education called TAFEs. Most of Australia’s approximately one million TAFE students attend state-administered colleges. The vast majority study part-time. All major skills in a wide range of industrial, commercial, artistic and domestic occupations are covered. Most universities also offer non-degree continuing-education programs. There is a nationwide school program designed to increase students’ sensitivity to the population’s multicultural background and to help ethnic communities maintain their languages and culture. Students from non-English speaking backgrounds are helped to developed their English to enhance their equality of opportunity in education and participation in society. Educational material developed under federal initiatives is available to schools to meet such language needs. I’d like to stop here and wish to take your questions.
