3) Which questions could Ashley and Melody ask each other about Sting's concert? Which questions could the box office clerk ask Ashley and Melody?

Кратко: вопросы делятся по роли говорящего. Подруги спрашивают друг друга о планах, мнении и приглашают; кассир предлагает помощь и уточняет заказ.

Ashley and Melody ask each other:

• What concert are you going to next week?
• What is special about the band/singer?
• Are you sure the concert is going to be a success? Why?
• Will you join me to go to the concert tomorrow?

The box office clerk asks Ashley and Melody:

• May/Can I help you?
• How may/can I help you?
• Which date do you want the tickets for?
• How many tickets do you want?
• Which performance/concert are you interested in?
• Would you like the seats near the stage or would you prefer to sit further back?

Остальные вопросы — это то, что девочки спрашивают у кассира:

• Are there any tickets/seats available this week?
• Can I buy some tickets, please?
• Is Sting going to play/perform tonight?
• Is that all you can offer me?
• Is there more than one concert/performance?
• What can you offer?
• How much does the ticket cost?
• How much are the tickets?
• When does the concert begin?

Как понять принцип: если звучит \(I\) и просьба купить — говорит покупатель: Can I buy…? Если кассир уточняет заказ — появляются you want, are you interested, would you like. Вопросы Will you join me…? и Are you sure…? — личное общение подруг, а не обслуживание в кассе.
