Meeting Guests
From the Host
I’m here to meet you on behalf of our manager.
How did you enjoy your trip?
I hope you’ve had a pleasant trip.
It’s my pleasure to meet you.
You must be very tired after such a long trip.
We’ve been looking forward to your arrival.
You must be Prof.Johnson from Harvard University.
Have you gone through the formalities?
Did you have to go to the customs and all that?
Give me the luggage check and I’ll get your luggage for you.
We might as well rest here for a while. We’ve got to wait for our luggage to come out.
Shall we go and get your things?
Will you point out your luggage to me?
Are you sure you’ve got everything with you?
We’re getting up a dinner party for you at seven tonight.
If you’ll excuse me, I’ll be leaving you for now. Mr. Dickson will take you to your hotel and see to everything.
We’ll call you up at about six for the reception.
A minute ago I was not sure if I could still recognize you.
We picked you out of the crowd as soon as you showed up.
We thought we’d have to go home without you.
I’m so pleased you could come.
We’ve been expecting you.
From the Guest
It’s been pleasant all the way.
I thought I’d have to take a taxi to your place.
I didn’t expect to spend so much time with the Customs.
I’ll be all right tomorrow either for business or sightseeing.
I’m already enjoying my stay here.
You did give me a surprise.
It took me a few seconds to recognize you. |
