Anna: Xiao Wang, what time does our high-speed train leave?
Xiao Wang: The ticket says nine twenty, and it's only eight thirty now.
Anna: Great, we still have time. I'm a little thirsty; I want to go buy something to drink.
Xiao Wang: OK, I'll watch the luggage here. Don't go too far.
Anna: Xiao Wang, bad news! I just heard that our train is delayed.
Xiao Wang: Really? How long is the delay?
Anna: About forty minutes.
Xiao Wang: Then we need to call the hotel and tell them we'll arrive a little late.
Anna: OK, I'll call.
Xiao Wang: Oh, right, did you bring your passport? Foreigners must use a passport to take the high-speed train.
Anna: Yes, it's in my bag. Oh, where's my passport? It was right here a minute ago!
Xiao Wang: Don't panic. Look again.
Anna: Found it. It was in my jacket.
Xiao Wang: Oh, you! It's like this every time we go out. Listen, they've started checking tickets. Let's go!
