R： Excuse me, miss. I would like to change 500 US dollars into Australian dollars, please.

T： Are you changing cash or traveler's checks？

R： Traveler's checks.

T： Can I have a look at you passport？

R： Sure. Here you are. By the way, do you charge any commission？

T： Not at this bank. Please sign here on your checks. How do you want your money？

R： four one-hundred-dollar bills and the rest in smaller bills, please.

T： Here you are, sir.

R： Thanks. You've been very helpful.

T： Thank you. Have a nice day.

R： You too. Goodbye. （Ritchie says to himself）

Whew！ That wasn't so difficult after all.
