QUESTIONS:
1.  Why was "you" used in the first sentence?
2.  If you knew the person at the desk was a much older woman, would you still say "xiaojie"?  Could you also say "taitai" or "fuwuyuan"?

COMMENT:
I loved your explanation of jiaoxing.  I'm sure to remember it now.

THANKS for another great lesson.

Jenny,
When I first listened to this dialogue, I didn't understand much of it.  However, after listening to you read each line, I did much better when it was repeated at the end.  I think you do a great job.  You pronounce your words very clearly and you speak neither too fast nor too slow.  So,  THANK YOU. 

For me, studying Chinese is a lot less stressful when I can hear the words.  Even though I know many of the other listeners don't share my problem, I want you to know that I appreciate your effort to speak/read slower.

John,
You ask great questions!
