Asking About Opening Hours, Ticket Prices, and Tour Guides

Subtitle
One sunny morning in Hanoi, Anna, a tourist from Australia, arrived at the entrance of the Temple of Literature. She wanted to know more before entering. Anna walked up to the ticket counter and greeted the staff politely. She asked, 'Excuse me, could you tell me what time the temple opens and closes?' The staff smiled and replied, 'We open at 8 a.m. and close at 5 p.m. every day.' Anna nodded, then continued, 'How much is the entrance ticket?' The staff answered, 'It’s 30,000 VND for adults and 15,000 VND for students.' Curious, Anna asked, 'Do you have any guided tours available?' The staff explained, 'Yes, we have English-speaking guides. The tour lasts about one hour, and it costs 200,000 VND for a group.' Anna thanked the staff, bought her ticket, and decided to join a guided tour. She felt excited to learn about the history and culture with the help of a local guide.
