CONVERSATION
M : How many tickets do we need to buy?

-need : expressing necessity or obligation.
-buy : pay someone to give up an ownership, interest, or share.
W : Let’s buy 10 tickets. They’re cheaper.
-cheap : charging low prices.
M : Right. One single ticket is 2.75 euros, and 10 tickets are 22 euros.
-single : only one; not one of several.
-euro : the single European currency, which replaced the national currencies of France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Greece, Portugal, Luxembourg, Austria, Finland, the Republic of Ireland, Belgium, and the Netherlands in 2002. Seventeen member states of the European Union now use the euro.
W : Yes, and we’ll need to take the metro often.
-take : use as a route or a means of transportation.
-metro : a subway system in a city, especially Paris.
-often : frequently; many times.
M : Okay. Press this button... and pay by credit card.
-Press : move in a specified direction by pushing.
-pay : give (a sum of money) in exchange for goods or work done or in discharge of a debt.
-credit : the ability of a customer to obtain goods or services before payment, based on the trust that payment will be made in the future.
W : Now we have 10 metro tickets.
-Now : at the present time or moment.
M : Yes, let’s go now.
-let’s go : Let's is a contraction of let us. "Let's go to the ballgame today!" Lets is the third-person singular simple present indicative form of let -- but of course we all knew that already.... It means allows, which looks like what you want to convey here.
