- 3Dialogues and a review quiz reinforce language for asking directions, requesting wake-up calls, and questioning unfamiliar charges.
Don't miss
The paired dialogues bring the lesson together by rehearsing check-in, reporting a room problem, and questioning the bill at checkout.
The brief
David and Emma frame hotel English as a sequence of practical encounters: reserving a room, checking in, using services, reporting problems, and checking out.
The lesson moves from core reservation terms to front-desk exchanges, including dates, guests, room types, identification, keycards, elevators, and finding the room.
Hotel basics become useful questions: learners practice asking about Wi-Fi, breakfast, included services, housekeeping, extra towels, pillows, parking, laundry, gyms, pools, and restaurants.
The central challenge is handling problems politely and clearly, from broken air conditioning and missing hot water to noise, cleanliness, room changes, and unfamiliar charges.
Dialogues, a vocabulary review, and a quiz turn the phrases into repeatable practice, ending with homework to write sentences using the lesson’s hotel English.
