Hello, sir.
394
How may I help you?
395
I'm a guest of room 615.
396
My room is right next to an elevator.
397
Yes, I remember.
398
Is there something wrong?
399
Last night, I kept hearing loud talking nearby.
400
Not only that, but the sound of the elevator moving is also annoying me.
401
And I don't understand what's wrong with your hotel.
402
The staff kept moving furniture all day.
403
The noise of all these things is very disturbing to me.
404
Makes it impossible to sleep.
405
I am sorry to hear that.
406
But yesterday the staff of the hotel did not move the furniture.
407
Maybe they were just moving the luggage for guests.
408
I don't need to know.
409
I want to change the room immediately.
410
I'm so sorry for the bad experience you went through.
411
But there are no rooms available now.
412
So how are you going to solve this problem?
413
I didn't pay my money to put up with all this noise.
414
I want to speak to the manager.
415
Please calm down, sir.
416
Please, sit in the lobby over there and wait for a few minutes.
417
I will contact the manager to come see you right away.
418
Okay, make it quick.
419
Excuse me.
420
Hello, madam.
421
How may I help you?
422
Yesterday, after I returned to my room, I went to the bathroom to turn on the hot water,
423
but no matter how I tried, it never started working.
424
So last night I had to take a cold shower.
425
Have you turned the faucet to red mode?
426
I turned it up, but it still doesn't work.
427
I see.
428
May I have your name and room number, please?
429
My name is Eliana Lauder.
430
I'm in room 402.
431
Please send someone up to check it quickly.
432
Yes, I will contact a technician to fix it as soon as possible.
433
And one more thing, my husband and I will be checking out one day earlier than scheduled.
434
I have received the information.
435
Please wait for a few minutes.
436
Ah, there's a person checking out!
437
So now there's an available room for me, right?
438
Yes, that's correct.
439
Please wait until I complete the checkout procedures for the guests in room 402.
440
I will help you to change your room.
441
Finally, please hurry up!
442
The procedure has been completed.
443
Our staff will check and clean the room.
444
After you return the key to the current room, you can move to room 402.
445
Sure, thank you.
446
Hello, Lavender Hotel speaking.
447
How may I help you?
448
Hi, I made a reservation at the hotel on Thursday, but now I have an emergency, so I want to change the check-in date to Saturday.
449
May I have your name, please?
450
Sure.
451
My name is Emma.
452
I have booked a double bedroom.
453
Is it Mrs. Emma Lopez?
454
You have booked a double bedroom for Thursday.
455
The check-in time is 11 a.m.
456
Let me confirm if the information is correct.
457
Right.
458
But now I want to change the check-in time.
459
I can't come on Thursday because of some personal reasons.
460
I want to switch from Thursday to Saturday.
461
Yes, I understand your situation.
462
But, according to the original registration schedule, you only booked for two days, Thursday and Friday.
463
For that reason, the room was already booked by another guest on Saturday.
464
If so, there's no need to book that specific room.
465
You can give me another room on Saturday, as long as there's a room on Saturday for me.
466
Yes, but it is high season right now, so our superior rooms are all fully booked.
467
There are no available rooms left.
468
So how to fix this?
469
We still have a few deluxe rooms.
470
As a solution, I suggest you upgrade your room.
471
Would you like to upgrade to a deluxe room?
472
How much is a deluxe room per night?
473
The price is $350 per night.
474
That's too expensive!
475
This room has many incentives.
476
You will have free breakfast and free laundry.
477
If you use spa services, you will have a 50% discount.
478
You can also use the swimming pool and sports club for free.
479
Alright then, I'll change to a deluxe room.
480
Okay, Mrs. Emma, your reservation has been made.
481
One deluxe double room.
482
You will have an early check-in at 11 a.m on the 18th of March.
483
Thank you.
484
I am glad that I could help.
485
Do you need any other information?
486
That's enough.
487
Thank you.
488
It's my pleasure.

How to Extend Your Hotel Stay in English — English Speaking Practice
KidsTravel EnglishTeens
Che cosa imparerai in questa lezione?
Questa lezione ti permette di esercitarti nella pratica di conversazione in inglese in un contesto reale: l'hotel. Attraverso il dialogo tra un receptionista e una famiglia, imparerai a gestire situazioni comuni come il check-in, chiedere informazioni su servizi e attrazioni, e fare richieste speciali. È perfetto per chi vuole sentirsi più sicuro nel comunicare in inglese durante viaggi o soggiorni all'estero!
Parole e frasi chiave da ricordare
- Reservation (prenotazione): "We have a reservation for three" (Abbiamo una prenotazione per tre persone).
- Beach view (vista mare): "Could we have a room with a view of the beach?" (Potremmo avere una stanza con vista mare?).
- Checkout time (ora di checkout): "Checkout time is 12 p.m." (L'ora di checkout è le 12 del pomeriggio).
- Nearby attractions (attrazioni vicine): "Can we get some information about nearby attractions?" (Possiamo avere informazioni sulle attrazioni vicine?).
- Extra pillows (cuscini extra): "Can we ask for extra pillows and blankets?" (Possiamo chiedere cuscini e copriletto extra?).
Consigli per la pratica: shadowing e pronuncia
Per migliorare la pronuncia inglese e la fluidità, usa la tecnica del shadowing: ascolta una frase dal video, pausa e ripeterla immediatamente, imitando il tono, l'intonazione e la velocità. Il dialogo ha una velocità naturale ma chiara, perfetta per iniziare. Ricorda: non ti preoccupare di sbagliare! Il shadow speech funziona perché ti aiuta a internalizzare le forme linguistiche senza stress. Se vuoi un shadowing site per esercitarti, cerca piattaforme che ti permettano di ripetere le frasi in tempo reale. Per questo video, concentra ti sulle frasi con domande e risposte brevi: "Is breakfast included?" o "Yes, the gym is on the second floor". Ripetile finché non senti che la pronuncia ti esce spontanea. Con la pratica regolare, noterai che la conversazione in inglese diventa più fluida e naturale. Continua così, sei sul giusto percorso!
La grammatica di questo video
Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:
| Struttura | Nel video |
|---|---|
| Present perfect have/has + participio passato — un’azione passata che conta ancora adesso | has fixed · has really ruined · I've packed |
| Forma passiva be + participio passato — conta ciò che accade, non chi lo fa | will be sent · be fixed · will be fixed |
| Verbo + -ing enjoy, keep, stop… + -ing — i verbi seguiti dalla forma in -ing | suggest visiting · kept hearing · kept moving |
| Consigli con “should” should + verbo — dire che cosa è meglio fare | should not leak · should be |
Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
