56
The deluxe is an extra $20.
57
I'll take the cheaper one, please.
58
Sure.
59
Just one thing, I'm a very light sleeper.
60
Can I get a room far from the elevator?
61
I find being near the elevator can be a problem, especially at night.
62
Certainly.
63
However, all our rooms are quiet, even the ones near the elevator.
64
We have excellent soundproofing here.
65
Great, thanks.
66
Two.
67
What kind of room would you like?
68
Are there any deluxe rooms available?
69
My wife and I want to give ourselves a treat.
70
Yes, there are.
71
So that'll be the double deluxe.
72
And you'd like a garden view room?
73
Absolutely.
74
We're here to relax.
75
Okay, you're all set.
76
You're in room 701.
77
I'll have the bags sent up to your room right away.
78
You'll find a complimentary fruit basket in the room.
79
That's nice.

Thanks.
81
Oh, and we'll need a wake-up call at 7 a.m.
82

No problem.
85
Enjoy your stay.
86
Three.
87
What kind of room would you like?
88
Oh, just something simple.
89
The cheapest you have will be fine.
90
So you don't want the deluxe, then?
91
No, thanks.
92
I can give you a standard single on the second floor.
93
The lower floors are cheaper.
94
Sounds perfect.
95
And this one has a city view as well.
96
Oh, that's what I want.
97
No problem then.
98
I need to iron some clothes.
99
Is there an iron in the room?
100
I'm afraid there isn't.
101
Oh, could you please send an iron up to my room?
102
Sure.
103
Four.
104
Will that be a room for the two of you?
105
Yes, that's right.
106
Do you want a city view?
107
No, we don't.
108
And we'd like a room on a high floor, please.
109
Let me see if we have one available.
110
Yes, we do.
111
Good.
112
Would you like a deluxe room?
113
It's a little more expensive, but it's much bigger.
114
Oh, it doesn't matter about the size.
115
The ordinary room will be fine.
116
Certainly.
117
And is it possible to get coffee and, say, some sandwiches at this hour?
118
We're a little hungry.
119
Sure.
120
I can send some up to your room if you like.
121

193
That'd be great.
194
Listening 3.
195
1. Is your room okay?
196
Well, it's certainly big enough.
197
That's a nice change.
198
A lot of hotel rooms these days are very small.
199
There's also plenty of space in the bathroom.
200
That's good.
201
I wish I had a better view, though.
202
There's nothing to see except the cars in the parking garage.
203
You could always change.
204
I guess so, but I can't be bothered.
205
Anyway, it's great to have a big flat-screen TV.
206
There's also a coffee maker, so I can make coffee whenever I want it.
207
I was a little disappointed that there was nothing, not even a bottle of water, in the refrigerator when I checked in.
208
But I calmed down and asked them to fill it up, and they did that right away.
209
Two.
210
Is your room big enough for the two of you?
211
Well, it's kind of small.
212
By the time we put our bags on the floor, there was hardly any room to move.
213
But you should see the bathroom.
214
It's almost as big as the bedroom.
215
It's great, but isn't that strange?
216
A bathroom bigger than the room.
217
It is.
218
What floor are you on?
219
We're on the second floor, so we don't really see anything interesting.
220
Just the street and the building next to us.
221
Is there anything much in the room?
222
Just the bed and a tiny refrigerator big enough for two bottles of water.
223
The bed is as hard as a rock.
224
I could hardly sleep last night.
225
The manager said they would bring me a softer mattress later.
226
Well, that's good.
227
Three.
228
Is your room at the hotel okay?
229
It's not bad.
230
It's a good-sized room, so that's nice.
231
The bathroom is absolutely tiny, though, and it doesn't have an electrical outlet, so I can't use my hairdryer in there.
232
That's inconvenient.
233
At least I can look out at the beautiful park across the street.
234
I like to be able to see trees from my window.
235
That sounds lovely.
236
Is there a lot in the room?
237
No, not really.
238
Just an old TV, but no refrigerator or anything else.
239
It was really hot last night, and I couldn't sleep, so I spoke to the manager about it.
240
She sent up an electric fan as soon as I called.
241
That should help.
242
Four. Is your room okay?
243
It's pretty good, thanks.
244
That's good.
245
How big is the room?
246
Well, it could be bigger.
247
It really is pretty small.
248
There's just enough room for one chair beside the bed.
249
It does sound small.
250
Yeah, but my only real complaint is with the shower.
251
The water's either much too hot or way too cold.
252
I'm going crazy.
253
Luckily, I spoke to the manager and he's sending a plumber up tomorrow.
254
That's nice of him.
255
How about the view?
256
Oh, I do love the view of the city at night.
257
It's wonderful.
258
That's fantastic.
259
What does the room have in it?
260
Well, there's a really nice TV and a DVD player.
261
Plus, there's a stereo and a mini fridge.
262
Everything I need.
263
Listening 3 1.
264
Is your room okay?
265
Well, it's certainly big enough.
266
That's a nice change.
267

Who Will Benefit from This Video?
If you’re an English learner focusing on english speaking practice or prepping for IELTS speaking practice, this video is a goldmine. It’s perfect for intermediate learners aiming to master real-world hotel check-in conversations—think quick, practical phrases that work in everyday situations. Whether you’re traveling soon or just want to sound more confident in formal interactions, the dialogues here offer bite-sized, actionable skills you can use immediately.
Key Phrases to Add to Your Vocabulary
The video is packed with must-know expressions for hotel interactions. Here are a few to steal:
- "Do you have a reservation?" – The first question you’ll hear at most hotels. Practice saying it smoothly to sound natural.
- "Would you mind filling out this form?" – A polite way to ask for action. Notice the soft tone of "would you mind"—it’s key for friendly communication.
- "In that case, I’ll have to ask for a deposit." – Useful for understanding conditional requests. Repeat it to get the rhythm right.
- "Is a driver’s license okay?" – A great example of asking for clarification. Perfect for when you’re unsure what ID to provide.
Mastering Pronunciation: Tips for Natural Sounding Speech
To nail the accent in these dialogues, focus on improving english pronunciation through shadowspeak (repeating after the speaker immediately). Here’s how:
- Stress on "reservation" – The stress falls on "rez-er-VAY-shun"—not "REZ-er-vay-shun". Listen closely and mimic the rise and fall.
- Soft "t" sounds – In words like "Peter" or "it", the "t" is often pronounced gently, almost like a "d". Practice this to avoid a harsh accent.
- Intonation in questions – Notice how questions like "Do you have your confirmation number?" rise at the end. Shadowspeak these to match the speaker’s tone.
Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
