Lesson Goal

Check in at a hotel, give your name, ask about breakfast, and understand simple room information.

Warm-Up Questions

  • Have you stayed in a hotel before?
  • What information do hotel workers ask for?
  • What is one question you want to ask at check-in?

Introduction

Hotel check-in uses predictable English. The worker asks for your name, passport or ID, and sometimes a card. You can answer with short sentences. In this lesson, Sora checks in after a long trip. He is tired, so he wants the conversation to be simple. He gives his name, checks his room, and asks about breakfast. A useful hotel habit is repeating numbers: room number, floor, breakfast time, and checkout time.
