Day 1-3: London Layover – Hotel Check-In
NEW · Speaking Mode: Tap Start speaking and wait for “Listening”. Tap Stop speaking when you finish your answer. Then review the transcription and check your response. Help reveals words, a starter and finally a model; help is recorded. Short pauses are allowed.
Read, listen, or speak your way through a realistic hotel reception conversation near Heathrow. Choose the reply you would actually say when checking in with an airline-arranged hotel stay.
Some answers are calm, clear, and natural. Other answers are too vague, too demanding, or misunderstand hotel phrases like “confirmation code”, “covered by the airline”, “reception”, “breakfast included”, “wake-up call”, “Wi-Fi”, “lift”, and “shuttle service”.
You can recover by using repair language such as: “Sorry, let me clarify”, “Just to confirm…”, “Could you check whether the airline covers this?”, “What time does breakfast start?”, “Could I book a wake-up call?”, and “Which shuttle time would you recommend?” At the end, review your result and submit it to your teacher/tutor.
- Your layover became more than sixteen hours because of an airline schedule change.
- The airline arranged this hotel stay and gave you a confirmation code after you collected the voucher at Heathrow.
- Your goal is to complete hotel check-in smoothly and leave reception with all the practical information you need for tonight and the morning return to Heathrow.
Guided Speaking
Listen to the other speaker and use your own words to achieve the goal. Tap Start speaking, wait for “Listening”, then tap Stop speaking. Review your transcription and tap Check my response. The task check may ask for a missing detail.
This mode checks task-specific details in your text, not pronunciation or all grammar. Unfamiliar wording can need teacher review. If your phone joins spelled letters into a name, retry or mark the goal for teacher review.
