00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:46.439
eight. Today we will talk about
making a reservation. First, let's review

7
00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:56.840
contractions. There are four contractions in
this conversation. Take a moment and find

8
00:00:57.359 --> 00:01:07.760
the contractions. The first contraction is
in line one. Don't don't comes from

9
00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:19.760
the two words do not, I
do not, I don't. Contraction number

10
00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:32.000
two is in line three. That's
that's comes from. That is that's perfect,

11
00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:44.120
that is perfect. Contraction number three
is in line four. It's it

12
00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:56.319
is. Contraction number four is in
line five. I'll I will will is

13
00:01:56.359 --> 00:02:05.680
a word to use to indicate the
future. I will take it. I

14
00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:15.319
will eat a hamburger tonight, I
will clean my room after class. Will

15
00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:25.319
indicate something you will do in the
future. I will take it. Let's

16
00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:38.199
look at line two single. We
have two single rooms available. Single indicates

17
00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:46.240
a room meant for one person.
This does not describe the bedsize. You

18
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:57.319
may be interested in asking how many
beds does the room have or what size

19
00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:07.039
are the beds. A twin bed
is for one person. Queen or king

20
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:15.159
beds are for two people and are
quite a bit larger. You can ask

21
00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:23.159
how many beds or what size are
the beds in my room. Another important

22
00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:32.840
question you may ask is smoking or
non smoking. Smoking means that smoking is

23
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:42.280
permitted inside the room. Non smoking
means it is not permitted. A last

24
00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:50.479
important question to ask when making a
reservation is do you offer a complimentary breakfast?

25
00:03:52.039 --> 00:04:00.520
Complimentary breakfast means a breakfast at no
extra cost. Sometimes hotels may offer

26
00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:09.439
free coffee or a free breakfast.
You can find the last important question in

27
00:04:09.479 --> 00:04:17.360
this conversation in line three, how
much is it per night? Another way

28
00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:27.360
to ask this question is to say
how much does it cost? Let's look

29
00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:38.000
at line four. It's sixty five
dollars per night. Per night means each

30
00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:46.839
night two nights would be one hundred
and thirty dollars. Sometimes the price given

31
00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:58.240
includes tax, Sometimes it does not
include tax. You can ask does this

32
00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:04.920
price include tax? That way you
will know if you need to pay extra

33
00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:14.160
or not. In the last line, speaker A says, Okay, I'll

34
00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:23.920
take it. I want it.
