At the hotel

1. Read and translate the text in writing way

When travelling people almost always stay at hotels. It is advisable, therefore, to

remember the following:

1) The first thing to do is to book a room in advance either by letter, telephone or fax. Otherwise you may arrive at the hotel and be told that there are no rooms.

2) On arrival at the hotel go to the reception desk in the lobby and confirm your reservation. The clerk will then give you a registration form to fill in and sign (the form is filled in block letters (великими друкованими літерами). In smaller hotels you simply sign the visitor’s book and give your permanent address.

3) In large hotels you may ask for any service by telephone. You tell the operator if you wish to be called at a certain time. You call room service when you want a meal or drinks sent up to your room, and you can have a lot of maid service if you need something (a suit or dress) cleaned or pressed.

4) Let the hotel management know well in advance the day and time of your departure.
