(English for Business - Topic 2)
Receptionist : Good
Morning, this is the Four Season Hotel in Jakarta. How may I help you?
Caller : Good
morning, well actually it is already afternoon here in England! I would like to
book a room please.
Receptionist : Certainly
sir. How many people is the booking for?
Caller : One person.
It’s for me, so I need a single room.
Receptionist : What date
will you be arriving?
Caller : I will be
arriving on Saturday 25th October.
Receptionist : Ok, and
when will you be leaving?
Caller : I will be
leaving the following Saturday, so that’s the 1st November. How much would that
be?
Receptionist : With our
special weekly rate, that would be a total of $1,100.
Caller : Oh, well
that’s slightly more expensive than i was expecting. Does that include
breakfast?
Receptionist : Oh yes
absolutely. The price includes breakfast and all taxes. There are no hidden
charges.
Caller : Oh I see.
Well that’s actually quite reasonable then. Is there WIFI ih the hotel?
Receptionist : Yes, all of
our rooms have WIFI at no extra charge.
Caller : Excellent.
That would be very useful.
Receptionist : For the
choice of rooms, would you prefer a room with view of the city skyline or a
view of Central Park?
Caller : Oh, I’m not
sure. Is there a difference in price?
Receptionist : No, both
rooms are available at the same price. The only difference is the view.
Caller : Well in that
case, I’d prefer the view of the city please. I would like to go ahead and book
those dates please.
Receptionist : Certainly sir.
For bookings made over the phone, we ask that customers pay in advance for the
first night. The remaining balance can be settled at the end of the stay.
Caller : That’s fine, I
understand.
Receptionist : May I take your
full name please?
Caller : Yes, it’s John
Lennon. L – E – N – N – O – N
Caller : Emm, yes just
one last thing. On the 25th November, I will be arriving directly from the
airport at around 2pm. Will the room be ready by that time?
Receptionist : Well
usually check-in is after 4pm but I will request that your room is cleaned
first. So long as you don’t arrive before 2pm, then that will be fne.
Caller : Thanks very
much. I appreciate it. I’ll go and check my email straight away and pay the
deposit. Goodbye and thanks again.
Receptionist : You’re welcome
Mr Lennon. Thanks for your call and if there’s anything else you need, don’t
hesitate to ask.

Goodbye.
