AT THE HOTEL

· Good morning. How can I help you?

· Hello, we have booked a room.

· Could I have the name, please?

· Sure, it’s Mr and Mrs Robert O’Donnell.

· Thank you, I’ll just check on our computer. Yes, Mr O’Donnell, a double room for three nights. Would you mind showing me your passports, sir?

· Our passports? Why do you need them?

· It’s usual practice in South Africa, sir, to record the passport numbers of guests.

· OK. Then I guess so.

· Here is your key. You are in room 216. Take the lift to the second floor and turn right. Would you like the porter to help you with your luggage?

· Yes, please.

· I’ll call the porter for you. Breakfast is served from 8.00 am until 9.00 am. Check-out time is at 12 noon on the day of departure. Enjoy your stay and let us know if you need anything.

· Thank you, miss.
