C. Smith - TP No. 11

Yesterday at 2:00 I went over to the library to teach Radka again. This time around I grabbed a pdf set of worksheets from http://www.esl-library.com featuring drills and vocabulary related to checking into and booking rooms at a hotel. I also made some other sheets featuring vocabulary words with pictures (these words covered things such as bell captains/bellboys/bell men/porters and concierges). This extra sheet also listed some sample tips to give to the staff of the hotel for doing particular things.

We also covered how to complain about particular things to the front desk and brainstormed for things to complain about (no hot running water, messes on the floors, unmade beds, etc.) After we had covered that, we did some speaking drills to reinforce concepts.

Finally, after all of that, we did a roleplay where Radka had to book a hotel room over the phone and get them to hold the room while she was arriving late. The roleplay required her to pay with her card and specify what kind of room she wanted to get (with a King sized bed).
