Dialogue 2: Hotel Reservation

Question 1

Tamu: Selamat malam, Bu. Saya William Blake. Minggu yang lalu saya sudah menelepon ke sini untuk memesan kamar.

Answer 1

Guest: Good evening Sir. I am William Blake. Last week I called here to reserve a room.

Question 2

Penerima tamu: Ya, benar, Pak. Saya kira Bapak tidak jadi datang. Kamarnya sudah saya berikan kepada orang lain, karena sudah lewat jam setengah delapan.

Answer 2

Receptionist: Yes, that’s correct, Sir. I thought you did not make it. I gave the room to someone else because it was already past seven thirty.

Question 3

Tamu: Ya, saya terlambat, sebab ada perbaikan jalan sepanjang 50 km. Jadi mobilnya tidak bisa jalan cepat-cepat. Tapi, ada kamar lain?

Answer 3

Guest: Yes, I am late because there was a road construction as long as fifty kilometers. Therefore, I cannot drive my car quickly. But, do you have another room?

Question 4

Penerima tamu: Ya, ada kamar yang kosong, tapi tidak sebagus yang Bapak pesan dulu. Maaf saja.

Answer 4

Receptionist: Yes, there is an empty room, but not as good as the one you reserved before. I am so sorry.

Question 5

Tamu: Yah, bagaimana lagi? Saya sudah cape sekali. Pokoknya asal bisa tidur. Oh, iya, Bu. Kamar mandinya di dalam atau di luar?

Answer 5

Guest: Well, what can we do? I am already too tired. As long as I can sleep. Oh, is the bathroom inside or outside of the room?

Question 6

Penerima tamu: Kamar mandi dan W.C. ada di dalam.

Answer 6

Receptionist: The bathroom and toilet are inside the room.

Question 7

Tamu: Bu, nyamuknya banyak sekali di kamar saya. Bagaimana saya bisa tidur? Apa tidak ada kelambu di hotel ini?

Answer 7

(On the second day)

Question 8

Penerima tamu: Wah, sudah lama kami tidak pakai kelambu. Biasanya cukup disemprot saja dengan ‘Baygon’, atau pasang obat nyamuk.

Answer 8

Receptionist: Well, it has been a while since we used a mosquito’s net . Normally we just spray the room with “Baygon”, or put a mosquito repellant in the room.

Question 9

Tamu: Saya tidak tahan baunya. Kalau begitu, tolong pindahkan kipas anginnya ke dekat tempat tidur.

Answer 9

Guest: I cannot stand the smell of them. If that’s the case, please move the fan closer to the bed.

Question 10

Penerima tamu: Baik, Pak. Nanti saya suruh pelayan ke kamar Bapak.

Answer 10

Receptionist: Alright, Sir. I will ask a staff to your room.

Question 11

Tamu: Terima kasih.

Answer 11

Guest: Thank you.
