Pre-Listening Exercise
Most people look for budget or cheap hotels when they go on vacation, but no matter whether you stay in a cheap hotel or a luxurious one, you can encounter problems when making hotel reservations. Write a list of all the possible problems that could occur with hotel reservations (e.g., the receptionist who took your reservation misunderstood the date you were scheduled to arrive). Talk with a partner and discuss these.
Idioms
“eleventh hour” = until the last minute
“Don’t wait until the eleventh hour to make a hotel reservation.”
“tighten your belt” = live on less money
“We need to tighten our belt and reserve a cheap hotel.”
