H5P: At the front desk: polite requests

Activity 32 · 1%
What you bring
From the forum: your own sentences and your classmates' feedback. Now the class explains every detail, and the Campus H5P checks that you understand a real text.
What this prepares you for
The assignment «Booking and Check-in: role-play video» needs this language to build your product.

How the H5P works: the site and the UNAH Virtual Campus

  1. Here, on the site: study the class below. It has no grades: read, listen and go further as much as you want.
  2. On the UNAH Virtual Campus: log in, enter your English II class and open Activity 32 · H5P: At the front desk: polite requests. It is graded (1%).
  3. If you make a mistake, the feedback says «Review slide N». Come back to that slide here.
  4. Try again. Your best attempt counts in the gradebook.
  5. Pass mark: 65 %. 65 % or more = competency reached. Your teacher reads your result as a percentage or as a competency level (see below).
  6. Culture: the last text of the H5P is about the Cultural Corner of your period (I PAC). Study slide 6.

Aquí estudias la clase (sin nota). En el UNAH Virtual Campus realizas el H5P calificado. Si fallas, la retroalimentación te dice qué pantalla repasar aquí; luego vuelves a intentarlo y cuenta tu mejor intento.

Slide 1Campus: All scenes

What you will learn

I can book accommodation and make polite requests.

On the UNAH Virtual Campus, Activity 32 · At the front desk: polite requests asks you to read and complete 1 short real-life text. These slides teach everything it checks.

En español

Puedo hacer una reservación y peticiones corteses.

Slide 2Campus: Scene 1

The rule · Polite requests

I'd like to book… · Could I have…? · Can I…? · Do you have…? Answer: Of course. / I'm sorry, we don't.

GuestReceptionist
I'd like to book a room for two nights.Of course. Single or double?
Could I have a late check-out?Yes, until 1 p.m.
Do you have a room with a desk?I'm sorry, we don't.
What time is breakfast?From 7 to 10.
Tips for Activity 32
  • Could I… is very polite.
En español

«Could» es más formal que «can». En simulaciones usa siempre datos ficticios (nombre, tarjeta, pasaporte).

Slide 3Campus: Scene 1

Key words

  • check in · Check in = registrarse al llegar.
  • under · Under + the name of the booking.
  • Certainly
  • of course

  • I'd like to check in, please. My booking is under «Ana Ruiz» (fictional).

Slide 4Campus: Your forum

A real model

For a work trip, I need a desk and good Wi-Fi. At reception I'd say: «Could I have a quiet room, please? Do you have a printer? Can I have breakfast at 6?»

In the forum (Activity 31) you write a text like this about yourself and your career.
