Talk about what you do when you first arrive at a hotel.
호텔에 도착하면 가장먼저 히는것들에 대해 이야기해 주세요.
[Response]
I normally stay at hotels when I go on vacations or business trips. When I arrive at a hotel, I first go to the front desk to check in. I usually book in advance, so I only need to tell them my name. I get my room keys and head to my room. When I get to my room, I first take a look around. I also take a look at the view outside. After that, I unpack my bags and change into comfortable clothes.

나는 여행을 가거나 출장을 가면 주로 호텔에 머무른다. 호텔에 도착하면, 먼저 프런트 데스크에 가서 체크인을 한다. 대부분 예약을 하고 가기 때문에 내 이름만 말하면 된다. 객실 키를 받아서 방으로 이동한다. 방에 도착하면 객실을 먼저 한번 둘러본다. 밖을 내다보며 전망도 확인한다. 그러고 나서는 짐을 풀고 편안한 옷으로 갈아압는다.

[Response]
A few years ago, I went to a Southeast Asian country for my vacation. I booked a room at a hotel right on the beach. My room had an ocean view. The view was so beautiful, it was beyond words. The food at the hotel was cooked by a top chef, and it was fit for a king. Around the hotel pool, there was space to kick back and relax. I felt recharged at the hotel, both in body and spirit. It was such a memorable hotel. I definitely got my money’s worth.

몇 년 전에 휴가를 동남아시아 국가로 갔다. 바닷가 바로 앞에 있는 호텔을 예약했다. 바다가 내다보이는 객실에 묵었는데, 전망이 말로 표현하기 힘들 정도로 아름다웠다. 일류 요리사가 조리한 호텔 음식도 맛이 정말 훌륭했다. 호텔 수영장 주변에는 편히 쉴 수 있는 공간이 있었다. 정말 몸과 마음이 전부 힐링이 되는 호텔이었다. 숙박비가 전혀 아깝지 않은 굉장히 인상적인 호텔이었다.
