said Japan is the 'in' destination at the moment.
We say something is 'in' when it's fashionable
and popular.
We can say: green is 'in' or green is the 'in
colour'.
This means that it's a popular colour at the
moment.
And did you know what a capsule hotel is? l
didn't!
lt's a low-budget hotel with capsules instead
of rooms.
'Low-budget' means it doesn't cost very much,
so a low-budget hotel is cheap accommodation.
Remember accommodation is the place where you
sleep.
How much does it cost?
This is the question you ask when you want to
know the price of something.
lt costs about 25 euros a night.
Notice we say the price of a hotel room: about
40 euros a night.
We use 'about' before the price to indicate
that it isn't exact, it could cost a little
more or a little less.
And we say 40 euros 'a night', this means for
one night.
ln London the earlier you book a room, the cheaper
it is.
'To book' means to reserve.
So, you should book early, this means you should
reserve the room as soon as you can.
Because if you book at the last minute it's
more expensive!
'At the last minute' means very late, just before
you leave.
So, now let's look at some hotel vocabulary:
'A double room' is a room with a double bed,
a bed for two people.
'A single room' is a room with a single bed,
for one person.
Usually in a hotel room there is 'a wardrobe',
the place where you put your clothes.
An 'en-suite bathroom' is a private bathroom,
for your use only.
ln low-budget hotels you often have to share
the showers and toilet with other guests.
'Guests' are the people who stay in a hotel.
'To share' means that it is not only for you.
When it's cold you use the heating to make a
room warm.
ln summer when it's hot you use the air-conditioning
to make a room cool.
That's all for this time!
Take care and see you next week!
