Examen 2012
- Hello, Mrs Bush. My name is Carmen Suarez and I need a room in the residence in June and July. Do you have free room?.
-Yes, I do.
- How much is it?
- Forty five pounds with breakfast.
- Is there bathroom in the room?
- Yes, it is.
- Is the room double?
- Yes, it is, but people are likeable.
- Is it near the near?
- No it isn’t but there is a bus next to the residence that it goes until the centre.
- All right, do you reserve it?
-OK.
-Thanks.
Well done, Carmen, but some mistakes: ... a (missing) free room; ... a (missing bathroom); Yes, there (not: it) is. Is it a double room? (not: Is the room double?) People are likeable ??? I don't understand. Is it near the centre (not: near - check before handing in to avoid this kind of mistakes); that (omit: it - you already have one subject) goes to (not until - about time).
ReplyDeleteAll the best,

¿likeable significa amable?
ReplyDeleteLa frase seria people are likeable and there is a problem with them
Hello Josefina,
ReplyDeleteYes, likeable means "amable", simpática, but I can't understand the meaning here. I'll translate: ¿Es una habitación doble? Si, pero (faltaría "the" se te refieres a gente determinada) gente es amable. ¿Me puedes explicar lo que quieres decir con esto?
Un saludo,
Ann Thorsson
There are double rooms only but your roommate will be likeable,you don't worry
ReplyDelete¿lo entiendes?
Don't worry! (Las frases imperativas no llevan sujeto.) Creo que no es muy lógico que vayas a un hotel y te metan en una habitación con otra persona. Pides una habitación doble cuando vas con alguien. Se podría dar el caso en una "youth hostel" tal vez y la frase sería: You will have to share the room, but your room mate will be very friendly. = Tendrás que compartir habitación, pero tu compañero de hatibación será muy simpático.
