Today’s Business English Podcast lesson is on making a hotel reservation.
It’s something all of us need to do: Whether it’s for a company business trip, or for personal travel – we all need to, at some time or another, call a hotel to reserve a room. 當然, making reservations is not only useful for hotels but also for all sorts of situations – conferences, 餐廳, airplane travel, and any other type of event that requires us to book in advance.
