Diálogo realista
Traveler: I have a reservation under García.
Staff member: Okay. Thanks for explaining that.
Traveler: There seems to be a problem with the room.
Staff member: Okay. Thanks for letting me know.
Traveler: Sorry, I didn’t quite catch that. Could you say it again?
Staff member: Of course. I’ll say it more slowly.
Traveler: Would a late check-out be possible?
Staff member: Of course. Let me check that for you.
Traveler: Is there an extra fee?
Staff member: Yes. Let me explain the details.
Traveler: What are my options?
Staff member: Of course. Let me check that for you.
Traveler: Before we finish, I want to make sure I understood the important part.
Staff member: Of course. Repeat the key information in your own words, and I’ll tell you if anything needs correcting.
Traveler: Okay. If I miss a word, is it fine to ask the other person to repeat just that part?
Staff member: Absolutely. You can ask them to repeat it, say it more slowly, or write it down if that would help.
Traveler: That’s useful. I sometimes understand the general idea but worry that I missed one important detail.
Staff member: That happens often. Focus first on names, times, numbers, places, and the action you need to take next.
Traveler: So I don’t need to understand every single word to keep the conversation moving.
Staff member: Exactly. A short clarification question is usually better than guessing or staying silent.
Traveler: And if I need a moment to think, can I say something like “Let me check”?
Staff member: Yes. “Let me check,” “Give me a second,” and “Just to confirm” are all natural ways to buy a little time.
Traveler: Great. I feel much more confident about handling this kind of conversation now.
Staff member: Good. Keep the useful phrases short, practise them out loud, and adapt them to the details you actually need.
Traveler: No, that covers it. Thanks for your help.
Staff member: You’re welcome. Have a good day.
