Choose Your Hotel For Your Vacation

(1) Amy: Listen
Have you [vocab word=book]booked[/vocab] a hotel room, yet?
(2) Vincent: Listen
I'm [vocab word=browse]browsing[/vocab] ChooseYourHotel.com right now. I'm thinking of the hotel near the beach.

Vincent wants a hotel near the beach.

(3) Amy: Listen
[vocab word=why]Why[/vocab] do you want to book a hotel near the beach. It's more expensive, isn't it?
(4) Vincent: Listen
I want a hotel near the beach because I like the [vocab word=sea]sea[/vocab] [vocab word=breeze]breeze[/vocab]. I want to be able to open the [vocab word=balcony]balcony[/vocab] door and feel the sea breeze.

"because ..." part tells you the reason why "I want a hotel near the beach". "I want to be able to open the balcony door" is a combination of verb + to-infinitive ("want to be") and semi-modal verb ("be able to").

(5) Amy: Listen
That's a great idea.
(6) Vincent: Listen
We also need a hotel with a [vocab word=fitness]fitness[/vocab] room.

A fitness room is a gym. You can exercise in a fitness room.

(7) Amy: Listen
Why do we need a fitness room? We can just swim in the ocean.
(8) Vincent: Listen
Because sometimes, the ocean is closed to swimming [vocab word=due to]due to[/vocab] bad weather. I still need to be able to exercise.

If the ocean is closed to swimming, you cannot swim in the ocean.

(9) Amy: Listen
Okay. Get a hotel room with a free wifi [vocab word=since]since[/vocab] I have to check my emails.

"since ..." means "because ..."

(10) Vincent: Listen
Alright. Cedar Point Inn is near the beach. It has free wifi. And, it's the only hotel with a fitness room.
(11) Amy: Listen
Does the hotel have [vocab word=complimentary]complimentary[/vocab] breakfast?

"Complimentary breakfast" is a free breakfast.

(12) Vincent: Listen
Why does that [vocab word=matter]matter[/vocab]?

Why is it important?

(13) Amy: Listen
Because I don't want to go out of the hotel to [vocab word=grab]grab[/vocab] a breakfast.

To "grab a breakfast" means to "get or buy a breakfast".

(14) Vincent: Listen
Fair enough. Cedar Point Inn does offer free breakfast.

"Fair enough" means "I understand. That makes sense."

(15) Amy: Listen
So, let's book Cedar Point Inn.
(16) Vincent: Listen
Okay. Let's see ... We should get a room with two queen beds.
(17) Amy: Listen
Why do you want a room with two queen beds? One queen bed will be [vocab word=enough]enough[/vocab].
(18) Vincent: Listen
There are no rooms with one queen bed. It's either two queen beds or two king beds.

A king bed is about 16 inches wider than a queen bed.

(19) Amy: Listen
Is it a non-smoking room?

In a non-smoking room, you cannot smoke.

(20) Vincent: Listen
Yes, it is.
(21) Amy: Listen
Great. Let's book it.
