Listening Task 3: Short Passage

1. Listen to the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each of the following questions.

Before I go on vacation, I always make hotel reservations in advance so I have a place to stay. I

usually look online for cheap hotels or other accommodations. Sometimes, I book a nice hotel with a

swimming pool, exercise room, or kitchenette. These rooms

often come furnished with a

microwave

oven and a small refrigerator. They are often furnished with high-speed Internet access so that I can surf

the Internet on my own computer. If I eat at a restaurant at the hotel, I just have the meal billed to the

room and pay for the room charge and meals at the same time. Other times, I just look for cheap hotels

or motels that provide the basic necessities. If I really want to save money, I reserve a bed at a youth

hostel. The price is cheaper, but I have to share a room with other travelers, which doesn

’ t bother m

all.
