To check in, to check out, to look around and to come back VICKI: So, after your friend got off the plane Matt, what did he do? MATT: Well, he had reserved a few nights in a hotel, so he went to check in. VICKI: We use that phrase - to check in, when you arrive at a hotel and give your name and get the keys to your room MATT: Ah, but Peter didn't like the hotel very much so he checked out again straight away! VICKI: So he changed his mind, gave his keys back and left! MATT: Yes, well he says in his email that the hotel was dirty and noisy, so he just decided to check out! VICKI: So how is Peter spending his days in Australia? MATT: Well, he's spent the last few days looking around Melbourne and seeing some of the sights before he goes on to his next stop, Perth. VICKI: I bet Melbourne is an interesting place to visit, with lots of things to see. I'm so jealous, I'd love to go to Australia. I bet he'll never want to come back! MATT: That's true, he said in his email that he's having a brilliant time, he loves the weather, and he doesn't ever want to return to rainy old London! I'm not surprised he doesn't want to come back. Examples: to look around: When I moved to live in Edinburgh, I spent the first few days just looking around the city - it's so beautiful. to come back: Even though my uncle lives in Los Angeles now, he still comes back to visit us in London every few months Exercises: to check in: It takes a long time for a big group of people to check in. to check out: When you leave your hotel you need to check out. to come back: She's coming back next week.
