The Room Is Not Ready
STEP 1
Predict from the image
A guest is standing at the front desk with luggage, but the receptionist is not giving the guest a key card. Why might the guest need to wait?
STEP 2
Read: The Room Is Not Ready
Mr Ito left the hotel for lunch. At 2:30 p.m., he received a message saying that the room was ready. When he returned, the receptionist completed check-in and gave him a key card. The room rate had not changed, and his original reservation remained valid. He collected his luggage before going upstairs.

COACH'S NOTE
Use the sequence and the exact evidence
Read the hotel problem as a sequence: early arrival, unavailable room, temporary luggage storage, notification, check-in and final confirmation. For Parts 6 and 7, return to the exact sentence or document before deciding. Do not choose an answer only because it contains a familiar hotel word.
