飞机落地了,我终于到了上海。我有点累,想快点到酒店。我坐出租车,到了酒店大堂。前台的女士对我笑了笑。我说:‘你好!我有一个预订。’ 她问:‘您的名字是什么?’ 我告诉她我的名字是李明。她又问:‘你有护照吗?’ 我说:‘有,这是我的护照。’ 她拿走了我的护照,在电脑上查。我心里想,希望房间是安静的。女士看了一会儿电脑,然后抬头说:‘好的,李先生。’

她说:‘好的,李先生。这是您的房间钥匙。您的房间在七楼,708房。’ 我问:‘电梯在哪里?’ 她指了指右边说:‘电梯在那边。’ 我拿了钥匙,说了声‘谢谢’。我走到电梯,按了七楼。电梯很快就到了。我找到了708房间。打开门,房间很干净,还有一张大床。酒店员工常用‘您’来表示尊敬,这是一种礼貌。这次入住很顺利,我非常满意!
