我今天第一次来到上海。我的背包很重。我找到了这家青年旅舍。门开着,我走进去了。大厅里很安静。我看到一个前台。一个年轻的女孩坐在那里。我对她说:你好!我叫丽丽。我预订了一个房间。她看着电脑,微笑着问我:请问,你的名字?我说:丽丽。她说:啊,找到了。你的房间号是三零二。这是你的钥匙。我拿了钥匙,心里很高兴。我的房间在哪里呢?我有点迷路了。她指了指方向。她说:电梯在那里。然后左转。我谢谢她。我需要休息了。我很累。

Before we continue our story, let's take a moment to look at some useful words and phrases from that last scene.

  • 青年旅舍 — hostel, 我住在一个青年旅舍。
  • 前台 — reception/front desk, 我去前台办理入住。
  • 预订 — to book/reserve, 我预订了一个房间。
  • 房间 — room, 我的房间在三楼。

我找到了电梯。上了三楼。三零二房间的门是关着的。我用钥匙打开门。房间里已经有两个人了。她们微笑着对我说:你好!我看到她们的床上放着书和零食。这是一个四人间。我的床位靠窗。我把行李放好。我想去洗澡。我问:请问,浴室在哪里?一个女孩指了指外面。她说:走廊尽头。我去了浴室,感觉很舒服。晚上,我们三个人一起聊天。我们来自不同的国家。在中国旅行,在青年旅舍很容易遇到新朋友,一起交流。我很高兴。今天很棒!
