HOTEL RECEPTIONIST: Hi, there. How can I help you?
CLAIRE: Well, I’m in town visiting for a few days, and I 
need to get some things done while I’m here.
HOTEL RECEPTIONIST: Sure. What do you need?
CLAIRE: I need to get my hair cut. I also need to have my
new pants hemmed.
HOTEL RECEPTIONIST: OK. Here’s a map of the city. There’s a good hair 
salon here, which is just a block away. And there’s 
a tailor right here. Is there anything else?
CLAIRE: Yes. I’ll need to have my car serviced before my
long drive home!
HOTEL RECEPTIONIST: No problem. There’s a good mechanic a few 
blocks away.


LANGUAGE NOTES
• Hi, there. Notice the intonation in this greeting. It rises after “Hi” and falls after “there.”
• Sure is a friendly expression to mean “OK.”
• Get my hair cut / have my new pants hemmed / have my car serviced. Notice get/
have + object + participle. This structure is used to describe actions that someone else 
does for us. “Get” and “have” are interchangeable here.
• Is there anything else? here means “Do you need more information?”
• Before my long drive home! Notice the emphasis and intonation on “home.” The 
speaker wants to show humor here. If she doesn’t get her car checked, she might not get 
home! She wants to be friendly and light with the receptionist.
• No problem here means “Don’t worry.” Notice the stress on “No.” The receptionist 
laughs first, then puts emphasis on “No” by lengthening the word. This shows that she 
understands the car could break down if it doesn’t get serviced

今週(こんしゅう)は、私の日記(にっき)シリーズです。
過去(かこ)の話はどんな風にするのか、
聞いて下さい。

今日は、海沿いをさんぽしました。

海沿(うみぞ)い、とは海のよこの道(みち)のことですね。

海沿いをさんぽして、アイスを売(う)っているのを見つけました。

ちょっと寒(さむ)かったけど、
アイスを買って、食べました。

なかなか、おいしいアイスだったので、また買おうと思います。

それから、飛行機(ひこうき)をすごく、近くで見ました。

空港(くうこう)があるので、飛行機は低(ひく)く飛びます。

めっちゃ、迫力(はくりょく)があって、よかったです。

いいところを見つけたと思います。

明日は雨なので、さんぽできるかわかりません。

もし、晴れたら、さんぽしたいです。
