HOTEL BROCHURES : quelques rapides exemples de productions possibles

Objectif A2 : choisir un hôtel

-I want to go to Brooklyn / to stay at the Gregory Hotel because Brooklyn is nicer than - quieter than - Manhattan – There’s more noise in Manhattan – a lot of noise in Times Square. Times Square is very noisy / too busy -The Gregory hotel is more expensive than the St James but we can have tea or coffee in our room and breakfast is free. -I like the St James hotel better ( I prefer …) because it’s very near 5th avenue and I love shopping. - Look at the Hilton brochure : WOW ! It’s incredible, isn’t it? It’s very expensive, isn’t it? Maybe it’s the best but it’s the most expensive.

B1

I’d prefer to book a room at the Hilton – although it’s very expensive. I suppose it must be the most comfortable, the most convenient,the nicest. ( It’s so well-located !) Look at the Hilton brochure : WOW ! I can’t believe my eyes ! It must be real great ! I’d love to try their famous breakfast … It’s obvious I’d love to stay at the Hilton … but I can’t afford it. I’d rather go to the St James hotel : it’s in Manhattan = as I want to do a lot of sightseeing in Manhattan, I think it’ll be easier if we stay at the St James hotel. I think the best for us is to stay at the St James.The St James hotel is the least expensive and anyway, we won’t be spending a lot of time in our room ! We want to do so much … : there are so many things to do, there’ s so much to see … (I’m sure) Sure … staying at the Hilton must be an unforgettable experience … as long as you can afford it !! I think the Hilton is too big ; that’s why I suppose we’ll be better looked after, better taken are of if we go to the St James.

Friday, February 8thToday I went to the Statue of Liberty. We took the ferry at 9.30. It didn’t take us very long but I took some great photos of New York. From the ferry you have one of the best views of Manhattan. It was really funny because one of the passengers was seasick. When we finally arrived, our guide was waiting for us with two policemen. At first I was surprised but she told us we had to show our passports before visiting the museum. While I was queuing I took some pictures of Liberty Island. How small it is! We finally entered and I saw a lot of documents about the building of the statue and about the people who created it. I was listening to our guide when a man pushed me. He was filming the exhibition and didn’t pay attention. He apologized with a little smile. We stayed inside the statue for one hour. As we were about to take the ferry the policemen said they needed to see our passports again. I opened my backpack and realized someone had stolen my wallet. The policemen asked me “ Did someone push you while you were watching the exhibition?”. I said yes. He told me a pickpocket had stolen my wallet and that I had to go to the police station. They let me take the ferry and I went to the police station. What a tiring day!

Cette évaluation a été menée en cours après avoir fini le travail sur ELLIS ISLAND.

Vous avez sélectionné trois hôtels et afin de faire votre choix définitif,vous consultez sur internet les évaluations critiques de ces hôtels.Après lecture des 3 documents proposés, l’élève doit choisir celui dont l’évaluation est la meilleure et justifier son choix

ST JAMES HOTEL

1. The St James hotel is the perfect hotel to stay in if you really want to enjoy what New York city has to offer. It has a fantastic location, I was so surprised to see how close to Times Square it is. The hotel itself is quite basic but it’s extremely clean. The hotel was great value for location alone and the staff were very helpful at all times. I can’t recommend this hotel enough. Looking forward to going back!!!!

Choisir doc. 1 ou 2 pour l’évaluation positive : le document 2 correspond davantage au palier A2.

THE MANHATTAN CLUB

2. Best value hotel in the city, near everything to be seen in New York. Room always clean and the staff pleasant and friendly. Everything in the Suite (2 bedrooms) was beautiful and clean, beds VERY comfortable. Staying there at the same time as Mel Gibson was a bonus (one of my favorite actors)....... Room service food was prompt and delicious. You see, there’s no reason to go anywhere else. We stay here every time we visit.

THE NEW YORKER HOTEL

3. Worst hotel ever! This hotel should not even be classified as a hotel. The staff are very rude. It doesn't even look like a hotel but I paid $ 520 for 2 nights! Firstly the room was a disgrace: very dirty, very small, bed very uncomfortable; and the room was cold !! Then the toilet in our room was the smallest I have ever seen. We then had to find another hotel at the last minute so I will never suggest this place to friends.

Le surlignage couleur n’est évidemment pas destiné aux élèves.

THE MILBURN HOTEL

4. The hotel itself is quite nice and we weren’t exactly disappointed but the elevator service was not good; the personnel were quite competent but the receptionist was not very friendly. The rooms were small but clean. There was too much noise coming up from the bar : so you get no sleep. Spend an extra $50.00 and find a better hotel.
