A1 — Lesson 116: Reading — short review (hotel / product)
Unidad 9: Descripciones, comparaciones y preferencias. Aquí lees reseñas cortas de un hotel y de un producto, con vocabulario de adjetivos (clean, noisy, cheap, comfortable…) para preparar las comparaciones de las próximas lecciones.
1️⃣ ¿Qué es una reseña corta?
Una review (reseña) es un texto donde una persona da su opinión sobre un hotel, producto, restaurante, app, etc. En A1 usamos frases simples.
Estructura típica de una reseña corta en inglés:
- Title / name: Sunshine Hotel, Blue Café, Smart Headphones
- Place: in the city centre, near the station, next to the park
- Good things: clean, comfortable, friendly staff, good Wi-Fi
- Bad things: noisy, small room, expensive, bad breakfast
- Opinion final: I recommend it / I don’t recommend it
- Rating: ★★★☆☆, ★★★★☆, etc.
| Adjetivo | Español | Ejemplo |
|---|---|---|
| clean | limpio | The room is very clean. |
| comfortable | cómodo | The bed is comfortable. |
| noisy | ruidoso | The street is noisy at night. |
| cheap | barato | The hotel is cheap but clean. |
| expensive | caro | The restaurant is very expensive. |
| friendly | amable | The staff are very friendly. |
En la Lesson 117 usarás estas palabras para comparar opciones (ej. one hotel is cheaper, another is more comfortable).
2️⃣ Reading A — Hotel review
Lee la reseña del hotel y responde las preguntas.
Sunrise Hotel — ★★★★☆
I stayed at the Sunrise Hotel for two nights.
The hotel is in the city centre, very close to the bus and train station.
My room was clean and the bed was comfortable.
The staff were friendly and the Wi-Fi was fast.
Breakfast was good but not very big.
At night the street was a little noisy because there are many bars.
In general, the hotel is not cheap, but I think it is a good option for a short trip.
I recommend this hotel.
3️⃣ Reading B — Product review
Lee la reseña de unos audífonos (headphones) y responde.
SmartSound Headphones — ★★★☆☆
I bought the SmartSound headphones last month.
The sound is good for music and podcasts, and they are light and
comfortable to wear. The battery is also good: about eight hours.
However, the plastic feels a little cheap and the buttons are small.
In a noisy street or on the bus, the sound is not very strong.
The price is not high, so I think they are a good choice
for students, but not for professional work.
4️⃣ Vocabulary — palabras de reseña
