Original fictional learning scenario. People, dialogue and personal experiences are created for language practice.

Welcome to Willow House. Reception is staffed from seven in the morning until ten at night. Guests arriving later must contact us in advance to arrange access. Breakfast is served in the garden room from seven-thirty to nine-thirty; please tell us about dietary needs before arrival.

Bicycles can be stored in the locked courtyard, but they are not permitted in bedrooms. The river path is currently closed beyond the old bridge, so ask reception for an alternative walking route. Check-out is at eleven. You may leave bags with us until six that evening without charge. This leaflet describes Willow House, a fictional guesthouse used for this reading exercise.
