  1. Description of a railway station – Opis železničnej stanice

The railway station /vlaková stanica/ is a big hall with a ticket office /predajňa lístkov/ where we can buy a single ticket /jednosmerný lístok/ or a return ticket /spiatočný lístok/ and a seat reservation /miestenka/. There is:

  1.  
    • the arrival and departure board – tabuľa príchodov a odchodov
    • a luggage office – úschovňa batožiny
    • a waiting hall - čakáreň
    • lockers – uzamykateľné skrinky
    • telephones - telefóny
    • a drink machine (soda or coffee machine) – nápojový automat
    • toilets – WC

From the waiting hall we go through the under-passage /podchod/ onto the platform /nástupište/.

  1. Traveling on holiday

When we want to travel on holiday, we should first find accommodation /ubytovanie/ – we can make a reservation in a travel agency, make a reservation on the internet or call directly the hotel or motel and book /zarezervovať/ the accommodation before we arrive.

Hotels and motels are different in price /cena/ and comfort /pohodlie/. Motels are usually situated by the roads /umiestnené pri ceste/ and the services in a motel are usually at a little bit lower level than in a hotel.

In hotels and motels we can get different services:

  1. bed and breakfast – ubytovanie s raňajkami
  2. full board – plná penzia /raňajky, obedy, večere/

If we need anything, we can call the reception desk /recepcia/ and the receptionist will arrange what we need. We can also use the hotel’s services /hotelové služby/ – for example restaurant, bar, coffee shop, swimming pool, fitness centre, hairdressers or a beauty saloon and so on.

When young people travel on holiday, they can find accommodation in youth hostels /mládežnícke ubytovne/ => it is a special kind of accommodation for young people mostly in Great Britain => it is cheaper but you can stay only for a limited number of nights.

When we travel abroad for a holiday, we should take with us:

  1.  
    • passport – pas
    • visa /if we need it/ – vízum
    • money or a credit card
    • luggage – batožina /a suitcase – kufor, a rucksack – ruksak/
    • insurance – poistenie
