- 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:

- a waiting hall - čakáreň

From the waiting hall we go through the under-passage /podchod/ onto the platform /nástupište/.
- 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:
- bed and breakfast – ubytovanie s raňajkami
- 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:
-
- passport – pas
- visa /if we need it/ – vízum
- money or a credit card
- luggage – batožina /a suitcase – kufor, a rucksack – ruksak/
