对话文本
VICKI:So after your friend got off the plane Matt, what did he do?

MATT:Well, he had reserved a few nights in a hotel, so he went to check in.

VICKI:We use that phrase – to check in, when you arrive at a hotel and give your name and get the keys to your room.

MATT:Ah but Peter didn't like the hotel very much so he checked out again straight away!

VICKI:So he changed his mind, gave his keys back and left!

MATT:Yes, well he says in his email that the hotel was dirty and noisy, so he just decided to check out!

VICKI:Wow it must have been bad if he left immediately. I hope he found somewhere else to stay.

MATT:Yes, he found another hotel, checked in there and is much happier now.

VICKI:Well that's good.
