Many people like to stay in hotels when they travel. Others prefer to rent an apartment
and stay there, especially for longer trips. What advantages or disadvantages can you see
to each? When you and your family travel, do you like to stay with friends in their homes
or stay in hotels? Why? Have you ever rented an apartment in another city while you were
on vacation? What do you look for when you book a hotel or rent a place to stay? What
things do you absolutely have to have? What things don’t matter?
Task:
Imagine that your parents are planning a trip to Quito, Ecuador. Because you speak
Spanish, your parents have asked you to make the arrangements for where they will stay
while they are there. The visit is a long one to three weeks during the summer and your
parents are relying on you to find them a place to stay that is comfortable, in a good
location, and not too expensive.
Now think about what kind of hotel and what kind of apartment your parents would
prefer. You will identify the features that the ideal apartment and the ideal hotel would
offer. Charts will be provided for you.
Step 1: Analyze the task and assign research
Think about your parents and their living preferences. Do they need a lot of space? A little
space? Do they like to cook or do they prefer to eat out? When they travel, do they spend
a lot of time in the hotel or apartment, or do they prefer to spend most of their time out
exploring? How much money are they willing to spend?
Evaluate the ideal hotel and apartment for your parents. As you evaluate the features of
each, write down your decisions in the following charts.
Note: If you do not want to do both mom and dad you can pick someone else
and do yourself and the person who lives with you
