M: Right, um, the first one and this is really useful for all our listeners who travel a lot, this  phrase will come in handy and it is “I have a reservation under the name”.

##有几行 wrong sort 
yes  [here have]/(there are ) some interesting phrases and words/ vocabluy(vocabulary and )  I know maro you want to talk (about ) something/(some of them)

yes uh , the first one that we  all the listener always  travel is   very useful , this phrase can use , it it  I have a reservation under the name 
under the name

so  before we explain   this phrase , let us listen (to) some examples about/on (how it is used )  in other situation/situations [ how to use]  and then we (will) come back  get/(and give ) you  more information
example one
my sec/secretary  have/made  a  reservation   under my name

example three

******p2
Do you make/have  a  reservation under the name  simis

M: Alright, some really good examples there on how we could use this phrase in other situations, but just in case let me explain it real fast. Under the name means that when you go to the restaurant or a hotel and you tell them your name, they know that you are the person that they have been expecting, they have been waiting.
all right/Alright  , there have some very nice examples , exp we how  it is used  this phrase in other situation , (but just )in case , let me  quick explain it (real fast). under the name  [is] mean/means  when you come to a/the  res/restaurant  or (a) hotel ,/and  tell they your name, they know  (that)you are the guy/person  that they (have been) expecting , (they have been waiting ) they are waiting for you all the time
OK/yes  , alright/well , I choice/have chosen  another useful phrase for you  that/and it  is mix-up
mix-up 
(There)seems (to be a mix-up) [a little mess] before we talk about this phrase , let us listen (to) some examples (of) how [to] (it is ) use [it]
example one
A aircrash is mix-up , my luggage was sent to  Al/ There was a mix-up  at the airport  and my bags  were sent to Antarctica.
example two
(I am )sorry , sir , something/(there's been a terrible) mix-up , we (have) give/given you a/the  wrong baby .

yes/yeah , that is he/uh , the baby situation (is)
MY god  images/Imagine what/that  happen/happening.
yes/yeah  I know
ok  guys ,so mix-up  is a  confeen/confusion  or  mistake/misunderstanding 
en ,right/exactly  , very good/Well put 
ok/alright   ,maro  (what )do  you  have [something] for us?
ok , the next word  we should con/take  a look at  is  overbooked
overbooked
overbooked  what is/does  that mean

so , if  a  hotel or plant/flight (is) overbooked , it means (that)  they had/are full  and (they are more than full)
yes ,so  they can't acce/accept   anyone/any more people.
that is right/exactly 
well .now  why does/is  this phrase useful
because  it happen/happens  all the time

(There'are so many )[in lot of] situation/situations ,/where  you can use this word ,/or could heard/hear (it) from other  native (English) speaker [as well ], uh/Um ,for example ,(a) bus or train maybe/can be  overbooked
exactly , that is very/really  common , ok .let us take a look at (the) last phrase (for) today (and) that is (complementary)  upgrade

complementary upgrade
so it/this  means (that) ,for example ,when (the)hotel  (is) overbooked ,/and  all the standr/standard  room/rooms  is/are  full , they will get/give  you a  better room , a  more expense/expensive  room  but [is] free.
yes  because is/it was  not you fault
right , if in the plant you are luckly/lucky  , this situation happen sometime .
Right , this also happens  sometimes if you are lucky on airplane flights 
yes




A: There‟re so many other situations where you can use this word or hear it from other native English speakers. Um, for example, a bus or a train can be overbooked.
M: Exactly, that‟s really common. Okay, let‟s take a look at the last phrase for today and
that is complementary upgrade.
A: Complementary upgrade.
M: Complementary upgrade.
A: Complementary upgrade.
M: So, this means that, for example, when the hotel is overbooked and all of their standard rooms are full, they will give you a better room, a more expensive room, but free.
A: Yes, because it was not your fault.
M: Right, this also happens sometimes if you‟re lucky on airplane flights.
A: Yes.

M: So, if you are in „economy class‟ in an airplane, but for some reason it‟s overbooked, they will move you to „business class‟ or „first class‟ for free.
A: I have a similar story, but I‟m not gonna tell you about it now. For now, let‟s go and listen to the dialogue one more time and when we come back, we‟ll talk some more.
