Social distancing, or physical distancing involves keeping a distance of six feet or two meters from others and avoiding gathering together in large groups to prevent the spread of a contagious disease.
According to the Cambridge dictionary online, “If you say there is an elephant in the room, you mean that there is an obvious problem or difficult situation that people do not want to talk about.”
You should listen to these songs written and played during this pandemic and try to solve : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Zb8pwSwVqbb8zIb8XRL9eQAnGWDR0KtE/view

26th May - Don't panic !
As a hotel
manager, I have some interesting stories about our guests. Well, people steal
anything. For example, one couple stole sheets and blankets from their beds,
but one of the maids saw them do it. So, the porter who carried their luggage
down, took the sheets and blankets out and replaced them with a set of telephone
directories.
We also get some unreasonable requests. At a hotel in
London, one couple wanted to have dinner on their own in the hotel ballroom
with a gypsy violinist and a palm tree. And they also wanted to be able to see
the moon!
Other people
completely destroy their rooms. One couple managed to spill coffee over an area
of nine metres square. It was everywhere – on the TV, across the floor and on
the bedclothes.
Answer the following questions:
1.
Who are the protagonists of the stories mentioned in the
text?
2.
What
trick did the members of the hotel staff play on the couple who stole sheets
and blankets from their beds?
3.
What
example of unusual request does the manager give?
4.
Which,
according to the hotel manager, are the three categories of incredible things
that happen in hotels?
