one - you - we - they
When we use the words “one, you, we” and
“they”, we sometimes mean pleople in general.
The word “they” of course, means other people
and not us. For example, we say:

If one goes to the cinema, one must have some

money, or
If you go to cinema, you must have some
money, or again,
If we go to the cinema, we must have some
money.
As an example of “they” we have the sentence:
“They don´t sell food at a clothes shop”. When
I ask you “if you go to the cinema. what must
you have?” I don´t necessarily mean you in
particular, byt people in general. We generally use
the word “you” more than “one” or “we”.

TASK 1
Reading Test Module 6

Read 4 reviews for a hotel.

Patsy190 writes: 6 of us stayed here for the weekend. The first thing we noticed on entering our room was how small it was.
Our rooms were clean, but the bed cover was stained. The furniture was really outdated, especially the bathroom, which
had an old pink suite and linoleum on the floor. The ‘shower’ was a hose that you fit onto the taps. The sink was in the
bedroom, right next to the television sockets which seems pretty unsafe to me. We had dinner there, and it was well-cooked,
but we were still hungry afterwards because the servings were so tiny. The drinks prices were extortionate - £5 for a small
glass of wine. My friend ordered a brandy and coke, but the waitress brought him whisky and coke. When we complained,
she just walked off! Not impressed. I would like to say it was cheap and cheerful but at £120 a night, it was neither -
overpriced and depressing more like.

MellowBunny writes: Just returned from a 3 day break here, and thought that the Coach Hotel was very good value for
money. I had requested a quiet room and this was noted at reception. I got a great room - large, comfortable and clean, with
a seating area overlooking the racecourse. The only disappointing thing was that there were no tea/coffee facilities in the
room - not even a kettle. The furniture and decor was not particularly up-to-date, but that’s what you would expect from an
old hotel. There was a wide selection of well-cooked food on offer. At breakfast I had poached eggs, and they were done to
perfection. In the evening, I had a delicious three-course meal, and I wasn’t kept waiting for ages between courses, which is
definitely a plus when you’re dining alone. I found the staff friendly and always willing to help.

TomWheeler writes: The hotel’s is just 200 metres walk away from the racecourse, so it’s really convenient. There’s plenty
of space to park. The bed was comfortable with clean cotton sheets. Good power shower. I would agree with some of the
less favourable reviews on the site too, though. The room definitely needed some attention – it smelt musty and the furniture
was old, cheap and battered. The bin hadn't been emptied from previous guests, and there was other rubbish on the floor.
The fan in the bathroom was very loud, and the plumbing made strange noises in the night. The walls were thin too.
Breakfast was okay, but there wasn’t much of it.

JadeUnicorn writes: Don’t be fooled by the pictures online. What you see is definitely NOT what you get! First, it’s not close
to the city centre – it’s at least a 35 minute walk. Furniture was old and dated, although the bed was comfortable. Tiny
bathroom, with an absurdly loud extractor fan. No lock on the bathroom door and no toiletries, not even soap. There were
cobwebs all over the hotel. The dining room is dark and uninviting, with no windows except one tiny one. The food simply
was the type that gives Britain a bad name. Instant coffee and cheap sausages. Service was poor, with staff clearing the
table while we were still eating.

Which reviewer says the following? Choose ‘two reviewers’ when two reviewers agree, and ‘all reviewers’ if all reviewers
agree.

1. The hotel was too expensive. 3. The service was poor.
