Here is the conversation entitled “Apa Ada Internet Gratis?” which means “Is There Any Free Internet?”. This dialog happens when Kevin is already in the hotel for check-in. Kevin wants to know internet service in the hotel. Let’s read to the conversation.

After reading to the conversation, now I am going to introduce some vocabulary and expressions related to the topic of the day.

In the dialog, you hear a question word apa (2X) which means what. In the conversation, it is used to ask if the hotel has free internet for visitors.
