Resepsjonist: Hei og velkommen til Fjord hotell, hvordan kan jeg hjelpe deg?

Inger: Ja, hallo. Jeg skulle stilt noen spørsmål angående hotellet deres. Hvor ligger det?

Resepsjonist: Det er et nybygd hotell rett ved fjorden. Det er bare en 10-minutters gåtur til byen.

Inger: Det høres kjempebra ut. Hvordan rom har dere? Jeg tåler ikke røyk, så det hadde vært fint om rommene er røykfrie.

Resepsjonist: Siden vi bryr oss om gjestene våre sin helse, så er alle rommene røyefrie. Vi har singelrom og dobbeltrom. Hvilket type rom er du interessert i?

Inger: Ettersom jeg kommer med mannen min, er jeg interessert i et dobbeltrom. Han har forresten akkurat brukket benet, så han kan ikke gå i trapper. Har dere heis?

Resepsjonist: Uff, det var leit å høre. Ja, vi har en heis.

Inger: Da vil jeg gjerne reservere et dobbeltrom fra 4. til 10. august.

Resepsjonist: Vi ser frem til å treffe dere begge.

Receptionist: Hi and welcome to Fjord Hotel. How can I help you?

Inger: Yes, hi. I would like to ask some questions regarding your hotel. Where is it located?

Receptionist: It's a newly built hotel right by the fjord. It's only a 10-minute walk into the town.

Inger: That sounds very good. What rooms do you have? I can’t stand smoke, so it would be great if the rooms are smoke-free.

Receptionist: Since we care about our guests' health, all our rooms are smoke-free. We have single rooms and double rooms. What type of room are you interested in?

Inger: Since I'm coming with my husband, I'm interested in a double room. By the way he has just broken his leg, so he can't walk up stairs. Do you have an elevator?

Receptionist: I'm sorry to hear that. Yes, we have an elevator.

Inger: Then I'd like to book a double room from the 4th until the 10th of August.

Receptionist: We look forward to meeting you both.

Drammen

Drammen er en norsk havneby på østlandet, i Buskerud fylke, og et av de mest bebodde områdene i hele landet. Drammen er rangert nr. 6 av Norges urbane områder med en befolkning på 93,000. Byen ligger ca. 25 kilometer fra Oslo som er Norges hovedstad. Byens sentrum ligger på hver side av Drammenselva, ved elvemunningen til Drammensfjorden.

Beliggenheten langs vannet gir store muligheter for både rekreasjon og industri. Drammen er en viktig havn for import av blant annet biler og frukt. Plasseringen er også ideell for bransjer som skipsbygging og treindustri. På et tidspunkt var Drammen et hovedsete for papir-og celluloseindustri, men disse fabrikkene ble nedlagt i 1960.

I 1866 ble store deler av Drammen ødelagt i en stor brann. Sentrum ble gjenoppbygd; inkludert historiske torget og Bragernes kirke.

Trikken kom til Drammen i 1909. Det var det første systemet av sitt slag i Skandinavia på denne tiden. Trikken opererte fra 1909 til 1967.

Året 2011 markerer 200-årsjubileet for Drammen by, men imidlertid er helleristninger som er funnet i områder rundt Drammen antatt å være fra 6000 til 7000 år gamle.

Drammen har mottatt åtte priser for miljø- og byutvikling siden 2003. Det er mer enn noe annet fylke i Norge. Drammen er også kjent for sin flotte historiske karakter med bygninger fra det 18. og 19. århundret.

Drammen

Drammen is a port city in eastern Norway's Buskerud County, one of the most heavily populated areas in the country. Drammen ranks sixth among Norway's largest urban areas with a population of ninety-three thousand. It is located about twenty-five miles from Oslo, the capital of Norway. The city center is in a valley on either side of the Drammenselva River, at the end of the inlet of the Drammensfjord River.

Its location along the water provides great opportunities for both recreation and industry. Drammen is a main harbor for importing cars and fruit. The location also enriches the shipbuilding and logging industries. At one time Drammen was a great site for the paper and pulp industries, but those factories closed down in the 1960s.

In 1866, many parts of Drammen were destroyed in a major fire. The city center was rebuilt, including the historic town square and Bragernes Church.

The Drammen trolleybus came about in 1909. It was the first system of its kind in Scandinavia. The trolleybus operated from 1909 until 1967.

The year 2011 marked the two hundredth anniversary of the city of Drammen. However, rock carvings found in areas of Drammen are thought to be six thousand to seven thousand years old.

Since 2003, Drammen has received eight awards for environmental and urban development. That is more than any other country in Norway. Drammen is also known for its great historic character, boasting buildings from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
