knok Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Hi everyone, How are you? I have been really sick for the past month. I am not doing quite well these days because of bronchitis and I am on medication, Augmentin. I took the June test in Chicago and stayed in Hyatt Regency on Michigan Avenue. Unfortunately, I had to stay in the non-smoking room that the guests who stayed before me were chain smokers. I had trouble checking in the hotel because all of the rooms in the first 20 floors became smoking rooms. I had been told that the hotel just hosted two thousand guests. All of them were chain smokers. Since it was a large group, the hotel had to put some of them in non-smoking rooms for one week. I changed room five times ( I spent 2 hours looking for the non-smoking rooms that were real non-smoking). Finally, I decided not to change it anymore and slept in non-smoking room with a lot of cigarette smoke. I could not sleep all night for 2 nights before the exam. I saw the housekeepers using the machine to get rid of the smoke in all the rooms. It was terrible. I am glad that it was over. Even though I booked the hotel that I thought it should have been good but that's what I experienced. When I was in the test room, I felt like I was going to be faint. Today, the result will be out. Hopefully, most of us will not need to take the TOEFL iBT. Good luck, Knok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
