Episode Title | Listening to the Radio |
Phrase | reception |
Text | The word "reception," in this podcast, means how well a radio (or television) program can be heard (or seen) due to the quality of the airwaves and signals that are being received: "The farther you are from a radio station, the worse the reception will be." A "reception" is also a formal event to welcome someone: "The conference will begin with a breakfast reception so that people can meet each other." Or, "After the marriage ceremony, there will be a wedding reception at the Grand Hotel so that guests can congratulate the new couple." A "reception area" is the large room at the entrance of a hotel or a large office building where people can meet with others or wait for a meeting. Finally, a "reception desk" is the desk at the front of a hotel where one can ask for a room or check in. |
