CHECK-IN

• Hello, may I see your passport, please?

• Here you go

• I am going to London, i’ll be studying there for a year.

• How fun! that sounds like a great trip. I see your information right here. Are you checking any bags(put the bags on the airplane inside the cargo货物 compartment隔层) today?

• Yes, just one.

• Perfect if you could place it on the scale(the equipment that tells you the weight ofyour luggage) for me, that would be great.

• Here you go,

• thank you. Hmm, it appears your bag is just a bit too heavy. It’s over our weight requirement. Perhaps you could take something out of your bag and put it in your carry-on bag(the small bag you take with you on the airplane)?

• Yes, i’ll take this big book out of the bag, no problem.

• Great, now your bag is ready to be checked and I see you’ve chosen a window seat. Is that still OK for you?

• I think so. I’ve never flown before so I thought it would be nice to look out at the clouds. Do you think it will be a good seat for me?

• This is your first flight? well, that’s fantastic! you’re going to love it. And yes, I think the window seat is an excellent choice for you then. Let me print your boarding pass and you’ll be ready to go.

说英语计划

1. 我们把彼此当做一个不会说中文的外国妻子或丈夫, 这样事情就一切自然而然了, 你肯定是该交流还是要交流, 即使说的蹩脚英语, 然后做各种笔记把说不出来的不太流利的表达都记下来, 查查看看下回应该怎么说
2. 我们一周24小时都说英语(除了有自驾游的周日), 但是因为我们情况特殊, 我们有时候是要沟通重要事情的, 虽然一周可能就只有三四次重要事务沟通, 所以我们定一个规矩: 一周夫妻互相对话提供6次说中文的机会
