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 thecargo
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.
okay.
- Here it is, you’re all set.
thanks.

- You should get to your gate about one hour before
departure
(the time planes leave the airport). - And how do I get to the gate?
You will turn left at the coffee shop. Security will be directly in front of you. Once you’re finished
clearing security
(move through security successfully), follow the signs to Gate 54. It will be on your right.- Thank you so much for your help.
You’re very welcome, enjoy your flight !
