生活英語情景口語100主題 32. Going Abroad 境外游
Dialogue One:
A: Hello, where are you heading today?
B: I'm off to Barcelona for a week.
A: Do you have your passport with you?
B: Yes, here you go. I don't need a visa to go to Spain, do I?
A: Fortunately for you, you don't. Next time if you have any questions about visas, you should try to find out before you get to the airport.
B: That's good advice.
A: Would you like a window seat or an aisle seat?
B: Are there any seats available by the emergency exits?
A: Yeah... let me see here. Yes, there is one left.
B: Ok, I'll take that one then.
A: All right. How many pieces of luggage you check in?
B: I like to have travel light, so I just have this one.
A: If that's your only piece of luggage, it is small enough to carry on with you. Would you like to do that so that you don't have to wait in the luggage reclaim once you arrive?
B: Yes, please. That's a fantastic idea! Which gate do I need to go to?
A: You're here a bit early. So you check the departure screens in the waiting area in about half an hour. Here is your boarding pass. Enjoy your flight!
Dialogue Two:
A: Can I see your passport, please?
B: Is this line for non-residents?
A: Yes, it is. Residents can queue up in the lines to my right.
B: Ok. Here is my passport.
A: What's the expiration date on your passport?
B: I think it's soon, maybe in a few months. It was renewed in Beijing, so the new expiry date is on the last page.
A: I see. Yes, you need to renew your passport in a few months. Make sure you don't want an expiry work while you're in the UK.
B: I won't.
A: Do you have anything to declare?
B: No, I don't have anything to declare.
A: How long will you be staying in the UK?
B: I'll be there for about a year.
A: What is the purpose of your stay?
B: I'll be studying. I'm doing an MBA in Nortingham University.
A: Where will you be staying?
B: I have a housing contract with the university. I'll be in the dorm room on campus.
A: How do you plan on paying for your living costs and tuition fees while you're here?
B: My father has already paid for them in advance. Here are the receipts.
A: Ok. Have a good stay. Here is your passport and documents back.
B: Thank you very much.
