新視野大學英語視聽說教程第三冊 Unit 8 MODEL 2 Last week I flew non-stop to Sa~Francisco.
Script
Nora: Hey John.
John:hey Nora: I took a course on how the airport runs, and I don't suffer from fear of flying any more. Last week I flew nonstop to San Francisco.
John: Congratulations! Which flight did you take?
Nora: United Airlines, Flight UA858.
John: How did it go? Everything smooth sailing?
Nora: Not everything. Since I hadn't traveled by air for a long time, I wasn't familiar with the airport. It took me quite a while to find the United Airlines check-in counter.
John: Then how did you find it?
Nora: In fact, it was displayed on the monitor: "Flight UA858 c~/Counter 45."
John: And was everything OK once you found it?
Nora: No, there was a terrible line-up. I had to wait there for an hour.
John: I see. You must have been burned out waiting before you even boarded the plane.
Nora: That still wasn't the end of my troubles. When I finally got to the counter and handed in my passport and ticket, the airline agent looked at my passport and at me again and again.
John: Why? Did she think your passport was a fake?
Nora: I don't know. I just told her my photo did not flatter me at all.
John: Your photo certainly doesn't do justice to your beauty.
Nora: She didn't say anything like that. Fortunately, when I asked for an aisle seat, she said she had one. You know, I wouldn't dare take a window seat and look out the window.
John: I prefer an aisle seat, too. Then I can stretch my legs and occasionally stand up in the aisle.
Nora: Finally she gave me a boarding pass, and it said that my flight would be boarding at Gate 33 in just minutes. So I had to run!
John: That's bad luck. But you made it! Good for you.
