start with the first situation for today
take a look at this video and try to
guess which situation which travel
situation are we going to talk about in
this video what do you think
you guess the airport well if you
guessed the airport you’re correct
there’s not many places that look like
that but only the airport today we’re
gonna talk about five expressions that
will be useful to you in the airport of
course there’s plenty of others and it
depends on your situation where you’re
flying to where you’re going where
you’re leaving from but let’s talk about
these five basic expressions that you
can build on to really master airport
travel the first expression you can use
at the check-in counter the person at
the check-in counter will probably ask
you do you have an ID do you have a
passport do you have a boarding pass
because it’s possible that you already
printed your boarding pass or maybe
you’re at the check-in counter because
you want to get your boarding pass
they’ll probably ask you this and if you
have those documents you can simply give
them to the officer or you can say here
you go here you go and it’s these little
conversations that will help you to feel
more fluent and natural in a lot of
situations you don’t need to say much
but native speakers will often use these
short expressions like here you go so I
hope you can use it too the second
expression is used at that same place at
the check-in counter the person at the
check-in counter will probably ask you
do you have any checked bags do you have
any carry-on bags and a checked bag
means that you give it to them usually
this is your biggest suitcase it’s
pretty heavy you give it to them and
they will deliver it to your final
destination hopefully if all goes well
so you could say yes I have one checked
bag I have two checked bags what about a
carry-on bag a carry-on bag is pretty
clear you carry it on the airplane
usually a smaller bag backpack small
suitcase so you could say I have two
checked bag
and one carry on clear and simple the
third question is something that you’ll
probably be asked at the check-in
counter and probably again when you go
through the detection machines so
they’ll probably ask you do you have any
food liquid or medicine in your bag and
usually when you fly you have to put
some small liquid containers in a
plastic bag especially if it’s in your
carry-on so if you’re not taking any
food you’re not taking any liquid or any
medicines of course you can just say no
but most people have some kind of small
liquids so what I say is all my liquids
are in this bag and it shows that you
know the rules you know they should be
in that bag and you’re physically
showing them do you have any food liquid
or medicine all my liquids are in this
bag great super clear and it’s not
causing any problems
the fourth expression is one to use if
you’ve got a problem if you missed your
flight you’re gonna go to the closest
counter and you’re gonna say I missed my
flight to Chicago when is the next
flight to Chicago I missed my flight
this is gonna help you to really know
what should I do next because you can
feel pretty lost the final expression
that you can use is at immigration so
you’ve already finished your flight and
you’re trying to get into the country
and depending on the country they’ll
probably ask you a lot of questions some
typical questions are when is your
return flight can I see your ticket do
you have your return boarding pass with
you sometimes they like to physically
see this so just make sure that if
you’re going through immigration you
have all those papers ready and that you
also understand what they’re gonna ask
you so now I want to know for you if
