Immigration, Checking in, Calling Reception...Practical English

Week 9^th -11^th June

Hi again!

I was very happy to hear that Juan was really pleased with the English he spoke in Italy. It’s very rewarding (satisfying) for me to feel that I have helped you to learn and that you could communicate abroad (in a foreign country) thanks to that. But of course, the effort is yours! You’re the one who is studying and taking advantage of (using in your benefit) the lessons. Anyway, I’m very proud of you!

In view of the success of ‘Practical English’, we continued with this section last week.

We watched the videos and listened to the dialogues.

Do you remember Mark and Allie?

Mark is from San Francisco. He’s divorced and he works for a music company: MTC. Allie is British. She also works for MTC, but in London. Last month, Mark travelled to London on business and he met Allie. They went for a coffee. They went shopping. They had dinner at a restaurant. They got on very well, so Mark invited her to a conference in San Francisco. And now, Mark is at the airport, waiting for Allie.

We watched the video.

Allie went through ‘immigration’. Then she met Mark and he took her to her hotel. She was very tired. The flight was 11 hours long and she couldn’t sleep on the plane. Besides it was 5a.m. in England and 7p.m. in the USA!

She checked in the hotel. She called reception because the air conditioning didn’t work and she also ordered a sandwich!

You can see the videos again here.

See you on Tuesday!!!
