-Hello! Is this the checking desk for American Airlines?	- Yes, sir/ma'am. How can I help you?
- I'm flying to Miami, I'd like to check in, please.	- May I see your passport and ticket?
- Are there any direct flight to Liverpool?	- No, you will have to transfer either in London or in Birmingham.
- Is this the gate for flight 188 to Paris?	- It was. The gate has been changed. Please, proceed to gate 3A.
- How much carry-on luggage am I allowed?	- You can bring one small bag containing no liquids on the plane with you.
- I've lost my wallet and my boarding pass was in it! I guess I accidentally left it at the security check point.	- Don't worry! Just go to the lost-and-found office, they'll help you there.
-Hello! I'd like to buy a ticket to Berlin, please, for tomorrow if possible.	- Let's see… I can get you on flight 517, economy class. The plane takes off from Heathrow Airport at 7:30 a.m. and arrives in Berlin at 9:20 a.m. Would you like a window seat or an aisle [aɪl] seat?
- I've missed my flight! What should I do?	- I'm afraid you'll have to buy a new ticket at the ticket counter. That's over in Terminal 3.
-I'd like to check in my luggage.	- All right, put your suitcases on the scale. One of your bags is overweight. I'll have to charge you for the excess weight.
- Hi! Is this the lost baggage claim? My baggage hasn't arrived.	- We'll try to find it for you. Can you fill out this form? Description of bag, flight number and value of contents.
- Excuse me, is flight 447 on time?	- I'm sorry but your flight has been delayed because of weather conditions.

Going Shopping

A: Hello! How can I help you?

B: Hi! I'd like to buy these shoes. How much are they?

A: These are 300 dollars 99 cents including the tax.

B: What a rip-off! That's definitely not worth it!

A: Oh! But we offer a 50 percent discount on them and a life-time warranty!

B: Oh, all right. I'll take them! Do you accept credit cards?

A: Yes, we do. But our PIN pad is temporarily out of order.

B: What a pity! All right, I'll pay with cash. By the way, can you break a 500 dollar bill for me? I need some change for the bus.

A: Sure! Here you are! Your total is 150 dollars 49 cents. Here's your change and your receipt. Please, keep it in a safe place.
