新視野大學英語視聽說教程第三冊 Unit 8 SAMPLE DIALOG

A: Hey, good to see you back. How was your trip? Everything smooth sailing?

B: Not bad, though I had a little trouble before boarding.

A: What was wrong?

B: I was caught in a traffic jam and almost missed the flight. But I managed to get to the airport in time

A: Congratulations! Which flight did you take?

B: British Airways, Flight BA 554.

A: Was it easy for you to find the right counter?

B: Yes, the information was displayed on the monitor.

A: Since there was not much time left for you, I hope there wasn't a terrible line-up at the counter.

B: Luckily, no. The queue was quite short. But I had another problem.

A: What was that?

B: When I handed in my passport, the airline agent looked at it for a long time.

A: Why? Did the agent think your passport was a fake?

B: No, she didn't, but she told me that my passport was going to expire in a week. So you see, I had to fly back quickly.

A: I hope that was the end of your troubles.

B: Not completely. I still had trouble with my baggage.

A: What was the problem?

B: It was overweight. It took me a while to go through the procedure.

A: Any good news before you boarded the plane?

B: Yes, when I asked for a window seat, I got one. You know, I wouldn't like to take an aisleor middle seat where I couldn't enjoy the view.

A: I prefer an aisle seat, though. So that I can stretch my legs and occasionally stand up.

B: Finally the agent gave me the boarding pass, and it said that my flight would be boarding at Gate 24 in just minutes. So I had to run!

A: But you made it! Good for you
