hey shane yeah you know we're talking
about checking in at the airport today
right right and you know like something
that really really made me upset the
last time i was at the airport well a
lot of things make me upset at the
airport please tell me what well did you
know that you know like five pairs of my
scissors were taken away
00:42
wait wait wait why were you bringing
five pairs of scissors
with you to travel well i do a lot of
arts and crafts i'm a kindergarten
teacher okay i totally forgot that i had
that many pairs of scissors and i had to
throw all of them away and plus i had to
throw away my nail clipper too
what what so it was on you have put it
in your carry-on bag yes
oh it was the after and then you know
the check-in point and then i have my
carry-on and they're checking my bag and
01:13
see what i'm putting on bringing on to
the airplane and then they took
everything away so confusing because
you're not sure which things you're
allowed to bring on the airplane with
you like to carry on or the things you
have to check in exactly and
i feel like the rules always change and
it's really embarrassing when you make a
mistake definitely so you always have to
check you know with people at the
airport before you board the plane and
then like i yeah i had some shampoo
01:43
and a shampoo i guess it was over
100 milliliters i forgot but i had to
throw that away because it's liquid
right
yeah and it was like
the shampoo that i could only get
i couldn't get that in the country that
i'm going to so i really like that
shampoo sometimes that happens you bring
it because it's something you want with
you
that's why you bring it i guess you just
have to double check the next time okay
so we don't lose anything and from now
on i'm not bringing any more you know
pairs of scissors
in my bag
02:15
yeah you should probably stop because
that sounds dangerous okay fine
[Music]
regina is at her airline check-in
counter good morning could i have your
ticket and passport please good morning
of course

thank you

[Music]
02:49
hi everyone welcome to abc interactive
english this is karen hello everybody i
am shane welcome back
it's part b right that's right copy of
travel english
flying abroad
so what's happening in part b well we're
at the airport okay and regina is at her
airline checking counter wow okay
counter wait a second what what is what
does that mean check-in counter so if
you're going to check in somewhere it
03:20
means that you are going to tell them
hey i'm here and probably get your
ticket
and then maybe you're going to check
your bags
exactly and give them your passport and
check everything right
we're going to check in just hello i'm
here that's right
and airline is actually our vocabulary
word as well
airline is a business that operates
regular services for carrying passengers
or you know some goods by the aircraft
right so if you're going to fly in an
03:52
airplane the airplane if say for example
it's eva air we'll say that's the
airline that's right the airline's the
name of the company or like china
airline
or maybe there is cathay pacific or now
there are some budget airlines too
and that means they are much cheaper
right
okay
so we're at the check-in counter that's
right right so the counter just a great
time right just like wait time that's
right so we're going to be there and
you're going to be checking in right i
04:24
think you're still
regina we i am still a regina so you
will be the person at the check-in
counter okay
[Music]
good morning could i have your ticket
and passport please hmm good morning of
course here you go so we have a ticket
and a passport so ticket is for the
flight we'll talk about that and your
passport
you have to have a passport if you're
going to travel right that's right it
shows you like which country you are
from if you're from taiwan then you
04:55
would have a taiwanese passport if you
are from canada you would have a
canadian passport if you think about it
you have a passport because you're a
passenger right
you're right because you're traveling
right so people when they see you in
different countries they know where you
are from okay
and the agent starts by saying
thank you
are you checking any bags today
checking any bags today am i checking
them i don't think because you're at the
05:26
check-in counter right so i think right
here what you're saying is that are you
going to you know have your bags you
know being put somewhere on the airplane
not with you as they carry on so if you
say you're going to check your bags at
the check-in counter that means you're
going to give your bags to them and
they'll be responsible for them and you
will get them back when you get off of
the airplane that's right right
but there's another word that check
another meaning which means that it's
like genta to like literally
05:58
look at something carefully so you might
also when you bring your carry-on
someone is going to check your bag to
make sure you didn't bring five pairs of
scissors
hey some people like to do art and
crafts okay
but you are right and usually you would
check your bag at the check-in counter
when it's very very big or very very
heavy and if you have something inside
where you just don't need when you're on
the plane right right or your carry-on
is the stuff you want to use while
you're on the plane exactly and regina
06:30
continues by saying i have one should i
put it on the scale
ah scale and that's very important to
know too because all the luggage or
suitcases that you bring you have to put
it on the scale because they have to
know
how much it weighs it cannot be too
heavy right so like it's a scale it's
just it's just a thing for weighing
things or people exactly you want to
know how much you weigh you will get on
a scale
i need to diet hey i don't do that
07:02
i don't mean you you
i mean the general you anybody
okay yeah so a scale is when you want to
know how much something weighs right
exactly so when you bring a bag just
make sure it's not too heavy because
sometimes when the bag is too heavy you
might have to pay extra for your luggage
or your suitcase has that happened to
you before yes it has really
is it a lot of money ah quite a lot
right so you have to be careful how much
07:31
you pack inside your baggage exactly
okay why don't we take a short break and
come back and find out what happens yeah
all right
[Music]
yes please
do you have any power banks or portable
chargers in that bag
no but i do have a power bank and my
phone charger in my backpack
that's fine
here's your boarding pass you will board
the plane at gate a8 and boarding will
08:05
begin at 8 15. okay thank you
[Music]
welcome back everyone how don't no see
so we're still having this dialogue you
know between regina and also the agent
at the check-in counter at the airport
correct
so the agent is going to say
yes please
08:35
do you have any power banks or portable
chargers in that bag
so a power
bank this is quite useful
right because i think that the way we
use our cell phones or mobile phones
smartphones
all day every day exactly right so it's
really easy for them to run out of
battery or run out of power
so you can carry with you a power bank
and that way you can charge
09:06
your phone all throughout the day
exactly so a lot of people carry their
power banks with them all day long i
know that you do right yeah and you
think about this a bank what do you do
at a bank
you take our money or you
put money in there so you can take it
out later when you need it you are right
so this is like you put some electricity
inside this power this thing right and
then later when you need it you can take
out some electricity
so basically it kind of helps you charge
09:38
your phone right right and we also have
the word portable and it's an adjective
when you say something is portable
basically it just means that you can you
know bring it with you anywhere you go
so yeah you can put it you know in your
pocket or in your backpack and bring it
with you mm-hmm so some examples would
be like um portable heaters that you
might have at home and then you can
bring the heater to from this room and
then you bring it to the other room when
you feel so cold or for little kids you
can have these little portable potties
like little toilets that you can bring
10:09
with you and i have a shaver usually i
use that at home but if i travel i can
use the shaver i can it's portable so i
can take it with me on vacation and then
shave there
exactly so very convenient when
something is portable okay okay and
regina continues by saying no but i do
have a power bank and my phone charger
in my backpack oh okay so she has them
in her backpack
which will be her carry-on that's right
all right okay so a back pack
10:42
it's pretty simple i guess right it's
like a pack or a bag that you carry on
your back so pack here means like a bag
oh like when you say i pack my luggage
so the verb pack means to put something
inside that's right so a backpack is you
pack stuff inside there and then put it
on your back and then
and it's very convenient when you travel
and you have a backpack and i think it's
always a good idea to have a backpack as
a carry-on because when you're on the
plane yes there might be some things
11:13
that you need you know maybe some like
you know tissue or there might be like
you know some snacks you want to eat or
maybe you want to use something to cover
your eyes so that you can slim like a
blindfold we are some ear plugs so you
can keep the noise out or maybe like a
facial mask some people like to do that
on the airplane so keep their face nice
and moisturized oh okay so let's see
there's lots of different things every
person is different so then the agent
says
11:42
that's fine here's your boarding pass
you will board the plane at gate a8 and
boarding will begin at 8 15.
so
to board
means that you're going to get on
something that's right usually get on
some kind of transportation like
boarding the train yes or boarding the
bus or now boarding the plane can you
board do you board your car
i don't do you board a taxi i don't
12:14
know
say it like that right so it's usually
for like more like a bigger
transportation where a lot of people are
going to go together right
and also mention the word you know
boarding pass right so when you go to
the check encounter you give them your
passport and then you give them your
ticket they will then give you a
boarding pass and you need that boarding
pass in order to board the plane if you
want to get on the plane you definitely
have to have this pass or else they will
12:44
say oh no get out of here and usually on
the boarding pass they will tell you
where you need to sit on the airplane
which row and what number and they'll
tell you which gate yeah exactly right
that's right so you know where to board
your plane right so what does regina say
and regina says okay thank you you're
very welcome i hope you enjoy your
flight and i'm pretty sure i will
and we'll see you guys next time okay
thank you for watching have fun wherever
you travel to
