Practical Assignment






Unit 1

At the airport

- Excuse me. Could you tell me where the Ukraine International Airlines counter is?

- Certainly. Just go up the escalator here on your right and you’ll see it.

- Here’s your ticket. Your flight is now boarding at gate 50. Go down concourse D to your left there.

At a passport and customs desk

- Your passport, please. How long are you planning to stay in the country?

- Three weeks. Could I prolong my entrance visa in case of necessity?

- Sure. The receiving party shall take care of it.

- Well, bags on the table and your customs form, please.

- How much do they weight?

- 23 kilos. I’m sorry, but you’ll have to pay an excess luggage
charge.

- Oh! It’s only three kilos overweight.

- Yes, sir...that’s £ 6... Thank you. Have you anything to declare?

- What?

- Alcohol, cigarettes, fresh fruit, plants...?

- Uh, no. Only for personal needs.

- Open your suitcase, please. Any gifts?

- Only one bottle of vodka.

- All right. It’s duty free. As you probably know, it’s forbidden to bring more than two bottles of alcohol and two blocks of cigarettes to England. And no limitations as to currency. Here’s your form.

- Thank you.

- Not at all. The next please.
