Super practical! English is a must-have for traveling abroad, just bookmark this article!

Many people have learned English, but because they rarely use it after graduation, they think they are not good at English and dare not speak it. But the most effective way to actually improve your English is to speak!

Especially when we travel abroad, as long as we dare to speak, it is really not difficult to communicate in English. No matter how bad your English is, 50% spoken language and 50% body language can get the job done.

The following is practical English for travel. It only takes 1 hour to learn and you can handle almost 90% of things during travel!

Suppose you choose a foreign airline and the company does not have Chinese service personnel. If you choose Air China, etc., then you don’t have to worry about checked baggage or English on the plane.

- Hand the other person your passport and air ticket. The other person may ask:

How many luggages are you checking in?

Do you have a carry on? (Do you have hand luggage?)

Can you place your baggage up here? (Please put your luggage up (conveyor belt/small box))

- You may be asked before checking in:

Do you prefer window or aisle? If the other party does not ask you, but you want to find a window seat, you can say

Can I have a seat closest to the window?

- Finally, the other party will give you the boarding pass and tell you the boarding gate number and time:

Here are your tickets. The gate number is on the bottom of the ticket.

They will start boarding 20 minutes before the departure time. You should report to gate C2 by then.

C2 is around the corner and down the hall. Thank you.

* If your luggage is overweight, the other party will say that your luggage is overweight. The answers to the above questions are yes, and I will not write down the no.

Actually, there is nothing to say. It’s just asking you to choose chicken or beef when choosing a meal... Just say

Chicken please, everything is OK.

Ask for water: Could I have a cup of orange juice, please

Ask for a blanket: May I have a blanket?

If you need someone to change seats, You can say: Would it be possible to change seats with someone?

If someone is sitting in your chair, you can say: I'm sorry, I think you are in my seat.

< p> It is generally not necessary to understand the aircraft announcements. In most cases, if you encounter turbulence, please fasten your seat belt, etc.:

Please fasten your seat belt.

When transferring, first look at the flight number on the ticket, then find the GATE for boarding the flight from the flight instructions screen at the airport, and finally follow the airport signs to the GATE. No need to speak. .

But a special situation may be that after you arrive, you find that the flight number you want to transfer is on the screen, but the GATE behind it is empty. At this time, you can confirm with the airport staff hello, could you tell me which gate is for the flight XXX (flight number) please, usually they will answer that the flight is delayed, or it is being maintained and needs to wait for a while.

In fact, when entering customs, you don’t need to say anything. Most of the time you just smile and hand your passport to the customs... He stamps it and lets you in. The following is a logically possible standard conversation:

Customs: where did you fly from? Or where have you come from?

You: from China

(If you don’t give him a passport, or he needs something else Things will say:

May I have your passport and sth, please?)

Customs: what is the purpose of your visit?

You: Sightseeing ( Of course you can say travel, but sightseeing is more authentic)

Customs: How long are you planning to stay?

You: Two weeks.

- Basic security inspection If you don't say anything, at most they will ask you to take off your shoes and belt when the investigation is serious:

Take off your belt / Take your shoes off. or something

Confirm whether you are on the right bus: Can I get to XXX on this bus? Ask about the fare : How much is the fare?

Ask the person next to you which station this is: Where are we? (Because many cities do not report the station at all and there is no prompt. Dear, remind me again, do your homework in advance)

For buses, grab the person next to you and ask: Excuse me, I am going to XX, should I get off at this stop?

For trains, Excuse me, I am going to XX , should I get off at this station?

As a popular science here, some carriages have no prompts, and the announcements are difficult to understand... At this time, what you have to do is to know in advance where this route passes stop, and pay attention to the sign;

When the car slows down and enters the stop, you will see a flashing sign outside the window;

P.S. Again, people around you may not pay attention to you. (Because many people live in the suburbs and take trains to and from get off work. They don’t care about the journey. They really don’t know where they are.) Remember to ask someone else!

Get in the car and tell the driver where to go: XXXX hotel, please. Or take the hotel business card/address, etc. and say: Take me to this address, please

Ask the driver to open the trunk: Could you help me open the boot?

Ask the price: How much is the fare (in fact, the driver will tell you proactively)

Tip: If you are happy with the close to a round number, you can say Just keep the change! But you don’t need to tip, the driver will patiently give you change. Legend has it that they earn a lot~

It’s very simple, walk into the lobby, find the front desk, hand your passport to him, and say

Hi, I have a reservation and I am checking in.

* They may ask for your credit card, freeze some money to prevent you from causing damage, or run away after watching paid channels...

Then they will give you the key ... Just go find a room.

* A common question here is to ask what time breakfast starts: What time do you start serving breakfast?

Likewise, you just say I'd like to Check out, please and then Just give them the key!

* If you have additional purchases (charged programs, food in the refrigerator, etc.), the hotel will tell you:

"Your credit card will be charged a total of $256.78. Can you sign on the bottom?"

"Should we charge the credit card on file or did you want to use a different card?"

Then just sign and leave. .

* If you don’t know what time to check out, you can ask the front desk one day in advance:

What time do I have to check out tomorrow?* If you can’t handle your luggage alone, I hope someone can check it out. To help, you can call the front desk:

Could you send someone up for my luggage?

* If you want to leave your luggage:

Is it possible to leave my luggage here until XX (time)

Because taxis are called by phone, you can ask the front desk, you can say:

Hello, I am going to XXXX, Could you please call me a taxi?

You can also book a taxi in advance:

I'd like to go to XXXXX, Could you please help me to book a taxi at time.

< p> * After checking in, the hotel may ask you if you need help with your bags. If so... remember to tip. If you don't want to tip, just do it yourself. Just say No thanks.

* If you want someone to clean my room for you, you can say to the front desk: Could you get someone to clean my room, please?

* If you want to go somewhere else, such as the city Center, you can ask the front desk: How do I get to city center from here? Can I take a bus or do I have to take a taxi? Or Do you have a map of the city?

* If you want When recommending a place to eat at the front desk, you can say: Can you recommend a good restaurant around here?

* If something is broken in the room: There is something wrong with XXX.

* The room next door is too Noisy: It is very noisy next door.

For example, McDonald's and Subway. In fact...during travel...sometimes I think McDonald's is quite delicious....The English conversation is also very simple:

McDonald's: .... welcome to McDonald's. May I take your order? ...

You: I'll take a Big Mac and a small coke. (Of course, It’s easiest to ask for a set meal, just say No.7 please)

McDonald’s: One Big Mac and One small coke, Will that be all?

You: Yes

McDonald's: Will that be for here or to go?

You: For here please.

McDonald's: The total comes to 5 euros

You: ..... Give me money...

Can I change the coke to juice?

No Ice , please

Word reminder: Ketchup, Napkin or tissue, Straw

Cafe

Please review the general outline of how you often drink coffee. Name, Black coffee, Latte, Cappuccino. If you forget to pronounce it, you can go to Starbucks to review it by yourself~

If you want coffee, you can simply say XXX, please, or you can say completely, Please give me a cup of XXX Finish.

When you enter a restaurant, if someone is waiting for you, you may be asked "Welcome to XX. Do you have a reservation?"

You can say No, Do you have any free tables right now? ..... Then he will take you to the table

If you are not satisfied, for example, if you want to find a table by the window, you can say Could we get a table by the window?

After taking a seat, the restaurant will first ask you if you want a drink, such as:

Would you like to order a drink now? / What would you like to drink.

If you don’t want to spend money on a drink, just say Water will be fine or Can I have a glass of water?

If you want to drink something, you can say I'll take a coke, I'll have an orange juice, or you can ask What kind of drinks do you have? etc.

Then the restaurant brings you water (you can study the menu during this period) and will ask you if you want to order:

May I take your order? /. What would like to order? / Are you ready to order?

If you haven’t decided yet, say Can I have a couple more minutes? or We need a few minutes to decide.

Think Okay, the waiter is gone, you can say waiter/waitress, may I order?

I'll take the Salisbury steak.... (If you can't pronounce it, just point to the menu and say I'll take this, or this one, this one)

After you order, the restaurant may recommend something else based on what you ordered, such as

Would you like toast , a muffin, or a cornbread? No thanks.

... Then you can wait and eat!

During the meal, people from some restaurants may ask you:

How is everything? Is everything ok? How is your dinner? Do you need anything else?

< p> Actually... I just want to ask you if you want anything else to make more money... Having said that, you really don't have to order all the desserts at the beginning... If you think the taste is okay, you can say Yes, that was a really great meal. We both loved it. Then the restaurant might say Is there anything else I can get you? No thanks, just keep taking this and that.

When you are almost done eating, the restaurant may ask you if you want dessert.

Would you like dessert today? / Would you like our dessert menu?

If not, no thanks, continue. If you want, you can ask for a dessert menu, and then continue to take this and that.

If you want to check out, stare at a service employee, then wave your hand to call someone over, and say

Can I have my check? or Check, please.

< p> Want to pack up:

Could you please pack up these (referring to things)

If it is a popular restaurant and you want to order food:

I'd like to book a table for X people, We'll come at XXpm today.

If it is a popular restaurant and you have not ordered a meal and you have to wait in line, how long do you want to know:

how much longer do we have to wait? or

how many people are waiting in front of us?

If it is a small restaurant, no one will pay attention to it after entering:

Ask for menu: menu, please.

Waited for a long time Served: We haven't got our food yet / I placed my order 30 minutes ago

Served the wrong food: I didn't order this.

Checked out , the money was miscalculated: We didn't order this / What's this 10 dollars for

Want a doggie bag: Could you give me a doggie bag?

* If you want more A plate or something: please give me one more table/knife/fork/cup, etc.

* If you don’t know whether to give money directly or to the person receiving the money (this sentence is very awkward...), you can say Excuse me after checking, do we pay here or at the case register.

* If you don’t know whether the tip is included in the meal price, you can directly ask: Is the tip included in the check? If they say No, just pay... .

* In addition... Sometimes I am very hungry and can’t find a restaurant. When asking for directions, I just say “Excuse me,” could you tell me where the nearest restaurant is?

Ask for fresh food. How long: How long does it stay fresh?

I usually just say I'm just looking around. Haha, if you are really looking for something , for example, if you want a small size shirt, then Yes, Do you have this shirt in a smaller size? or Where are your blue jeans.

Buying shoes is special because you have to ask the salesperson to bring them out? You have to go to the store clerk and ask:

Can I try this shoe on in a seven? / Can I get this in a size six? (Or you just want to ask if you can try it, then Can I try it on ? This is OK)

Because domestic and European standards are different, the following words are more useful:

I don't know what my size is, can you take my measurement?

In other types of stores, there is actually no need to say anything. You can just ask when you are looking for something.

But the sentence pattern is very simple: Where can I find xxx? / Do you sell XX here?
