As you know, we've been talking about air travelling lately. Being English the international language in this type of travelling, it's a good idea to know more about the vocabulary we need to use when we travel by plane, as well as practising listening skills, which is always good!
You know exams are coming soon, and you should take advantages of any chances you have to improve your listening skills. In order to expand your vocabulary, take a look at these websites and practise saying the words out loud, to get the right pronunciation. Sometimes, the written words on the site don't match with the words pronounced by the speaker. I apologize for that, but, in case this happens, always trust what the speaker says, regardless of what words are written.
Now, if you want to practise your listening skills, you can do so with these activities:
Finally, I'd like you to watch a few videos about in-flight safety instructions. Do you remember we talked about the importance of listening to those instructions when you're on a plane? Well, I'm sure these airlines took this into account when they decided to explain instructions in "those ways". I don't think any passenger could not pay attention with those instructions!
Aren't you just speechless? I am! These are real in-flight safety instructions, despite looking so unreal. Sometimes, reality certainly beats fiction!
To conclude with this post, I'd like you to have a laugh. As I'm sure most of you have "suffered" Ryanair, I think you'll understand this comedy skecth very well. Enjoy it!
No wonder why their flights are so cheap, right? :)
See you in class!
