TRAVELLING BY AIR

Dialogue 1

On the Plane

A.: This aircraft looks very comfortable.

В.: Oh, it's bound to be; "The Company" takes a good care of its passengers.

A.: I'm sure of that. What about these two seats, will they do or would you rather sit nearer the pilot's cabin?

В.: I really don't mind whichever you prefer.

A.: Then let's sit down here. You must have the seat by the porthole, of course.

В.: Thank you, that's what I like.

A.: I say, we're already off.

В.: Yes, "No smoking" and "Fasten your belts" have been lighted up over the door to the pilot's cabin, so we must be off, though I hardly feel anything yet.

A: Perhaps, we are still on the runway.

В.: Yes, that must be. Look here, you haven't done up your safety-belt yet.

A.: Oh, thank you, I've forgotten all about it in the excitement of our departure.

В.: You mustn't, it's dangerous not to fasten your safety-belt when the plane is taking off or landing.

A.: I know it is.

В.: A friend of mine lost her front teeth that way. It was a rough landing, though.

A.: Poor girl. So I owe my front teeth to you.

В.: Oh, no, we are having a very smooth take-off.

A.: Thanks all the same.

В.: Here comes a stewardess with a tray. What will you have, some juice or lemonade?

A.: Oh, good. My ears are beginning to ache a little, I think I'll have some lemonade. And you?

В.: Orange juice, please.

Stewardess.: Here you are, madam.

В.: Thank you.
