Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Welcome to the English Pod community.

I'm Natasha, your host, and I'm so glad

you're here today. If you're new, this

channel is for improving your English

every single day with real life topics,

clear pronunciation, and natural

conversations. In today's episode, we're

talking about essential English for

travel abroad. Whether you're traveling

for business, visiting family, or going

on a vacation, today's episode will help

you speak English more confidently in

every situation. We'll cover airport

English, hotel conversations, asking for

directions, and more. I'll also share

real examples and little stories to help

you remember better. So, let's begin.

When you arrive in a foreign country,

the first place you'll usually visit is

the airport. Imagine you're at the

immigration counter. The officer looks

at you and says, "Officer, good morning.

Can I see your passport, please?" You

can reply, "You, good morning. Here it

is." If they ask, "What is the purpose

of your visit?" You can say, "You, I'm

here on vacation." or I'm visiting

family. It's simple, but having those

phrases ready makes everything smoother.

Let me tell you a short story. Last

year, my cousin Daniel traveled to

Canada to visit his brother. When he

arrived at the airport, he was very

nervous. The officer asked, "Where will

you be staying?" Daniel forgot the hotel

name, so he smiled and said, "Sorry, can

I check it on my phone?" The officer

nodded and Daniel quickly found the

hotel address. That's why it's always

good to keep your booking details handy.

Now, let's talk about hotel check-in.

You walk up to the reception desk. The

receptionist says receptionist. Good

evening. How can I help you? You can say

you. I have a reservation under the name

Ahmed. If they ask, "How many nights

will you be staying?" you can reply,

"You, three nights." Let's practice that

again together. I'll say the

receptionist line and you respond.

Receptionist. Good evening. How can I

help you? Now say your line. I have a

reservation under the name. You can say

your own name here. A few minutes later,

the receptionist might hand you a key or

card and say, "Receptionist,

here is your room key. Your room is on

the fourth floor. Enjoy your stay. A

nice response would be you. Thank you

very much. One time I traveled to

Malaysia with my friend Amina. When we

reached the hotel, we were so tired. The

receptionist smiled and said, "Welcome,

Miss Amina. Your room is ready."

It felt so relaxing. A simple smile and

friendly tone really make a difference.

Now, let's talk about asking for

directions. This is so important when

you're in a new city. Suppose you want

to go to the nearest mosque or a

restaurant. You can stop someone and

say, "You,

excuse me, can you help me? I'm looking

for the nearest mosque." Or you, "Can

you tell me how to get to the main

market?" Here's a short story. A man

named Mr. Khaled went to Istanbul. He

wanted to find a halal restaurant.

He asked a shopkeeper,

"Excuse me, is there a halal restaurant

near here?" The shopkeeper didn't speak

perfect English, but he smiled and said,

"Yes, go straight and turn left. Very

good place."

Mr. Khalid followed the directions and

found a small, clean restaurant with

fresh food. The owner greeted him warmly

and said, "Welcome, brother."

That moment made his trip special. When

you ask for directions, try to listen

carefully.

People may use simple words like

straight, left, right, or next to. Let's

practice.

You excuse me, where is the nearest bus

stop? Helper. Go straight for two

blocks, then turn right. The bus stop is

next to the pharmacy. Next, let's go

over ordering food in English. In a

restaurant, the waiter might ask,

"Waiter,

are you ready to order?" You can say,

"You, yes, I'll have the grilled chicken

with rice, please." Or, "You,

I'd like the vegetable soup and some

bread. Let me share another real

example. A family from Egypt visited

London at a small restaurant." The

father said, "Can I see the menu,

please?" The waiter smiled and handed it

to him. He pointed to a dish and asked,

"Is this spicy?"

The waiter replied, "A little bit." So,

he said, "Okay, I'll try it." Later, he

was happy with the food and said, "That

was delicious. Thank you." Kindness and

simple words can make a big difference

when you travel. Let's try a quick

practice.

Waiter: Would you like anything to

drink? You say you, "Yes, I'd like a

bottle of water, please." Perfect. Next,

let's learn some phrases for shopping

abroad. If you visit a market or a

store, you may want to ask you, "How

much is this?" Or, "You, do you have

this in a larger size?" Once a woman

named Fatima was shopping for souvenirs

in Istanbul. She found a beautiful

scarf. She asked the seller, "How much

is this scarf?" The seller replied, "30

Lra."

She smiled and asked, "Can I get a

discount?" The seller laughed and said,

"For you, 25."

It became a fun and friendly moment just

by using polite English. Remember, being

polite is very important when traveling.

Always say, "Excuse me, please, and

thank you."

It shows respect and makes communication

easier.

Let's move on to some common problems

and how to talk about them in English.

For example, imagine you lost your bag.

You can go to the help desk and say you

excuse me, I lost my bag. Can you help

me? Or you

I think I left my phone in the taxi. One

man, Mr. Yousef once lost his luggage at

the airport in Qatar. He calmly went to

the help desk and said, "My suitcase is

missing. It's black with a red tag." The

staff helped him quickly because he was

clear and polite. When you're traveling,

clear communication helps you solve

problems faster. Now, let's talk about

meeting people in a new country. When

you introduce yourself, say you, "Hello,

my name is Hassan. I'm from Bangladesh.

Nice to meet you. If someone says,

"Welcome to our city," you can reply,

"You, thank you. It's my first time here

and I really like it." That's how we

begin building friendships and good

conversations. During travel.

Now, let's talk about using public

transportation abroad, like buses,

trains, or metro systems. When you're in

a new country, it's important to know

how to ask for help or buy a ticket.

Let's say you're at the train station.

You can go to the ticket counter and

say, "You, hello. I'd like to buy a

ticket to Manchester, please." The

ticket officer might say, "Ticket

officer, one way or return?" You can

reply, "You return, please?" Let me

share a story. A man named Thomas

visited the UK for the first time. He

needed to go from London to Oxford by

train. He didn't understand the machine,

so he asked a woman nearby, "Excuse me,

how do I buy a ticket?" She kindly

helped him and they even had a nice

short chat. That's the beauty of

speaking simple, polite English. It

opens doors to connection. You can also

ask you, "What time does the next train

leave or you which platform is the train

to Oxford?"

Once you're on the train or bus,

remember these useful phrases. You, is

this seat taken? Or you, excuse me, is

this the bus to the city center? Let's

practice together. You, excuse me, does

this bus go to Central Station? This

question helps make sure you're on the

right route. Now, let's imagine you're

at a restaurant with your spouse during

your trip.

The waiter comes and says, "Waiter,

would you like to order now?" You could

say, "You, yes, we'll have the roast

chicken and a vegetable salad, please."

After eating, you might say, "You."

Could we get the bill, please? And don't

forget to thank them. You Thank you. The

food was very good. A short story.

Elizabeth and her husband James visited

a small family restaurant in France.

They didn't know French, but they used

simple English and polite gestures. They

smiled, pointed at the menu, and said,

"This one, please." The waiter

appreciated their kindness, and brought

them delicious food. Sometimes respect

and simplicity say more than perfect

grammar.

Let's talk about visiting local places

like markets, museums, or parks. When

you arrive at the entrance, you can say

you, "Hello, how much is the entrance

fee?" Or, "You, is there a guided tour

available?"

For example, David traveled to a

historical city and visited a museum. At

the door, he said, "Is this place open

to visitors today?" The guard replied,

"Yes, until 6:00 p.m." Then David asked,

"Is there a brochure in English?" The

staff gave him one. And it helped him

enjoy the visit more. If you want to

take a tour or learn more about the

place, you can ask you, "Do you have

tours in English?" Or, "You,

can I join the next group tour?" Let's

try another useful situation. Imagine

you're at a pharmacy in a foreign

country and you need something for a

headache. You can say you, "Excuse me,

do you have anything for a headache?"

Or, "You, can I buy pain medicine

without a prescription?"

One day, my friend Sarah was in a new

city and felt a little sick. She found a

pharmacy and said, "I have a sore

throat. What do you recommend?"

The pharmacist gave her some advice in

English and it helped her feel better

quickly. Using clear and kind English

helps in medical situations.

Always be honest and calm. You can also

say you. I'm feeling tired and have a

small fever.

Or you. Is there a clinic nearby? Now

let's practice what to say when you need

help in an emergency.

For example, you excuse me, I need help.

My wife is not feeling well. Or you, can

you call a doctor, please? If you ever

lose something or feel unsafe, go to

someone official and say, "You, excuse

me, I lost my passport. Can you help

me?" Or, "You, I need to find the police

station. Let me share a real moment."

Adam was traveling in Turkey when he

dropped his wallet in a busy area. He

quickly went to a police officer and

said, "Excuse me, I lost my wallet near

the mosque."

The officer asked a few questions and

helped him check the area. Luckily,

someone had turned it in. Being calm and

using clear words helped him solve the

problem. These real travel situations

show how important it is to practice

English.

It doesn't have to be perfect. What

matters is being clear, polite, and

calm.

Let's now talk about visiting someone's

home abroad. Imagine you've made a

friend during your trip and they invite

you to their home for dinner. When you

arrive, it's polite to say, "You, thank

you for inviting us. Your home is

beautiful."

Or, "You, it's so nice to meet your

family." A kind couple named Peter and

Anna once invited my uncle and aunt

during their trip to Canada. My aunt

brought a small gift and said, "Thank

you for having us." They had a simple

meal together and shared stories. That

kind of kindness is remembered forever.

When you leave, say, "You, thank you for

the lovely evening." Or you, "We had a

wonderful time." Now, let's talk about

shopping in a clothing store. When

you're abroad, you might want to buy

some

clothes, shoes, or accessories.

It's helpful to know how to ask for what

you need. Imagine you walk into a shop

and the assistant greets you. Shop

assistant, "Hello, can I help you?" You

can say, "You, yes, I'm looking for a

shirt." Or, "You, I'd like to buy a pair

of shoes." Let's say you want to try

something on. You can ask you, "Can I

try this on?" And the assistant might

say, "Shop assistant, sure the fitting

room is over there." Now imagine the

shirt is too small. You can say, "You,

do you have this in a larger size?" Or

if you want a different color, you can

ask, "You, is this available in blue?"

Once a man named Richard visited a store

in Dubai. He wanted to buy a long-sleeve

shirt for a special dinner. He said to

the assistant, "I'm looking for

something formal." The assistant showed

him a few shirts and Richard said, "This

one looks good. Can I try it on?" After

trying it, he smiled and said, "Perfect

fit."

Simple phrases made his shopping easy

and enjoyable.

After choosing your item, go to the

counter and say, "You, I'd like to buy

this, please." If the cashier asks,

"Would you like a bag?" You can say,

"You, yes, please. Thank you." Now,

let's move on to visiting a local clinic

or hospital while traveling. If you feel

sick or have a small accident, don't

worry. Just stay calm and use simple

English. At the front desk, you can say

you, "Hello, I need to see a doctor."

They may ask, "What is the problem?" You

can say, "You, I have a headache and

sore throat." Or, "You, I hurt my leg. I

need to see a doctor." Let me tell you

about a woman named Linda. She was on a

trip to Malaysia when she slipped on wet

stairs and hurt her ankle. at the

clinic. She said, "I fell and I think I

twisted my ankle. The staff helped her

immediately because she spoke clearly

and politely. They understood her

quickly and gave her proper care." After

seeing the doctor, you might say, "You,

thank you for your help." And the doctor

may say, "Doctor, take care and rest

well. Next, let's talk about visiting a

post office, which many travelers still

do to send letters or packages. At the

counter, you can say you, "Hello, I'd

like to send a letter to the United

States." Or you, "How much does it cost

to send a small box to India?" If they

ask standard or express delivery, you

can reply.

Standard is fine.

Or you, how fast is express delivery? A

man named George once sent a package to

his daughter while he was traveling. He

said, "I'd like to send this gift to my

daughter in New York."

The worker at the counter explained the

price and options. George smiled and

said, "I'll take the express. Thank you

for your help. Now, let's imagine a

situation where you need to rent a car

in a different country." At the rental

office, the staff might say, "Staff,

good morning. How can I help you? You

can reply, you. I'd like to rent a car

for 3 days.

They might ask, do you have a driving

license? You can say you. Yes, here it

is. Let's continue with an example.

Sarah and her husband Jonathan went to

Spain for a holiday. They wanted to

explore small towns, so they rented a

car. Sarah said to the clerk, "We'd like

a small car, automatic if possible." The

clerk showed them some options. Sarah

replied, "This one looks great. Will

take it." Before you drive, you might

want to ask, "You, is the fuel full?"

Or, "You, is insurance included?" Let's

now talk about visiting a local market

where people sell fresh food, fruit, and

handmade goods. You can say you, how

much is this bag of apples or you? Are

these dates fresh? Sometimes sellers may

not speak fluent English, so using hand

gestures and clear pronunciation can

help. Once a traveler named Henry went

to a small market in Morocco. He pointed

to a basket of oranges and said, "How

much?" The seller replied, "5 for $2."

Henry smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take

10." It was a simple and friendly

exchange. You can also ask you, "Can I

taste one before I buy?" Or, "You,

do you have a bag?"

Shopping in local markets gives you a

great way to practice real life English

and meet kind, helpful people.

Now, let's discuss going to the mosque

while traveling. If you're in a new

place and want to pray, you might need

to ask someone. You, excuse me, is there

a mosque nearby or you?

What time is the next prayer? Once my

uncle traveled to a new city in the UK.

He asked a local shopkeeper, "Is there a

mosque near here?" The shopkeeper said,

"Yes, just 5 minutes that way." My uncle

thanked him and followed the directions.

He was happy to join the prayer and felt

peaceful even far from home.

When you enter you can say you peace be

upon you and if someone greets you

respond kindly.

Now let's talk about joining a group

tour or day trip during your travels.

Many travelers enjoy guided tours to

learn more about the city or visit

special places like mountains, lakes, or

old towns. When you want to join a tour,

you can ask you, "Excuse me, do you have

any tours today?" Or, "You, how long is

the city tour?" A woman named Emily once

traveled to Jordan. She wanted to visit

the ancient city of Petra. At the tour

office, she said, "I'd like to book the

Petra tour for tomorrow."

The staff smiled and said, "Yes, we

leave at 8:00 a.m." Emily replied,

"Great. I'll be ready."

The next day, she enjoyed a full day

trip with a guide who explained

everything in English. During the tour,

you might hear useful phrases like,

"Tour guide, please stay with the

group." "Tour guide, we will stop here

for 30 minutes." If you have a question,

you can ask you, "Can I take pictures

here?" or you. Where is the restroom?

After the tour, it's nice to say you.

Thank you for the tour. It was very

interesting. Now, let's move on to

buying food or snacks from a local shop.

When you're walking through a city and

feel hungry or thirsty, you may go into

a small grocery store. At the counter,

you can say you, "Hello, I'd like a

bottle of water and some bread." or you

do you sell fruit here? A traveler named

Jacob once entered a small corner shop

in Turkey. He said, "Do you have

bananas?" The shopkeeper pointed to a

box and said, "Yes, fresh ones." Jacob

picked a few and asked, "How much for

these?" The shopkeeper replied, " $2."

Jacob smiled and said, "Thank you. Even

in small shops, using simple English

makes communication easy. Always

remember to say please and thank you.

Next, let's talk about meeting new

people while traveling. Sometimes when

you travel, you might meet other

travelers or local people. If you want

to start a conversation, try using

friendly questions like you, is this

your first time here? Or you where are

you from? A man named Daniel was

visiting a park in Canada. He sat next

to a man on a bench and said, "It's a

beautiful day, isn't it?" The man smiled

and replied, "Yes, perfect weather."

They talked for 10 minutes and shared

some stories. Just a simple sentence

started a good conversation. If someone

asks you questions, you can answer

politely.

For example, them.

Where are you staying? You I'm staying

at a small hotel near the city center.

them. Are you traveling alone?

You? No, I'm with my wife. Let's now

practice asking about prayer spaces when

you are outside. If you are at a park,

shopping mall, or tourist site, you

might need a quiet place to pray. You

can ask you, "Excuse me, is there a

prayer room nearby?" Or, "You, is there

a quiet place where I can pray?" Once a

couple named Hannah and Joseph were

visiting a museum in Singapore. When it

was time for prayer, Joseph asked the

security guard, "Is there a prayer area

here?" The guard said, "Yes, downstairs

near the restroom."

They thanked him and prayed peacefully

before continuing their visit. Now,

let's talk about buying gifts or

souvenirs for your family. You might go

to a shop that sells handmade items or

cultural products. You can say you. I'm

looking for a gift for my wife. Or you.

Do you have something special from this

city? If you see something you like, say

you, how much is this? And if you want

to check the quality, you can say you,

is this handmade? Or you, where is this

made? A traveler named Olivia bought a

small handmade basket from a market in

Kenya. She asked, "Did you make this?"

The seller smiled and said, "Yes, my

wife made it." Olivia replied, "It's

beautiful. I'll take one." Her kind

words made the moment special for both

of them. Let's also talk about eating

and simple places like food stalls or

local restaurants.

These places don't always have menus, so

you might ask you, "What do you

recommend?"

or you what is this dish called?

A man named Ethan once stopped at a

small food stall in Jordan. He pointed

at a dish and asked, "What is this?" The

man said, "Chicken with rice and

vegetables." Ethan said, "Okay, I'll try

it." After eating, he smiled and said,

"It's very good. Thank you." Simple

questions like that help you enjoy the

experience and learn something new. Now,

let's talk about checking out of a

hotel. When your stay is finished, you

will need to speak with the receptionist

again. You can say you, "Good morning.

I'd like to check out, please." The

receptionist may ask, "Receptionist, did

you enjoy your stay?" You can reply,

"You, yes, thank you. Everything was

great." Sometimes they might ask if you

used the mini bar or had any extra

services. You can answer clearly you.

No, I didn't use the mini bar or you.

Yes, I had breakfast twice. After paying

the bill, it's polite to say you. Thank

you for your help.

Let me share a quick story.

Michael and his wife stayed at a hotel

in Australia.

On the last day, Michael said to the

receptionist, "We'd like to check out."

The receptionist smiled and said, "I

hope you had a good trip."

Michael replied, "Yes, thank you. Your

staff were very kind."

Simple phrases like this make a good

impression. Now, let's practice some

phrases for making a phone call while

abroad. Sometimes you need to call a

taxi, a restaurant, or a hotel. Here are

some simple ways to start a call.

You Hello. I'd like to book a taxi for

6:00 p.m. or you. Hello. Is this the

Italian restaurant? I'd like to make a

reservation.

If

you need to ask for information, say

you. Can you tell me your opening hours?

Or you

do you have a table for two tonight? A

woman named Laura once called a hotel in

Paris to ask about their swimming pool.

She said, "Hello, I'm staying at your

hotel next week. Is the pool open?"

The receptionist answered, "Yes, it is

open from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m."

Laura thanked her and felt ready for her

trip. Next, let's talk about using an

ATM or withdrawing money in a foreign

country. When you approach the machine,

there are usually instructions in

English. If you need help, you can ask

someone nearby.

you, excuse me, can you help me use the

ATM? Or you, do you know if this machine

accepts international cards? When you

use your card, the screen may ask ATM,

please enter your PIN. ATM, would you

like to withdraw cash or check your

balance? You can choose by pressing the

correct button. A man named Andrew was

in Germany and needed cash. He was not

sure how to use the ATM, so he asked a

local shop owner, "Can you help me?" The

owner kindly showed him step by step.

Andrew said, "Thank you very much."

Being polite makes people happy to help.

Now, let's talk about using elevators or

escalators in buildings or malls.

Sometimes you may need to ask you,

"Excuse me, where's the elevator?"

or you is this escalator going up or

down?

In some places there are signs, but

asking someone is always okay. If you

want to use the elevator, you can say

you. Which floor is the restaurant on?

Or you can you press the button for the

fifth floor? Let me share a short

example.

James and his wife visited a tall

building in Dubai. They were unsure how

to get to the observation deck. James

asked a staff member, "Excuse me, how do

we get to the top floor?" The staff

said, "Take the elevator here and press

the 48th floor."

They thanked him and enjoyed the

beautiful view.

Next, let's practice some phrases for

ordering coffee or tea at a cafe. When

you enter, the barista may ask,

"Barista,

what would you like to order?" You can

say, "You, I'd like a cup of black

coffee, please." Or you, "Can I have a

green tea with lemon?" If you want

something small to eat, you can ask you,

"Do you have any sandwiches?" Or, "You,

can I get a croissant, please?"

A traveler named Sophie went to a cafe

in London. She said, "I'd like a

cappuccino, please." The barista smiled

and asked, "Would you like it to go or

for here?" Sophie replied, "For here,

thank you." Simple words made her visit

smooth and friendly.

Today, we will talk about going through

airport security and customs because

this is one of the most important parts

of traveling.

Many people feel nervous here, but if

you know the right words and questions,

it becomes much easier.

When you arrive at the airport for your

flight, you will need to go through

security. At the security checkpoint, a

staff member may say, "Staff, please put

your bags on the conveyor belt. Staff,

take off your belt and shoes. Staff,

please take out your laptop and

liquids." You can reply politely with

you. Okay, thank you. It is important to

listen carefully and follow these

instructions. You might want to say you

can I keep my watch on or you where

should I put my liquids?

After security, you will go to the

customs area. If you are entering a new

country, a customs officer might ask,

"Officer, do you have anything to

declare?"

This means do you have any food, gifts,

or large amounts of money to tell them

about? You can answer you, "No, I have

nothing to declare." Or if you do, you

can say you, "Yes, I have some gifts for

my family." A story to remember this

part. My friend Mark traveled to Canada

last year. When he went through customs,

the officer asked him about the gifts.

Mark said clearly. I brought some

chocolates for my wife and children. The

officer smiled and said, "That's nice.

Welcome to Canada." Mark was happy

because he spoke politely and clearly.

Now, let's talk about what happens if

your flight is delayed or cancelled.

Sometimes flights do not leave on time.

When this happens, you may need to ask

the airline staff some questions. You

can say you, excuse me, can you tell me

why the flight is delayed? Or you when

will the new departure time be? If your

flight is cancelled, you can ask you,

"Can I change my ticket to another

flight?" Or you, "Is there a hotel where

I can stay tonight?" Once a woman named

Emma was traveling from London to New

York. Her flight was delayed for 4

hours. She asked the staff, "Can you

tell me the reason for the delay?" They

explained there was a technical problem.

Emma asked, "Is there a place to wait

comfortably?" The staff showed her the

lounge. She thanked them and stayed

calm. It is very important to be patient

and polite in these situations.

Let's practice some phrases for asking

about your luggage. When you get off the

plane, you go to the baggage claim area

to collect your bags. Sometimes bags are

lost or delayed. If your bag does not

arrive, you can go to the baggage office

and say, "You,

excuse me, my luggage did not come. Can

you help me find it?" They may ask you

to describe your bag, so be ready to

say, "You,

my bag is black with a red tag. It is

medium size. A traveler named Paul once

lost his bag in Germany." He calmly

explained to the staff. My bag did not

arrive with the flight. It is a blue

suitcase with a sticker.

The staff were helpful and found his bag

the next day. Being calm and clear

helped Paul get good help. Now, let's

talk about using taxis or ride sharing

apps in a foreign country. When you get

out of the airport or your hotel, you

may want to take a taxi. It is good to

know how to speak to the driver. You can

say you hello can you take me to the

city center please or you how much is

the fair to the airport. If you use a

ride sharing app like Uber oryft you may

want to confirm the car and driver. You

can say you is this the Uber I requested

or you can you help me with my bags?

One time my friend Michael and his wife

were in New York. They used a taxi to go

from their hotel to a museum. Michael

said to the driver, "Please take us to

the Metropolitan Museum of Art." The

driver asked, "Do you want to take the

highway or the city road?" Michael chose

the highway. They arrived quickly and

happily.

Good communication makes your trip

easier.

Next, let's talk about ordering food

when you have dietary restrictions.

Sometimes travelers have special diets

like avoiding gluten, dairy or meat.

When you go to a restaurant, you can

say, "You, I am allergic to nuts. Does

this dish have nuts?" Or, "You, I do not

eat meat. Do you have vegetarian

options?"

A woman named Laura was traveling with

her husband, James.

Laura is vegetarian, so she asked at

every restaurant, "Do you have

vegetarian food?" The waiters were

helpful and showed her dishes without

meat. Laura enjoyed the trip because she

asked clearly. If you want to order

drinks, you can say, "You, I would like

a glass of water, please." Or you, "Do

you have fresh fruit juice?" Let's now

practice asking about local customs or

traditions. When you visit a new

country, it is polite to learn about the

culture. You can ask locals. You

can you tell me about special holidays

here or you are there any rules I should

know when visiting mosques or temples? A

man named Robert was visiting Dubai. He

asked a shopkeeper, "Are there any

customs I should follow when visiting

the mosque?" The shopkeeper explained

about dress code and removing shoes.

Robert thanked him and respected the

rules. This made his visit peaceful and

respectful.

Finally, let's talk about making small

talk with strangers during your travels.

Small talk helps you practice English

and make friends. You can start with

simple topics like weather or food. For

example, you the weather is very nice

today, isn't it? Or you.

Have you tried this local dish before?

A woman named Anna met a man named David

on a bus tour. She said, "It is a

beautiful day for sightseeing."

David smiled and said, "Yes, the sun is

perfect." They talked for a while and

enjoyed the trip together.

Small talk makes travel more enjoyable.

Today, we will focus on visiting a

doctor or hospital while traveling

abroad. This can be an important part of

travel. If you become sick or injured,

it is good to know how to explain your

problem and ask for help in English.

First, when you arrive at the hospital

or clinic, you will usually speak with a

receptionist or nurse. You can say you,

"Hello, I need to see a doctor, please."

The receptionist may ask, "Receptionist,

what is the problem?"

You can answer with simple words about

your symptoms. For example, you I have a

fever and a sore throat or you

I hurt my arm. It is very painful. If

you have medicine with you, you can show

it and say you I have been taking this

medicine. Sometimes the staff will ask

more questions to understand your

problem. You can listen and answer

slowly and clearly. If you do not

understand, you can say you can you

please speak slowly

or you

can you write it down for me. Let me

tell you a story.

My friend John traveled to Spain. He

caught a cold and went to the clinic. He

said to the receptionist, "I have a

headache and cough." The nurse checked

his temperature and took his blood

pressure. John said, "Thank you very

much." The doctor gave him medicine and

told him to rest. Jon followed the

advice and felt better after 2 days.

Speaking clearly helped him get good

care. When you see the doctor, he or she

may ask you questions like, "Doctor,

how long have you had these symptoms?"

"Doctor,

do you have any allergies?"

You can answer honestly. You I have had

a fever for 3 days.

you I am allergic to penicellin.

If the doctor gives you instructions,

listen carefully.

You can repeat the instructions to make

sure you understand.

For example,

doctor, take this medicine twice a day.

You take the medicine two times a day.

Is that correct? It is also polite to

say you. Thank you for your help.

Now, let's talk about buying tickets for

buses, trains, or tours. When you arrive

at a bus station or train station, you

may need to buy a ticket at the counter.

You can say you, "Hello, I would like a

ticket to Liverpool, please." The clerk

may ask, "Clir one way or return." You

can answer you, "Return, please. I will

come back in 3 days." If you do not know

the exact time, you can ask you, "What

time does the next train leave?" Or,

"You, is there a morning or afternoon

bus?" Sometimes the clerk will tell you

the price. You can say, "You, how much

is the ticket?" Or, "You, can I pay by

card?"

A story about this.

My cousin James was traveling in Italy.

He wanted to go from Rome to Florence by

train. At the ticket counter, he said,

"One return ticket to Florence, please."

The clerk asked, "What time do you want

to leave?" James said, "The next train,

please." The clerk sold him the ticket

and told him the platform number. James,

"Now, let's practice asking for help in

the city." Sometimes you may get lost or

need information. You can stop a person

and say, "You, excuse me, can you help

me?" Or you, "Can you tell me where the

nearest bank is?" If you want to know

how to get somewhere, you can ask. You,

"How do I get to the city center?" Or,

"You, is it far from here?" People

usually like to help if you ask

politely. When they give you directions,

listen carefully. They might say,

"Person, go straight for two blocks."

Person, turn left at the traffic light.

Person, it is next to the post office.

If you do not understand, you can ask

you, "Can you please repeat that?" Or,

"You, is it near a big building?"

Once my friend Sarah was in Paris, she

wanted to find a famous museum.

She stopped a woman on the street and

said, "Excuse me, can you help me find

the museum?" The woman said, "Yes, go

straight and then turn right."

Sarah thanked her and followed the

directions. She found the museum easily.

Polite questions help you get good

answers. Next, let's talk about buying

food in a restaurant. When you enter,

the waiter might say, "Waiter, welcome.

Would you like a table for one or two?

You can answer you. A table for two,

please.

When

the waiter brings the menu, you can ask

questions like you. What do you

recommend?

Or you is this dish spicy? If you are

ready to order, you can say you. I would

like the grilled fish and a salad or

you. Can I have the soup and some bread,

please? If you want water or a drink,

you can say, "You, can I have a glass of

water, please?"

Or, "You,

do you have orange juice?" A man named

Michael once went to a small restaurant

in Greece. He asked the waiter, "Is the

chicken fresh?" The waiter said, "Yes."

Michael ordered the chicken and said,

"Thank you." The food was delicious and

Michael enjoyed the meal. Simple

questions make your dining experience

better. When you finish eating, you can

ask for the bill. Say, "You, can we have

the bill, please?" When the waiter

brings the bill, check it and say, "You,

thank you very much." Now, let's talk

about using a taxi or ride service in a

city. When you get into a taxi, you can

say you, "Hello, please take me to the

train station."

If you want to ask the price before you

start, say you, how much will it cost to

get there? During the ride, you can ask

you, "Can you please turn on the meter?"

Or, "You, is this the fastest route?" At

the end, say, "You, thank you." Keep the

yell, change,

or you here is the fair. Thank you. My

friend David used a taxi in New York

City. He said, "Please take me to

Central Park." The driver asked, "Do you

want to take the highway?" David said,

"Yes."

After the ride, David thanked the driver

and gave him a tip. Being polite helps

everyone have a good experience.

Next, let's talk about making hotel

reservations by phone. When you call a

hotel, you can say you, "Hello, I would

like to book a room for two nights."

The hotel staff might ask, "Staff, what

dates do you need the room?" You can

answer, "You from July 10th to July

12th." The staff may ask, "Staff, do you

want a single or double room?" You can

say, "You a double room, please." They

may ask for your name and contact

details. You can say, "You, my name is

John Smith. My phone number is

123-4567890.

After booking, you can say you. Thank

you. Can I have a confirmation number? A

woman named Emma called a hotel in

London. She said, I want to reserve a

room for three nights.

The staff gave her the confirmation

number and email. Emma felt happy and

confident. Making clear phone calls

helps you avoid problems.

Finally, let's talk about asking for

directions inside a building. Sometimes

you enter a big shopping mall, hospital,

or office, and you need help to find a

room or office. You can say you, "Excuse

me, where is the restroom?" Or, "You,

can you tell me how to get to the

customer service desk?" If the place is

far, the person may say, "Person,

go straight and take the elevator to the

second floor.

person turn left and it is next to the

coffee shop. If you want to check, you

can ask you is it near the entrance

or you how long

will it take to get there?

A man named Robert was in a big

hospital. He asked a nurse, "Where is

the pharmacy?"

The nurse gave him directions. Robert

said, "Thank you very much." Clear

questions help you get what you need

quickly.

Today we will talk about renting a car

and driving in a foreign country.

Renting a car can be very useful if you

want to explore places that are far from

the city or if you want to travel at

your own pace. It is important to know

the right questions to ask and the right

phrases to use.

When you go to a car rental office, the

staff will greet you. You can say you

hello I would like to rent a car for 5

days please. They might ask staff do you

have a driver's license? You can answer

you. Yes here is my driver's license.

The staff may ask what kind of car you

want. You can say you do you have a

small car available or you I want an

automatic car please. The staff might

tell you the price and the rules. You

can ask you, "Is insurance included in

the price?" Or, "You,

how much is the deposit?"

A man named Thomas rented a car in Italy

last year. He said to the agent, "I want

a car for a week. It should be easy to

drive."

The agent showed him a small car. Thomas

asked, "Is the fuel full?" The agent

said yes. Thomas was happy because he

asked all the important questions before

renting. Before you drive, it is good to

ask. You can you explain the traffic

rules here? Or you are there any special

signs I should know? If you do not know

how to use the car controls, you can ask

you, "Can you show me how to use the

headlights and windshield wipers?" While

driving, if you get lost, you can stop

and ask you, "Excuse me, can you tell me

how to get to the city center?" Or,

"You, is this the right way to the

airport?" It is always good to be polite

and say, "You, thank you for your help.

Now, let's talk about checking into a

hotel. When you arrive at the hotel, the

receptionist will greet you. You can say

you, "Hello, I have a reservation under

the name Smith." The receptionist may

ask, "Receptionist,

can I see your passport, please?"

You can give your passport and say,

"You, here it is." The receptionist

might ask you some questions.

Receptionist, how many nights will you

stay? Receptionist,

do you want a room with a double bed or

two single beds? You can answer you.

Three nights, please.

You, a double bed, please.

Sometimes the receptionist will tell you

the hotel rules. You can listen

carefully and ask questions if you do

not understand.

For example, receptionist breakfast is

served from 7 to 10 in the morning. You

can ask you, "Is breakfast included in

the price?" Or, "You, can I have

breakfast later than 10:00?" A woman

named Linda checked into a hotel in

Canada. She said, "I I have a

reservation for two nights." The

receptionist asked for her ID. Linda

showed her passport. The receptionist

gave her the key and said, "Enjoy your

stay." Linda felt comfortable because

she asked questions clearly. After

checking in, you might want to ask about

hotel services. You can say, "You, is

there free Wi-Fi in the rooms?" "U, what

time is the gym open?" "U, can I get a

wake up call at 6 a.m.?"

If you need help with your bags, you can

say, "You, can someone help me with my

luggage?" Let's now practice asking for

directions on public transportation. If

you want to take a bus or subway, you

might need to ask you which bus goes to

the airport or you is this train going

to downtown? If you are not sure where

to get off, you can ask the driver or

conductor. You

excuse me, is this the stop for Central

Park? Or you

can you tell me when we reach the main

station? A man named Peter was in New

York and wanted to visit a museum. He

asked the bus driver, "Does this bus

stop near the museum?" The driver said,

"Yes, it stops in 5 minutes." Peter

said, "Thank you." It is always good to

ask so you do not miss your stop. When

you buy a ticket, you can say, "You, one

ticket to the city center, please." Or,

"You, how much is a day pass?" If the

machine is confusing, you can ask a

nearby person. You, can you help me buy

a ticket? Now, let's talk about shopping

in a grocery store or supermarket. When

you enter, you might want to ask where

to find things, you can say, you excuse

me, where is the bread? Or you, can you

tell me where the milk is? If you want

to buy fresh fruit, you can ask you,

"Are these apples fresh?" or you how

much is 1 kilogram of bananas? When you

go to the checkout, the cashier might

ask, "Cashier, do you want a bag?" You

can say you, "Yes, please." Or you, "No,

thank you. I have my own bag." A woman

named Emily was shopping in Australia.

If you want to pay, you can ask you,

"Can I pay by card?" Or, "You, do you

accept cash?"

If you want to know the price of

something, you can say you, how much

does this cost? Or you, is this on sale?

Let's now practice asking about opening

hours.

When you visit shops, banks, or offices,

you may want to know when they open or

close. You can ask you, "What time do

you open?" Or, "You, when do you close

today?" Sometimes places close early on

weekends or holidays. You can ask you,

"Are you open on Sunday?" Or, "You, is

this place closed on public holidays?" A

man named Robert needed to go to the

bank.

He asked the bank clerk, "What time do

you close today?" The clerk said, "At 4

p.m." Robert thanked him and went before

closing time. Finally, let's talk about

making simple small talk with people you

meet while traveling. Small talk can

make your trip more enjoyable. You can

start by talking about the weather. You,

it is a nice day today, isn't it? Or

you, it is very cold this morning. You

can also ask about food. You have you

tried the local food or you, what is

your favorite dish here? If you meet

someone on a bus or at a park, you can

say you where are you from? Or you

are you visiting the city?

A woman named Anna met a man named John

at a museum. She said, "Is this your

first time here?" John said, "Yes, it

is." They talked about their travels and

shared tips. "Small talk helps you

practice English and make friends.

Today we will focus on using public

transportation in a new city. When you

travel, public transportation like

buses, trains, trams, and subways are

common ways to move around. It is

important to know how to ask for

information and buy tickets. First, when

you arrive at a bus stop or train

station, you might need to find out

which bus or train to take. You can ask

someone. you.

Excuse me. Which bus goes to the city?

Center or you? Does this train stop at

Central Station? If you want to buy a

ticket, you can ask you, "How much is a

ticket to the museum?" Or, "You, can I

buy a ticket here?" Sometimes there is a

ticket machine, but it can be confusing.

You can ask, "You,

can you help me buy a ticket?"

A man named Peter visited Berlin. He

wanted to go to the famous Brandenburg

gate. At the station, he asked a woman

which bus goes there. She told him the

bus number. Peter thanked her and bought

a ticket. Asking simple questions helped

Peter travel easily.

When you are on the bus or train, you

can ask the driver or conductor. You, is

this the stop for the museum?

or you can you tell me when we reach the

airport if you want to get off you can

say you stop here please

or you I want to get off at the next

stop. Now let's talk about asking for

information at a tourist information

center. Many cities have a place where

tourists can get maps, brochures and

advice. When you enter, you can say you,

"Hello, can you help me please?" or

"You, do you have a map of the city?"

You can ask about special events or

places to visit you. Are there any

festivals this week? Or you, what are

the best places to visit in the city?

A woman named Sarah went to a tourist

center in Paris. She asked, "Is there a

walking tour today?" The staff told her

the time and place to meet. Sarah was

happy because she got good information.

When you receive information, you can

say you, "Thank you very much." Next,

let's practice buying food at a

restaurant or cafe. When you enter, the

waiter may greet you. You can say you,

"A table for one, please." or you a

table for two, please. When the waiter

brings the menu, you can ask you, what

do you recommend?

Or you is this dish vegetarian?

If you want to order, you can say you, I

would like the chicken soup, please. Or

you, can I have a cup of coffee? If you

need something special, you can ask you,

"Can I have no onions in my salad?" Or,

"You, is the bread fresh today?"

A man named John went to a cafe in

London. He asked the waiter, "What is

the special today?" The waiter said,

"Chicken with vegetables."

simple questions. When you finish

eating, you can say, "You, can I have

the bill, please?" When you pay, you can

say, "You keep the change."

Or, "You, can I pay by card?" Now, let's

talk about visiting a post office.

Sometimes travelers want to send

postcards or packages home. At the post

office, you can say you, "Hello, I want

to send this postcard to the United

States.

or you

how much does it cost to send a small

package to England? Ae

clerk might ask clerk standard or

express delivery? You can answer you

standard please or you how fast is

express delivery?

A woman named Emma sent a package from

Italy to her husband in Canada. She

said, "I want to send this gift quickly.

The clerk helped her and gave her a

receipt. Emma felt happy because she

asked good questions.

Next, let's practice checking into a

hotel. When you arrive, you can say you,

"Hello, I have a reservation under the

name Brown." The receptionist may ask,

"Receptionist,

can I see your passport, please?" You

can say, "You, here it is." The

receptionist might ask, "Receptionist,

how many nights will you stay?" You can

answer, "You, three nights, please." If

you want a room with a view, you can ask

you, "Is there a room with a city view?"

Or, "You, can I have a quiet room,

please?" A man named Michael checked

into a hotel in New York. He said, "I

have a booking for two nights. The

receptionist gave him the key and told

him the breakfast time. Michael asked,

"Is breakfast included?"

The receptionist said, "Yes." Michael

was happy because he understood

everything. When you leave the hotel,

you can say, "You, I would like to check

out, please."

Or, "You,

can I pay the bill?" Now, let's talk

about asking for help in an emergency.

If you need help, it is important to

speak clearly. You can say you help. I

need a doctor.

Or you please call the police. If

someone is hurt, you can say you, my

friend is sick. Or you, there is an

accident. A woman named Linda saw

someone fall in the street. She said,

"Please help. He is hurt." People called

an ambulance quickly. Linda spoke

clearly and help arrived fast. Now let's

practice buying souvenirs.

When you visit a market or shop, you can

say you, "How much is this?" Or you, "Do

you have this in a different color?" If

you want to pay, you can say, "You, can

I pay with cash?" Or, "You, do you

accept credit cards?" A man named Robert

bought a small statue in Greece. He

asked, "Is this handmade?" The seller

said yes. Robert was happy with his

purchase.

Finally, let's practice making simple

conversation with locals. You can start

by saying you, hello, how are you today?

Or you

is this your first time in this city? If

you want to talk about food, you can say

you. What is your favorite local dish?

or you can you recommend a good

restaurant.

A woman named Anna met a man named David

at a park. She said, "It is a nice day

today."

David said, "Yes, perfect for a walk."

They talked for a while. Today, we will

focus on going through airport

procedures. When you travel abroad, the

airport can be busy and confusing. It is

important to know what to say at each

step. First, when you arrive at the

airport, you need to check in for your

flight. You can go to the airline

counter and say, "You, hello, I would

like to check in for my flight to New

York." The staff may ask, "Staff, can I

see your passport and ticket, please?"

You can give them your passport and say,

"You, here you go." The staff might ask

if you have any bags to check. You can

say you yes I have one suitcase or you

no I only have carry-on luggage. After

checking in they will give you a

boarding

pass. You can say you thank you very

much. Next you will go to security. The

security staff may ask you to put your

bags on the conveyor belt and take off

your jacket or shoes. You can say you is

it okay to keep my watch on? or you do I

need to remove my laptop? Once through

security, you will go to the departure

gate. Sometimes staff may check your

boarding pass again. You can say you,

good morning. Here is my boarding pass.

When boarding the plane, a flight

attendant may say, "Flight attendant,

please show your boarding pass." You can

answer you. Here it is. Thank you. A man

named James flew from London to Toronto

last year. At the airport, he asked the

staff many questions like, "Where is

gate 24?" and "Is this the right line

for security?" The staff were helpful,

and James got to his plane on time. It

is always good to ask politely if you do

not know what to do.

Now, let's talk about customs and

immigration when you arrive in a new

country. At immigration, an officer may

ask, "Officer, what is the purpose of

your visit?"

You can say, "You, I am here for

tourism." Or, "You, I am here for

business." The officer may ask,

"Officer,

how long will you stay?" You can answer,

"You, I will stay for 2 weeks."

Sometimes they ask about your

accommodation. You can say you, I will

stay at the Grand Hotel. If you have

nothing to declare at customs, you can

say you, I have nothing to declare.

A woman named Emma traveled to

Australia. At customs, the officer asked

her many questions. Emma answered

clearly and politely. The officer smiled

and said, "Welcome to Australia." Being

polite and clear helps make things

easier.

Next, we will practice asking for help

with lost luggage. If your bag does not

arrive at the baggage claim, you can go

to the airlines office and say, "You,

hello. My luggage did not come. Can you

help me find it?" They might ask for

your flight number and a description of

your bag. You can say, "You." My flight

number is BA123.

My bag is black with a red tag. The

staff will give you a form to fill out.

You can say you thank you. When can I

expect my bag? A man named Robert lost

his bag in Germany. He went to the

airline office and explained clearly.

The staff found his bag and called him

the next day. Robert was happy because

he spoke politely and gave clear

information.

Now, let's practice using a taxi or ride

service. When you get into a taxi, you

can say you, "Hello, please take me to

the city center." If you want to ask the

price, you can say, "You, how much is

the fair to the airport?"

During the ride, if you want to ask the

driver to take a different route, you

can say, "You, can we take the highway?"

Or, "You, is this the fastest way?" When

you arrive, you can say, "You, thank you

very much." and give the driver the

money.

You can say, "You keep the change." A

woman named Linda used a taxi in New

York. She asked the driver many

questions to make sure the ride was

safe. Linda was polite and friendly. The

driver was happy to help her. Next,

let's talk about booking a hotel room by

phone. When you call a hotel, you can

say, "You, hello. I would like to book a

room for two nights." The hotel staff

may ask, "Staff, what dates do you need

the room?" You can say, "You from August

10 to August 12." The staff may ask,

"Staff, do you want a single or double

room?" You can answer, "You, a double

room, please." You may want to ask about

the price. "U, how much is the room per

night?" or you is breakfast included.

A man named Michael booked a hotel in

Paris. He asked the I staff many

questions about the room and services.

Michael was happy because he understood

everything before he arrived. When you

arrive at the hotel, you can say you.

Hello. I have a reservation under the

name Johnson. The receptionist may ask

for your passport. You can say you here

it is. If you want to ask about

services, you can say you is there Wi-Fi

in the rooms or you

what time is breakfast served? Now let's

practice ordering food in a restaurant.

When you enter the waiter may ask waiter

how many people? You can say you two

please. When the waiter gives the menu,

you can ask you, "What do you

recommend?" Or you, "Is this dish

spicy?" When you are ready to order, you

can say, "You, I would like the grilled

chicken."

Or you,

"Can I have a vegetarian pasta?" If you

want a drink, you can say, "You, can I

have a glass of water?" Or, "You, do you

have fresh orange juice?"

A woman named Anna went to a restaurant

in London. She asked many questions

before ordering. Anna enjoyed her meal

because she spoke clearly. When you

finish eating, you can ask for the bill.

You can we have the bill, please.

When paying, you can say you, can I pay

by card? Or you, here is the money. Keep

the change. Today we will talk about

asking for directions in a city. When

you visit a new place, it is common to

need help to find your way.

Knowing how to ask for directions can

make your trip easier and more

enjoyable.

If you want to ask someone for

directions, you can say, "You,

excuse me, can you help me?" Or, "Yuma,

can you tell me how to get to the train

station?" People usually like to help if

you are polite. When someone gives you

directions, listen carefully. They may

say, "Person, go straight for two

blocks." "Person, turn left at the

traffic light." "Person, it is next to

the bank." If you do not understand, you

can say, "You, can you please repeat

that?" Or, "You, is it far from here?" A

man named David was visiting Rome. He

asked a local, "Where is the coliseum?"

The local gave him clear directions.

David followed the instructions and

found the coliseum easily. Asking

politely helped David have a good

experience.

Now, let's talk about

buying tickets for public

transportation. When you want to take a

bus or train, you need to buy a ticket.

You can ask at the ticket counter. You,

one ticket to the city center, please.

Or you, how much is a ticket to the

airport? Sometimes there are ticket

machines. If you are confused, you can

ask you. Can you help me buy a ticket?

A woman named Laura was in Berlin. She

wanted to buy a ticket for the subway.

She asked a man at the station. How do I

buy a ticket for one stop? He helped her

buy the ticket. Laura was happy because

she asked for help. When you are on the

bus or train, you can ask the driver or

conductor. You is this the stop for the

museum? Or you can you tell me when we

arrive at the airport if you want to get

off? You can say you stop here, please.

Or you I want to get off at the next

stop. Now, let's practice checking into

a hotel. When you arrive, you can say

you, "Hello, I have a reservation under

the name Smith."

The receptionist may ask, "Receptionist,

can I see your passport, please?" You

can give your passport and say, "You,

here it is." The receptionist might ask,

"Receptionist,

how many nights will you stay?"

Receptionist, do you want a room with a

double bed or two single beds? You can

answer you. Three nights, please. You, a

double bed, please.

Sometimes the receptionist will tell you

about hotel services. You can ask

questions if you want to know more. For

example, receptionist breakfast is

served from 7 to 10 in the morning. You

can ask you, is breakfast included in
