MÓDULO 2

 

Atividade 5

 

Entregue uma cópia das expressões e perguntas seguintes para cada aluno. Leia oralmente as frases e perguntas, tirando possíveis dúvidas com pronúncia e vocabulário. Essa lista também servirá de modelo para a atividade avaliativa formal, a ser desenvolvida ao final da aula. 

 

Other questions & phrases for the airport

 

§   “Excuse me, where is the American Airlines check-in desk?”

§  “Where is terminal 4?”

§  “Where is gate 36?”

§  “How many bags can I check?”

§  “Will my luggage go straight through, or do I need to pick it up in [Chicago]?”

§  “How much is the fee?”
 

If your bag is heavier than the weight limits, or if your bag is larger than the size limits, you may need to pay extra. an oversized baggage fee or overweight baggage fee (this can be $75 to $300). Some airlines in the United States also charge a fee for ALL checked bags (usually $15 to $30).

§  “Please mark this bag as ‘fragile.’”
 

Say this if you have fragile or sensitive items in your bag that might break

§  “Is the flight on time?”
 

The agent will respond either “Yes” if the flight is on time, or “There’s a 20-minute delay” (for example) if the flight will leave later than expected.

 

Extra questions in the U.S.

On flights going to or inside the U.S., you will probably be asked some extra security questions before or during check-in. Here are some sample questions:

 

Answer YES to these questions:

 

§  Did you pack your bags yourself?

§  Has your luggage been in your possession at all times?

§  Are you aware of the regulations regarding liquids in your carry-on?

 

Answer NO to these questions:

 

§  Are you carrying any firearms or flammable materials?

§  Have you left your luggage unattended at any time?

§  Has anyone given you anything to carry on the flight?

 

Conversation Tips:

 

If you didn’t understand what the flight attendant said, you can say Sorry? or Pardon? to ask him or her to repeat it.

 

If you want to ask for something, you can use the phrase “Can I have…?” or “Could I have…?” Practice your pronunciation with these common requests:

 

 “Can I have a pillow?”

§  “Can I have a blanket?”

§  “Can I have a pair of headphones?” / “Could I have a headset?”

§  “Could I have some water/coffee/tea?”

§  “Could I have some extra napkins?”

 

Finally, if you need to stand up, but there is a person sitting between you and the aisle, you can say EXCUSE ME and make a motion to start standing up. The person sitting next to you will understand and stand up to let you get out of your seat.

Atividade 6

 

At the Airport - Interactive Practice

 

No laboratório de informática, acesse o link http://pt.talkenglish.com/LessonPractice.aspx?ALID=394 (acesso em 21.09.2014) e peça aos alunos para acompanharem  o diálogo que se passa em um aeroporto.

 

Depois de ouvir  o diálogo algumas vezes, peça para que os alunos participem do diálogo, clicando, primeiramente, no botão - Pessoa A. Assim, cada aluno irá ouvir somente a pessoa B falando no áudio. Haverá um silêncio para que o aluno repita as frases da Pessoa A. Em seguida, o aluno deverá fazer o mesmo, participando do diálogo como  Pessoa B.

 

A velocidade do diálogo é a utilizada por um nativo da língua inglesa. O aluno poderá pausar o listening, caso o intervalo entre cada frase seja muito rápido e ele não esteja conseguindo ouvir e acompanhar. Depois de praticar várias vezes,  cada aluno deverá falar tão rápido como um nativo.

 

Peça aos alunos que pratiquem o diálogo várias vezes, trocando os papeis de Pessoa A para Pessoa B. Ao final da atividade, forme duplas entre os alunos que deverão representar o diálogo para os demais colegas.

Listen All  |   Person A  |   Person B

A: "Welcome. May I have your tickets?" B: "Here you go." A: "Is anybody else traveling with you two?" B: "No. It's just us." A: "Do you have your passports with you?" B: "Yes. Here it is." A: "I'm going to ask you a series of questions. Please respond with a yes or a no." B: "Ok." A: "Did someone you do not know ask you to take something on the plane with you?" B: "No." A: "Did you have possession of your luggage since you packed?" B: "Yes." A: "Did you leave your luggage unattended at all in the airport?" B: "No." A: "Are you carrying any weapons or firearms?" B: "No." A: "Are you carrying any flammable material?" B: "No." A: "Do you have any perishable food items?" B: "No." A: "Great. Can you place your baggage over here?" B: "Sure." A: "Would you like an aisle or a window seat?" B: "Window seat please." A: "Ok. I am placing you two in 21A and 21B. The gate number is C2. It is on the bottom of the ticket. They will start boarding 20 minutes before the departure time. C2 is located around the corner through the hall. Thank you." B: "Can you point me to gate C2?" A: "Sure. It's that way. Around that corner." B: "Great. Thank you."

 

Atividade 7

 

Projete  para os alunos a seguinte conversa a qual  se passa em um aeroporto. A seguir, peça a eles que respondam às questões que se referem à compreensão do diálogo.

 

Faça a correção da atividade oralmente, revezando a participação dos alunos. Em seguida, escolha alguns alunos para representarem o diálogo, treinando, uma vez mais, a pronúncia das palavras e a entonação das expressões.
