第三個禮拜，機場劃位報到後的等待登機時間
At the Airport!
Julia, Jessie and Riana checked in their entire luggage in part 2, and now all that’s left to do is wait for their boarding time!
Inside the terminal, we can eat, shop or just wait!
Julia: We have an hour before its boarding time, what do you want to do? Are you hungry?
Riana: Not really. We’ll get fed on the plane anyway. Let’s do some serious shopping!
Jessie: Alright, that sounds good. But don’t bite off more than you can chew; the lady told us that we can’t carry any liquids onto the plane – not even duty-free.
Riana: True… we’ll have to make do without all those cheap perfumes and cosmetics then.
Julia: It’s ok. If you buy something small, like less than 100mL, then it can go into your plastic bag.
Jessie: That’s if you have any room left in the bag!^^
Julia: Less talk and more action already! An hour is too short for shopping.
Riana: Let’s go. I want to get some lip-gloss because my lips always get chapped from flying.
The girls wander through the duty-free shops, looking at various souvenirs, gifts, clothes, cosmetics and food. Riana buys some lip-gloss, Julia gets some chocolates and Jessie buys a teddy-bear.
Jessie: (looking at her watch) Girls! It’s time to head over to our gate. Do you have your passports and tickets ready?
A sign showing the way to our gate
- Get fed: someone prepares a meal for you to eat.
Eg: If you’re hungry, let’s go over to Ian’s house. We’ll get fed by his Mom there!
- Bite off more than one can chew: To try to do or eat more than you can manage
Eg: Vivian bit off more than she could chew when she started those evening classes.Now she has no time to do anything else!
- Make do without: to manage without something.
Eg: I’m just not making enough money this month, so I’ll have to make do without buying new clothes.
