Travelling abroad is not only visiting tourist attractions. It is also a good chance to meet people.
- Listen to some conversations and decide where the tourists are. (listening for the main idea)

- ask to explain the meaning of the unknown word;
- ask to say something again.
— Anything to declare?
— I’m sorry, what was that you said?
— Have you got anything to declare? Oh, no, I haven’t.
— I’d like a ticket to York, please.
— Single or return?
— Sorry. Could you tell me what “single” means?
— Well, a “single” is a one-way ticket. If you’re coming back today, you can buy a return ticket. It will save your money.
— Oh, I see. Single, please.
— Excuse me, is this the bus to the zoo?
— You should take a T-3. It will stop in front of the zoo.
