After several weeks of vacations at LanguageLab our virtual holiday has come to an end.
Going on holiday with a qualified English teacher is a great way to improve your English! We spent time discussing our favorite destinations and practicing our negotiating skills at hotels, travel agencies, and car rental agencies. The next time we need to book a room we’ll know exactly what to say. The next time we want a cheap flight we’ll know which internet sites to use and the next time we hire a car we will know what an SUV is… and why we probably don’t need one.
At the airport we learned about permitted and prohibited items for taking on board in checked and carry on luggage. We also practiced filling out customs forms in English and then deplaning. We even spoke to a customs officer about that piece of French cheese in our bags. We were told that it was fine to take into the country but that we were right to declare anything that we weren’t sure about.
To finish off the course we had a mini graduation ceremony with music and diplomas. Now we are the proud owners of the LanguageLab holiday diploma. It’s been fun but a lot of hard work. I think I need a vacation!
