Lesson 15 - In an Airport

Hello everyone!

Today is our last lesson of the spring semester 😢... but it’s a fun one!  Today’s lesson is titled, “In an Airport,” and it’s a useful lesson.  Everyone is dreaming of traveling overseas ✈, and when COVID-19 is over, we can all fly again!  YAY!!!  Let’s keep dreaming.  And let’s keep practicing English!  But today, your MKD tutors are gonna take you on a virtual trip.  Bon voyage!*

      * bon voyage is a loan word (外来語 gairaigo) from French, and it means "have a nice trip".    

       In English we also borrow the French word bon appetit ( 召し上がれ。meshiagare. ボンアペティ)  when serving a meal.

But before we start today’s lesson, we want you to practice asking and answering the following questions:

WARM-UP ACTIVITY - Travel Teamwork!

Directions: Find a partner.  Imagine you and your partner are traveling to the Philippines together 😃 Together, think of the 5 most important items you must bring to the Philippines.  Your partner (A さん) is asking you (B さん) if you remembered to bring various very important items.  Then B-san asks A-san, and so on.  The first question and answer is done for you.

useful expressions:

- Did you bring _____________? (__________  持ってきたか？ __________ motte kita ka?)

- Yes, I did. Here it is.   (はい、そうしました。 ここにあります。)
