Part One
Lee is speaking to a flight attendant on the way to Sydney.
Lee: Excuse me. I'm really thirsty. Can I get something to drink?
F.A.: Sure. What would you like?
Lee: Some mineral water will be fine, thanks.
F.A.: I'll be right back. Here you go.
Lee: Thank you. By the way, there's something wrong with my in-flight entertainment system. I can't hear anything.
F.A.: Let me get you another headset. If it still doesn't work, you can switch seats. There are some empty ones a few rows back.
Lee: That's great. Thank you very much.
F.A.: You're welcome.

Part Two
Lee has arrived at the airport in Sydney. He is looking for the immigration officers. He asks a young woman who just got off the same flight.
Lee: Excuse me. I don't see any immigration officers. Do you know where I should show my passport?
Woman: There's no need anymore. Just walk right through.
Lee: Really? Are you sure?
Woman: Yes. There's a new biometric system that uses facial I.D. It can recognize you.
Lee: OK. That saves me some time.
Woman: Are you here on vacation?
Lee: Yes. I'm going to Brisbane, to begin with.
Woman: So you need to transfer. We might be taking the same connecting flight. I live in Brisbane.
Lee: Cool! Maybe you can tell me about the city.

Part Three
Lee is taking a taxi from Brisbane airport. The taxi driver chats with him.
Lee: Hello. To the Rockford Hotel, please.
T.D.: OK. So what brings you to Brisbane?
Lee: I want to do some sightseeing.
T.D.: Great. Most tourists just go to Sydney, though. Have you been there?
Lee: I'm going there after a couple of days. But first I want to see Brisbane and Gold Coast.
T.D.: Well, if I were you, I'd also take a boat trip to see the Great Barrier Reef. It's a fantastic experience.
Lee: I might do that. Thanks for the tip.

李在寒假期間前往澳洲旅遊。
一、第一部分
在飛往雪梨途中,李和空服員交談。
李:抱歉。我好渴。我能喝點什麼嗎?
空服員:當然。您想喝什麼?
李:一些礦泉水就好,謝謝。
空服員:馬上就來。這是您要的水。
李:謝謝。對了,我的機上娛樂系統出了問題。我什麼都聽不到。
空服員:我給你換個耳機。如果還是不行,你可以換位子。後面幾排還有些空位。
李:太好了。非常感謝。
空服員:不客氣。
二、第二部分
李已經抵達雪梨機場。他正在尋找移民官。他詢問一名剛從同一班飛機下機的年輕女子。
李:請問一下。我沒看到移民官。妳知道我要到哪裡出示護照嗎?
女子:再也不用了。只要從右邊走過去就可以通關了。
李:真的?妳確定嗎?
女子:是啊。有一套新的生物臉部辨識系統。可以辨識你的身分。
李:真好。可以省下我一些時間。
女子:你是來這裡旅遊的嗎?
李:對啊。我首先要先去布里斯本。
女子:那你需要轉機。我們可能會搭到同一班轉乘的飛機。我就住在布里斯本。
李:太棒了!也許妳可以和我講講那座城市。
三、第三部分
李正搭乘計程車離開布里斯本機場。司機和他聊了起來。
李:你好。請到羅克弗德飯店。
計程車司機:好的。是什麼風把你吹來布里斯本的?
李:我想來觀光。
計程車司機:太好了。雖然大多數遊客只去雪梨。你去過那裡嗎?
李:過幾天我會去那裡。但首先,我想看看布里斯本和黃金海岸。
計程車司機:嗯,如果我是你,我還會搭船到大堡礁看看。那是一次很棒的體驗。
李:我可能會去。謝謝你的建議。
四、第四部分
李到達了飯店。
飯店人員:晚上好。您有預約嗎?
李:有。名字是李。我在線上預訂的。
飯店人員:我看看。是的,一間單人房,住三晚。請填寫並在這張表格上簽名。我可以看一下您的護照嗎?
李:在這裡。
飯店人員:謝謝您,李先生。您的房號是五一六。這是房卡。如果您需要客房服務或其它東西,電話撥零就可以和櫃台聯繫。
李:好的。非常感謝。
飯店人員:不客氣。祝您入住愉快。
