✈️ Let’s Talk About Real-Life English – Airport & Booking Challenge! 🧳📞💬

Aug 5 • Writing

Hey everyone! 👋🏼

This week’s writing topic is all about airports and making reservations — two important and real-life situations where we all use English while traveling! 🌍✈️🏨

Whether you’re booking a flight or a hotel, checking in, or finding your gate — English is a key part of the experience.

This challenge helps you practice what to say, how to ask for help, and how to stay confident in real-life travel situations 💬✨

We’re putting you in two situations:

You’re at the airport
You’re making a reservation by phone

You’ll imagine how you speak, ask, answer, and deal with each step 🗣️

🧳 AIRPORT ENGLISH – Practice Situations:

– Asking for help or directions

– Talking to airline staff or security

– Checking in your bags

– Asking about gates and times

– Handling problems (like lost luggage or delays)

📞 BOOKING BY PHONE – Practice Situations:

– Calling a hotel to book a room

– Calling an airline to buy a ticket

– Asking about prices, availability, or services

– Making changes or cancellations

– Giving your information clearly and politely

🎯 Your mission:

Choose and answer as many questions as you like — in one paragraph or more.

Be creative, be real, and imagine yourself in the moment.

💭 Writing Prompts & Reflection Questions:

🛫 At the Airport:

Describe your first airport experience. Where were you going? Were you nervous?
What English phrases do you use at the check-in counter?
What would you say if you don’t know where your gate is?
Have you ever lost a bag or had a flight delay? How did you handle it?
How do you politely ask about boarding time or gate number?
Imagine you’re at passport control — how do you answer questions about your trip?
