Exercise 1. Study the useful vocabulary to use in an airport.

AIRPORT

This is place you go to catch your plane. These days, airports are like little cities with thousands of people running around pretending to do things.

Some airports are so big that they have different sections, otherwise known as terminal. This adds stress to your journey as you have to make sure you arrive at the correct terminal. And if you go to an airport like Heathrow, you really are in trouble if you go to the wrong one: it can take an hour to go from one terminal to another.

BAGGAGE (luggage)

This is a general word to refer to all the bags that you take with you. Sophisticated travellers use expensive and strong Louis Vuitton bags; and cheaper more economical travellers prefer the rucksack. However, in the end it doesn’t matter what you use: all baggage is taken to Brussels... and left there.

HAND LUGGAGE (a carry-on bag)

This is a general word that refers to the little bag that you take with you on the plane. It is not supposed to exceed a certain size or weight. Carry-on bags are often full of useful travelling accessories such as ear plugs, Disc men, i-pods, DVD players, duty-free bags and all the newspapers and magazines you’ve brought along with you.
