Leticia: You must be excited. When's your flight?
Paula: Tomorrow. At 9 a.m. Listen, Leticia, I need your help. Leticia: OK. What's up?
Paula: Well, as you know, I'm going on vacation for two weeks. Do you think you could water my
plants while I'm away? Leticia: Sure. No problem.
Paula: Great. They need water twice a week. There's one plant in the bedroom and one in the kitchen. Leticia: OK--say, how about your dog? Should I feed her, too? Paula: No, that's OK. I’m putting her in a kennel.
Leticia: All right, then, I'll water your plants---and---oh, how about the mail? Should I pick it up for
you?
Paula: Actually, I've already asked the mailman to stop mail delivery. Thanks for asking, though. Leticia: Well, have a great trip!
Paula: Thanks, Leticia. I really appreciate your help.
Leticia: My pleasure. Wait a second. I don t have any keys to your place. Paula: Oh, that's right. Will you be home around 8 tonight? Leticia: Yeah, I think so.
Paula: OK, I’ll drop by—I’ll give you the keys then.

J: I love to fly! You might say I’m an airplane freak! W: That’s interesting. Where did you go?
J: I visited Korea, Tailand, Singapore and the Philippines. W: Sounds like you were busy.
J: I was. I only had only four hours in so. So I have to finish my shopping very quickly. Sometimes I had to run between connecting flights.
W: Wait a minute. What about your baggage? Didn’t you have to wait for it?
J: No, I didn’t have much, only one carry-on bag, it just fits the overhead compartment. W: So let me get this straight. You spent your weekend in an airplane flying around? J: Basically yes. I fly standby. W: Standby?
J: Yes, as a standby passenger. I don’t have a reservation. At the last minute, they let me know if there’s a seat available. They give me a boarding pass and I get on. W: All these flying must be expensive.
J: Well, I’m an airline employee. I’m a sales representative for Twin Star Airlines. So I know most of the flight attendants and I can almost fly for free. W: Lucky you!

Track 3-1-8；3-1-9 Tips for better packing
Are you planning to travel for a weekend or several months around the country or overseas? Here are some tips to help you pack your bags.
1. Pre-trip planning. Make a packing list to help you remember everything. Reveal it about a week
before your trip. Plan a time to go shopping for things you need for your trip. Don’t pack the night before you travel. You’ll forget things when you’re in a hurry.
2. Tagging luggage. Before packing, put names tags on valuable items like cameras and cellphones.
Make sure that each piece of luggage, including carry-on has a luggage tag on it. If you know your hotel’s address and phone numbers, put it on your luggage tags.
3. Saving space. Pack small items: socks, belts and etc inside your shoes. It uses the empty space and
helps the shoes to hold their shape. Pack your clothes in plastic bags. If you’re traveling with a friend, plan your packing together, share your alarm clock, toothpaste or first aid kit.
4. Your carry-on bag. The most important items for your trip: passport, plane tickets, traveler’s
checks, credit cards keys and etc should go in your carry-on bag. Always keep them with you. Keep your carry-on bag small and light. Put those the heavy items in your checking luggage. Use soft bags such as backpacks or shoulder bags for carry-ons. They fit easily under the airplane seat or into the small overhead compartment.
5. Other ideas. Bring an empty bag for souvenirs from the trip. Remember to pack a few rub of
bans, safety pins and plastic bags, they can be very useful. Bring some snacks such as nuts, cookies or dried fruit, you can eat them if you don’t have enough time for a meal. Sharing food is a good way to made other travelers.

Video track 3-1-2
Julianna: The funniest story of my traveling experience was when I came to the U.S. for the first time by myself. They lost my luggage and I didn't speak a word of English. I had to use my hands to explain myself. People understood what I meant and they helped me out.
Catherine: My recent trip to Africa was one of the most amazing trips of my life, This was my second trip to Tanzania, Africa. We visited a lot of villages, some very remote that we had to travel by helicopter. In Tanzania, it's very different from America so there are no maps. So, even traveling in a helicopter, we didn't really know where we were going to go. We didn't really know the village names, so we just kind of had no destination and we got in the helicopter and just flew around. And if we saw some animals or some rooftops of hut houses, we said, \ Dennis: I have a lot of funny experiences on the airline as a flight attendant. But one of the funniest I could recall was, there was this passenger who had a toupee and one of my flight attendants was serving---l think---she was serving food---and she had this tray. And suddenly turbulence happened, and she lost her balance---and her hand landed on the guy's head, who had a
toupee. When she caught her balance again, the toupee kind of shifted, so his sideburns were on his forehead. And I had to control my laughter because you're not allowed to laugh—
