Welcome back to today's travel lesson.
We are talking about flight attendants.
Did you know that flight attendants get some information from the captain before
you get on the plane?
That's right.
And flight attendants will also greet you and say hello when you get on the
plane.
And then they have to help you find your seat as fast as possible.
And we'll find out a few other things in Conversation C.
So let's go there now.
Can you share an interesting experience with us?
Well, some passengers travel with their pets.
Right. The pet must be in a carrier.
And the pet must stay in its carrier during the flight.
But...?
One passenger's pet cat got out of its carrier.
And we had to try to catch it!
Being a flight attendant isn't easy.
No. But most of the time it's fun!
So now we know all the things that a flight attendant does.
Why don't we review them?
Flight attendants keep passengers comfortable.
And flight attendants talk about safety and they keep the passengers safe.
And they also get to meet with the captain.
So if you have a question about a flight, you can ask your flight attendant.
He or she probably knows the answer.
That's right.
But when you're a flight attendant, you get to meet a lot of different people.
That means flight attendants probably have a lot of different experiences.
Right.
Rob asks her to share an interesting experience.
If someone asks you to share an experience with them, that just means they want
you to tell them about your experience.
So, Jen the flight attendant shares an interesting experience.
She tells us a story about a passenger's cat that got out of its carrier.
Wow, I bet that was a crazy time on the plane.
The cat probably ran all around.
I bet it was scared.
Well, you're right, Nathan.
And that is definitely an interesting experience.
Jen probably had to run all around the plane and try and catch the cat.
I wonder how it got out of its carrier.
Oh. Friends, are you wondering what a carrier is?
Well, a carrier is something you keep your pets in when you travel.
That's right.
It's called a carrier because you carry it around and it holds your pet inside.
On the plane, pets must stay in its carrier during the flight.
Hey, I think that's a Use It sentence.
Let's learn about it together.
(Music).
Today we're studying the pattern:
Someone must stay somewhere during something.
For example: Everyone must stay in their seats during the concert.
Or... The children must stay in the classroom during lunch.
And now it's your turn to use it.
(Music).
So pets must stay in a carrier during the flight.
But make sure that you keep it closed.
Do you remember earlier this month when Sunny the bird got out of the cage?
Oh, I do.
Rob didn't close the cage.
Maybe this passenger didn't close the carrier and that's how the cat got out.
I think you're right.
But now we need to learn one more thing from Christina.
So let's go see her now.
(Chinese).
We've learned a lot today, everyone.
So now let's review our key words together.
Here's the first key word.

Well, I hope you practice all of your key words.
Now let's review today's conversations.
Flight attendants do more than serve passengers, don't they?
Oh, yes.
Our job starts hours before the passengers get on the plane.
What do you do?
Well, the flight attendants have a meeting with the captain.
He gives us information about the flight.
Things like the number of passengers?
Yes. We hear about the flight's route and get a weather report.
We also check the plane's supplies.
You make sure you have enough food and drinks?
Yes, and other things to make passengers comfortable.
We also check the safety equipment.
That's good.
Then we get the plane ready for passengers.
When they start to board, we greet them and help them find their seats.
And you try to get them in their seats as fast as possible?
Yes. Then the flight can leave on time.
Can you share an interesting experience with us?
Well, some passengers travel with their pets.
Right. The pet must be in a carrier.
And the pet must stay in its carrier during the flight.
But...?
One passenger's pet cat got out of its carrier.
And we had to try to catch it!
Being a flight attendant isn't easy.
No. But most of the time it's fun!
(Music).
Hello, Ginger.
Not now, Monkey Man. I'm reading my notes.
What notes?
The flight attendants had a meeting with the captain.
Oh. What did the captain say?
He gave us information about the flight.
Hmm, like what?
The number of passengers.
OK, what else?
The route and the weather report.
That's important.
Yes.
Now excuse me, I have to check food, drinks and safety equipment.
Well, flight attendants do a lot.
Yes, we do.
We also greet people when they board.
Hello. Hello.
Well, can a pet fly on planes?
Well, yes.
But they must stay in their carriers during the flight.
Uh, Ginger, you know... you're a pet, too.
Oh, no!
(Music).
Hello and welcome aboard.
May I see your boarding pass?
Hello, my name is Nancy, and I'm a flight attendant.
I keep people safe and comfortable on plane trips.
When people board the plane, I help them find their seats.
I help them find a place to put their bags, too.
Before the plane can leave, I tell everyone about safety.
I tell them about their seat belts.
I tell them to find exits near them.
Always listen to a flight attendant's safety talk.
It's very important.
Then, I check everyone.
Your seat belt should be fastened.
Your bag should be under the seat in front of you.
And your tray table should be up.
When the plane is in the air, I give people drinks, snacks and meals.
I want everyone to enjoy their flight.
When we land, I help everyone get off the plane.
Don't forget your bags.
I'm a flight attendant.
And this is my job.
So now you all know about being a flight attendant.
It's not an easy job.
No, it's not.
You have to work really hard if you are a flight attendant.
You have to think about the passengers' safety.
And you have to keep the passengers comfortable.
But there are good things about being a flight attendant, too.
Yes. You get to meet so many different kinds of people.
That would be very interesting.
And you can travel to wonderful places all around the world.
That would be a pretty cool job.
Well, that's all the time we have for today.
We'll see you next time right here on...
Let's Talk in English.
Bye-bye.
