Carter:How limited?
Security:Three ounces or less. That's eighty-five grams in metric.
Carter:Any other restrictions on them?
Security:They have to fit comfortably in a quart-size, seal-top plastic bag, so the inspectors can look without touching. Please take your coat off and place it on the conveyor belt. Walk through the metal detector, please. Do you have any metal in your pockets, sir?
Carter:No, I put everything... Ah, wait! My belt buckle! Could that be it?
Security:Sometimes a belt buckle can set off the alarm. Remove your belt please, sir.

In the airport 1

Carter:Good morning. I'd like to check in, please.
Counter Attendant:Morning, Mr. Heart. All right, please put your check-in bags on the scale. This one is okay. This one is over weight and over size.
Carter:What's the size restriction?
Counter Attendant:Total dimensions for checked bags may not exceed 203 centimeters; length plus width plus height. Bags bigger are subject to a fee. Extra bags are subject to a fee, too. You're allowed two checked bags; for a third bag, there's a fee of US$50, up to nine bags. After that, the fee goes up to US$110 per extra bag.
Carter:You said one of the bags was over weight. What's the restriction on weight?
Counter Attendant:Bags up to 22.7 kilograms are free. For seven more kilos there is a US$25 charge per bag. For the next thirteen kilos, the fee is US$50 per bag.

Carter:What about bags over forty-five kilograms?
Counter Attendant:They are not allowed.
Carter:What else should I know before I go through security?
Counter Attendant:Shoes have to go through the X-ray machine, too. Remember to put your laptop, cell phone, and other electronic devices in a basket.
Carter:Camera, too?
Counter Attendant:Camera too, but not the film. The X-rays will expose the film, so pass that to the inspector to check by hand.
Carter:You are a wealth of information!
Counter Attendant:It's my job. Have a good flight, sir.

Topic 2-Describing a company

I'd like to welcome you all to Electrolux, and give you a brief introduction to the company.

As you know, Electrolux is a Swedish company with its head office here in Stockholm.

Now I expect when you hear the name ’Electrolux’ you probably think of a refrigerator or a fridge as we usually call it or maybe a vacuum cleaner, and in fact these were the company’s first two products.

Electrolux started as a company in 1921 when it produced the world’s first vacuum cleaner. Four years later, in 1925, it produced its first refrigerator, and these are still two of its best-known products.

Today it employs 81,971 people and sells it products in more than 150 countries.
Its worldwide turnover in 2002 was 14,552 million euros.

That’s all I’ll say about the company. I hope that gives you a general idea to start with. I’ll be happy to answer any questions. Thank you for your listening. ______________________________________
