ESL 作文、话题及阅读专项训练Airport InformationPart I: Listen and Read: Read along with the audio recording.The airport is your first stop before leaving on our dream vacation or trip. Generally speaking, you should arrive at the airport with plenty of time to spare. Dont arrive 10 minutes before your plane departs. You can park your car in long-term parking if you are planning to be away for a few days, or you can ask someone to drop you off in the loading zone right in front of the airport terminal. In some cases, you can check your bags there at curbside, or you might have to go to the check-in counter inside the airport. Many airports now allow you to check in at a computer kiosk, but you will still need to check your bags if you have any. Once you are checked in, you will have to pass through security where they will check your ID and your carry-on bags. You will also need to walk through a metal detector, which will check for illegal items. After you pass through security, you can walk to the gate where you can wait to board your flight. Just wait until they call your section to board. They usually seat first-class passengers and those who need assistance first. Enjoy your flight.

Apartment:Renting a Place of Your OwnPart I: Listen and Read: Read along with the audio recording.Last month, I decided to move out of my parents place and start living on my own. I searched in the newspaper for apartment listings and found a place not too far from my work. The landlord showed me around the apartment, and because it suited my needs, I signed the rental agreement and paid a deposit, some of which I might get back when I move out. The apartment has two bedrooms, one bathroom, a living room, and kitchen. It also has a small utility room where I keep my washer and dryer. Right before I moved in, the landlord put in new carpet and had the walls painted, so it looks like a new place. The rent is $650 a month, not including utilities. I pay about $100 for gas, electricity, water, sewage, and Internet service. Unfortunately, the apartment complex doesnt allow pets, so my dog has to stay with my parents for now. I might get a roommate at some point to share expenses, but I havent decided on that yet. The place looks a little empty because it isnt furnished, but for the time being, I only have the basics: a bed, a table, a small sofa in the living room, and a TV. Its not as livable and cozy as my parents place, but it will have to do for now. Part II: Vocabulary ExerciseNow, review the bold vocabulary above by trying this quiz.
