complete beginner or at an A1 level,
it's a perfect opportunity for your
English listening and speaking practice.

conversations that are great for your
English fluency.
Of course, feel free to pause the audio

conversations.
Part one, ordering at a coffee shop and
having small talks with a friend.
Hi there. What can I get for you today?
Hi, I'd like um a medium latte, please.
Sure thing. Whole milk or would you like
oat or almond milk?
Oat milk, please.
And could I get that with less sugar?
Absolutely. So, that's a medium oat milk
latte with less sugar.
Wait, did you say medium or large? I'm
sorry, it's a bit loud in here.
No problem. I said medium. Would you
like me to make it large instead?
No, medium is perfect. Thank you.
Great. And will that be for here or to go?
go?
For here, please.
Got it. Your latte will be ready at the
end of the counter. Name for the order. Jessica.
Jessica.
Thanks, Jessica. We'll call you when
it's ready.
Sarah. Oh my. Hi,
Jessica. It's been so long. How are you?
I'm good. Just grabbing coffee. What
about you?
Same here. I haven't seen you since the
library study session,
right? That was months ago. Hey, do you
want to sit together?
Sure. Let me just order first.
Hi. What can I get started for you?
H I'll take a small cappuccino, please.
Whole milk or oat?
Whole milk. Thanks.
Look at that chocolate cake they got. It
looks so good.
Oh, wow. You're right. I shouldn't, but
maybe just a bite.
You know what? Let's grab a dessert
each. It's on me.
No, you don't have to.
Come on. It's been months since we met.
My treat. Excuse me?
Yes. Need anything else?
Yes. What desserts do you have today?
We've got chocolate cake, lemon tart,
and caramel cheesecake.
H What do you recommend?
The lemon tart's my favorite. It's not
too sweet.
Perfect. I'll take a lemon tart, please.
And Sarah, you want that chocolate cake?
Yes, please. Oh, and could I get whipped
cream on mine? Sure thing. So, that's
one lemon tart and one chocolate cake
with whipped cream.
That's right. Thanks.
Excuse me. Could we get the bill, please?
please?
Of course. Together or separate? Together.
Together.
Would you like to add a tip today?
Sure. Let's do 10%.
Great. I'll be right back with your receipt.
receipt.
All set. Thanks so much.
Thank you. Everything was delicious.
Yeah, that chocolate cake was amazing.
So glad you liked it. Have a wonderful day.
day.
You too.
This was so fun. We have to meet up
again soon.
Definitely. Maybe next time. You're buying.
buying. Deal.
Deal.
Part two. Talking about your day.
So, Emily, how does your day usually go?
Well, my mornings are usually quite
structured, actually. I'm a bit of a
morning person, so I tend to wake up
pretty early, around 6:30 a.m. most weekdays.
weekdays.
Wow, that's quite an early start.
The very first thing I always do is make
myself a cup of herbal tea. I love
starting my day quietly.
While the tea is steeping, I usually
spend about 10 minutes doing some light
stretching just to get my body ready for
the day.
That sounds like a really calm way to begin.
begin.
It really helps.
After that, I often sit down by the
window with my journal. I try to write
in it for about 15 minutes just to
organize my thoughts and set a positive
intention for the day. It helps me feel
centered before the busyiness starts.
Then around 7:30 a.m., it's time for
Bella's morning walk. Bella is my dog,
remember? We usually head to the local
park, which is just a short walk from my
apartment. It's almost always a lovely
time because the park isn't too crowded
yet, and it's nice to get some fresh air.
air.
Do you ever run into anyone during your walks?
walks?
Sometimes, it's not every day, but
occasionally I'll bump into other dog
walkers or a neighbor. We just exchange
a quick good morning or a short chat.
It's a nice little connection before I
head back home to start my workday.
Sounds pretty ideal.
Yes, that's how my typical morning
usually unfolds. After getting back home
and making myself a quick light lunch, I
usually have a big salad or some
leftovers. I then transition into my
work block. Around noon, I always sit
down at my desk and start tackling my
emails and main tasks for the day. I
often have at least one or two video
calls in the early afternoon, usually
with our team or with clients. These
calls can sometimes last for an hour or
even an hour and a half, so they take up
a good chunk of my time. They're great
for collaboration, but they do require a
lot of focus.
I know that feeling. It's easy to get
absorbed in calls and forget to move.
Absolutely. So, I try to build in a
short break around 300 p.m. I'll step
away from my desk, maybe stretch a bit
more or grab another cup of tea. If the
weather's nice, I might even step out
onto my balcony for a few minutes just
to get some fresh air. It helps to clear
my head.
That's smart. It's important to break up
the workday.
It really is.
After that short break, I usually spend
the rest of my afternoon on specific
projects, doing research, or anything
else. I try to finish up my main work
tasks by about 5:30 p.m.
So, your afternoons are pretty dedicated
to work.
Having that dedicated time for focused
work in the afternoon really helps me
get through my tasks efficiently. That's
how my typical afternoon usually goes.
So, your afternoons are really
productive, Emily.
After finishing up work, how does your
typical evening usually unwind?
Well, after closing my laptop and
stretching, which always feels great
after a focused afternoon, my evening
routine usually begins with getting some
fresh air. I often go for a short walk
around my neighborhood just to
disconnect from work and clear my head.
After that, I typically spend some time
preparing dinner. I love to cook, so
this is a relaxing part of my day. I
usually try to make something healthy
but delicious, like a simple pasta or a
stir fry with lots of vegetables.
It's mostly relaxed during the week.
After dinner and cleaning up, which is
the part I definitely don't enjoy as
much, I almost always curl up on the
sofa with a book. I'm a big reader, so
reading is a huge part of my evening
routine. Sometimes it's a novel,
sometimes it's a non-fiction book.
You don't watch TV?
I rarely watch much TV during the week,
mostly just reading.
Then around 9:30 p.m., Bella and I go
for her last short walk of the day. It's
usually very quiet and peaceful outside
at that time.
After that, I just get ready for bed,
maybe read for another few minutes if
I'm really into my book, and then I
usually call it a night by around 10:30
p.m. So, that's how my typical day
usually flows from early morning to late evening.
evening.
Wow, that's a really consistent and
balanced routine you've got there.
Now, I'm curious about your side of
things. How does your day usually start?
What's your typical morning like?
My mornings are a bit different from
yours, perhaps a little less structured,
especially the very start. I usually
wake up a bit later than you around 7:30
a.m. on weekdays.
I'm definitely not a morning person like you.
you.
I totally get that. So, what's the first
thing on your agenda? Do you jump
straight out of bed?
Not always. My first step is always to
make myself a strong cup of coffee. I
can't really function before that first
mug. While it's brewing, I'll often
check my phone for any urgent messages
or news headlines, but I try not to get
too lost in it.
So, coffee first, then a quick check-in
with the world.
That's right. After that, I usually have
a quick light breakfast. Sometimes it's
just some toast. sometimes yogurt with
fruit. Nothing too fancy, but enough to
give me energy.
I almost always try to fit in some exercise.
exercise.
After breakfast, I typically go for a
run, or if the weather's bad, I'll do a
quick workout at home.
That's a non-negotiable part of my
morning, even if I'm feeling a bit
tired. It helps me wake up properly and
get ready for the day.
After my workout, I take a quick shower
and then I'm usually ready to start my workday.
workday.
So, that's how my typical morning
usually goes. Coffee, a quick bite,
exercise, and then getting ready for work.
work.
What do you usually get up to after
those morning routines?
Well, after getting ready, I usually sit
down at my desk around 9:30 a.m. and
dive into my work for the day.
My afternoons are often focused on
specific tasks like editing audio or
working on new ideas for our projects.
I typically have one or two virtual
meetings in the afternoon to discuss
upcoming projects.
These can sometimes take up a good hour
or so.
After those meetings, I usually try to
take a short break, maybe around 200
p.m. I'll step away from my screen,
stretch my legs, and grab another drink.
Usually just water or some sparkling
water to stay hydrated.
That's a good habit to keep your energy up.
up.
It really helps. Sometimes if I'm
feeling a bit tired, I might even listen
to a short podcast episode, not for
work, just for myself, to reset my brain.
brain.
After that short break, I usually spend
the rest of my afternoon on more
independent tasks, like researching
topics or writing outlines.
That's often how it goes.
I try to finish up my main work around
5:00 p.m. Giving myself a little buffer
before the evening officially begins.
How does your typical evening usually
unwind after you finish up?
Well, once I finish work around 5:00
p.m., the first thing I usually do is
step away from my desk completely.
I might go for another short walk just
around my neighborhood to get some fresh
air and clear my head before dinner.
That's a good way to transition out of
work mode.
It is. Then I often prepare dinner. I
enjoy cooking, but I'm usually pretty
quick about it during the week.
Something simple like a stir fry or a
quick pasta dish.
After dinner and cleaning up, which I
always try to do immediately,
my evenings are usually quite relaxed.
I often spend some time reading a book
or sometimes I'll watch a documentary or
a movie.
It just depends on what I'm in the mood
for. On a typical weekday evening, it's
about relaxing.
I might occasionally meet up with
friends for a quick coffee if they're
free, but that's not every night. Most
evenings, it's just quiet time.
I usually aim to be in bed by around
10:30 p.m. or 11 p.m. I read for a bit
and then I usually call it a night. So
that's how my typical evening unfolds.
It's usually quite calm, especially
after those busy work days.
Part three, talking about your favorite food.
food.
So Liam, what's your favorite food? Oh,
without a doubt. My favorite food is
pizza. I am completely obsessed with it.
I could eat it almost every day and
never get tired of it.
I can definitely confirm Liam's
obsession with pizza. You really do love
it. What kind of pizza are we talking about?
about?
Any kind, honestly. But if I have to
pick, I usually go for a classic simple margarita.
margarita.
I just love the combination of the
cheesy goodness, the warm bread, and the
tomato sauce. It's just perfect comfort
food for me.
I can totally understand the love for
pizza. It's a classic. For me, though,
my favorite food is seafood. I just
absolutely love it.
Oh, interesting.
What kind of seafood are we talking
about? Like fish or something else? I
love all kinds actually, but if I had to
choose, I'd say fish, like fresh grilled
fish or maybe some delicious shrimp. I
just love the fresh taste of the ocean
and it feels light and healthy. I also
really enjoy going to a restaurant by
the sea and having a big seafood platter.
platter.
That sounds amazing.
How often do you eat your favorite food?
Well, first, could you quickly explain
what we mean by how often for our listeners?
listeners?
Oh, great question, Liam. How often just
means how many times you do something.
So, it could be once a week, twice a
month, or maybe even every day.
Thanks for clarifying.
So, for me with pizza,
well, I'd say I eat it maybe once or
twice a week. There's this fantastic
pizza place really close to where I work
and I just love ordering from there when
it's my lunch break. But sometimes if
I'm with co-workers, we'll order
something else to share, you know, to
mix it up.
So, it's a regular treat for you during
the week.
Definitely. So, how often do you eat seafood?
seafood?
Well, surprisingly, not that often,
actually. Even though I love it, I'd say
I eat it maybe once every 2 weeks or
sometimes even less.
Oh, really? Why is that?
I guess it's because, well, fresh
seafood can be a bit more expensive.
And sometimes the preparation takes a
little more time than just throwing a
pizza in the oven.
I usually save it for a special dinner
or when I go out to a nice restaurant.
It makes it feel like more of a treat
when I do have it, you know?
That makes sense. So, even for your
favorite food, it's not an everyday thing.
thing.
Exactly. It's about enjoying it when I do.
do.
Okay. We've talked about our favorites.
Now, let's talk about the opposite.
Emily, what's your least favorite food?
Is there anything you really don't enjoy eating?
eating?
Oh, that's an easy one for me. My least
favorite food is definitely green peas.
I just I don't like the texture and the
taste isn't my favorite either. I always
try to avoid them if I can.
Green peas, huh? That's interesting. For
me, my least favorite food would have to
be green beans. I have the same issue,
actually. The texture just isn't for me,
and they always taste a little
grassy. I don't know how to describe it.
Grassy. That's a good way to put it. So,
it seems like we both have a slight
dislike to green things.
And you know what's funny, Emily? Our
favorite foods are seafood and pizza,
and our least favorite foods are both vegetables.
vegetables.
What does that say about us?
I don't know, but it's definitely a
funny coincidence.
Maybe we just need more practice eating
our veggies.
Right. So, Emily, what do you usually
eat in a week?
Well, for us, my family and I absolutely
love pasta. All kinds, especially
spaghetti. So, whenever we run out of
ideas for dinner, we just grab a pasta
pack from the cupboard and cook it. We
usually make it with some simple tomato
sauce, and if we have some cheese, we'll
add that, too. It's easy and everyone
loves it.
Pasta is a great go-to. It's quick and delicious.
delicious.
Exactly. On other days, we'll just cook
anything really. Sometimes it's chicken
with rice and vegetables. Other times,
maybe some fish with potatoes. We try to
mix it up, but pasta is definitely irregular.
irregular.
That sounds like a good balance. For me,
since I live alone, my week looks a bit different.
different.
I usually order a lot of my meals, so I
often get things like burgers, nuggets,
or maybe a quick pizza. You know, my
love for pizza.
Yes, we know. So, a lot of takeout.
Yeah, quite a bit.
It's easy and fast when I'm busy. But
then sometimes I feel like I need a
change. I just like to cook sometimes
and feel like I need something healthy.
So, I'll cook a simple meal for myself,
like a big salad with chicken or some
grilled fish with vegetables.
It balances out the takeout meals, you know.
know.
That's actually smart. So, would you say
you know how to cook?
Well, I definitely know how to cook.
Yes, I've gotten quite used to it, and
I've kind of gotten better since I
started living alone.
When you don't have anyone else to cook
for you, you learn quickly.
That's true. Necessity is the mother of
invention, as they say. So, you've
gained confidence in the kitchen.
Absolutely. I can make a good number of
dishes now. Nothing too fancy, but
enough to feed myself well.
What about you, Emily? Are you a fan of cooking?
cooking?
I actually love cooking. For me, it's
really relaxing and very satisfying to
try new things and experiment with recipes.
recipes.
I totally get that feeling. It's rewarding.
rewarding.
It really is. But I have to admit,
sometimes disasters may happen, you
know? Like I'll try a new recipe and it
just doesn't turn out right at all.
Maybe too much salt or something burns.
Oh, I've had those days, too. But that's
okay because we learn, right? You try
again or you find a new recipe.
So, yes, I love cooking, even with the
occasional kitchen adventure.
We've talked about a lot of things
concerning food, but I just realized we
forgot to talk about something very important.
important.
Snacks. Do you love snacks, Liam?
Oh, I love snacks. How could we forget
to talk about them?
I know, right? Are you more of a sweet
person or a salty person?
Definitely sweets. I'm a big fan of
anything sweet.
I can imagine. What kind of sweets are
your favorite for snacking?
Well, I especially love sweet and sour
candies. You know, the ones that are
both sugary and a little bit sour. I
just love that combination.
Chocolate is great, too, of course, but
those candies are my go-to.
Sweet and sour. That's interesting. I'm
completely the opposite, actually. I
absolutely love salty snacks. Give me a
bag of potato chips, any flavor really,
or some salty crackers, and I'm happy.
So, no chocolate or cookies for you usually.
usually.
Not usually. If I have a choice between
sweet and salty, I always go for the
salty option. So, when do you usually
take your snacks, Liam? Do you have a
specific time?
H for me, it's usually when I'm really
absorbed in work. If I'm focused on a
task for a long time, I like having a
small bag of candy right there with me
to munch on. It just helps keep my
energy up, you know.
That's exactly the same for me. When I'm
really focused and working, I love
having a salty snack nearby.
It's like a little reward for my brain
while I'm concentrating. It just feels
good to have something to nibble on.
So, Liam, did you go anywhere for your
vacation recently?
Yes, Emily, I actually did. I had a
lovely trip a few months ago.
Oh, that's great to hear. Where did you
go? Tell me all about it.
I went to a small town by the sea, not
too far from here. It was a very
peaceful place, perfect for relaxing.
I spent about 5 days there.
A town by the sea sounds wonderful. That
sounds like a nice change of scenery. It
really was. How about you? Did you go
anywhere for your vacation recently?
Yes, I did. My family and I went to
visit some relatives in the countryside.
It was a beautiful area, very green with
lots of trees and fields. We were there
for about a week.
Oh, the countryside. That sounds like a
nice break.
Absolutely. It was a very nice trip. So,
you said you went to a small town by the
sea for your vacation.
What did you do there? Were there any
specific activities you enjoyed?
Well, it was mostly about relaxing,
actually. I spent a lot of my time just
walking along the beach in the mornings.
The air was really fresh, and it was so
peaceful to hear the waves. I also read
a lot of books. I brought about three
with me and I finished them all.
That sounds truly refreshing.
Sometimes that's exactly what a vacation
needs to be, just to relax and read. Did
you try any of the local food there?
Oh, definitely. I tried some of the
local seafood restaurants and they were
absolutely delicious. The fresh fish was amazing.
amazing.
I also explored the town a bit, just
wandering through the small streets and
looking at the little shops.
It was nice to just slow down and not
have a strict schedule.
That sounds wonderful. A perfect mix of
relaxation and a little bit of exploration.
exploration.
It really was. How about you, Emily? You
mentioned you went to the countryside
with your family. What did you do with
your family there?
Well, we spent a lot of time just
catching up, talking, and playing board
games in the evenings. It was nice to
just be together without the usual busy
schedule. During the day, we often went
for long walks in the nearby forests.
The kids absolutely loved exploring and
looking for different kinds of birds.
That sounds like lovely family time.
very connected to nature.
It was. We also had a big barbecue one
evening which was really fun. Everyone
helped prepare the food and we ate
outside under the stars. It was a very
memorable night. So, mostly relaxing,
spending quality time with family and
enjoying the outdoors.
A barbecue in the countryside sounds
like a perfect way to enjoy the evening.
It's great you had such a nice time.
By the way, what was the weather like
during your vacation? Was it sunny or
did you have some rain?
Oh, I was really lucky. The weather was
mostly sunny and warm. Actually, we had
clear skies for almost the whole 5 days.
There was one afternoon when it got a
little cloudy, but it didn't rain.
It was perfect for walking on the beach
and just being outside.
That sounds ideal for a seaside trip.
Perfect weather always makes a big
difference for a vacation, doesn't it?
It absolutely does. It meant I could
spend a lot of time outdoors, which was
exactly what I wanted. How about you and
your family in the countryside?
What was the weather like for your trip?
Well, we had a bit of a mix actually.
The first few days were quite sunny and
pleasant, perfect for our long walks in
the forest.
But then for about 2 days at the middle
of our trip, it was a bit rainy and cool.
cool.
Oh, really? Did that ruin your plans at all?
all?
Not really. We just adapted. Those were
the days we spent more time indoors
playing board games and talking, which
was also really nice. And then for the
last couple of days, the sun came back
out. So, it ended on a bright note. It
was nice to experience both sunny and
cozy rainy days. Actually,
that's a great way to look at it. You
managed to make the most of whatever
weather came your way.
What's your favorite memory from that
trip to the seaside?
H I think the absolute best part for me
was the long walks on the beach every morning.
morning.
It was so quiet and peaceful at that
time of day and the air was just so fresh.
fresh.
I really enjoyed that feeling of calm
and starting the day slowly.
That sounds truly beautiful. It's those
simple moments that often become the
most memorable, isn't it?
Exactly. It really helped me clear my
head and just relax. It's something I
don't get to do often in my usual busy
life. How about you? What was the best
part of your vacation?
For me, the best part was definitely the
big barbecue we had one evening.
Everyone in the family was there
laughing, telling stories, and enjoying
delicious food outside under the stars.
The kids were running around, and it
just felt so warm and connected.
Oh, that sounds so lovely. Those shared
moments with family are truly special.
They really are. It was just a feeling
of pure happiness and togetherness.
When you said your town by the sea was
peaceful, it made me wonder,
was it not crowded when you were there?
Because I remember you saying before
that you don't really like crowded
places. Thankfully, the crowd was not
crowded at all. That was actually one of
the reasons I chose that specific time
to go.
It was just before the really busy
summer season, so there were only a few
other people on the beach or in the town.
town.
Oh, that sounds absolutely perfect. I
completely agree with you. I also prefer
calm and peaceful places for a vacation.
When a place is too crowded, it just
feels stressful and it's hard to truly relax.
relax.
Exactly. I love being able to walk and
explore without constantly bumping into
people or waiting in long lines.
For me, a vacation is about finding
quiet moments and enjoying the
atmosphere, not battling crowds.
That's exactly how I feel. Even in the
countryside, sometimes if we went to a
very popular spot, it could get a little
busy, and I'd prefer the quieter trails.
So, yes, we both definitely prefer
places that are not crowded.
It's much more refreshing, isn't it? To
really feel like you've escaped the
noise and the rush of everyday life.
Absolutely. Peace and quiet make a huge
difference for me on a trip.
Would you go back to that small town by
the sea?
I actually think
yes, I would definitely go back there. I
really loved how peaceful it was and the
seafood was just incredible.
It felt like a perfect escape.
Maybe not next year because I like to
try new places, but in a few years I
would love to visit again.
That's great. It's nice to have a place
you know you can return to for relaxation.
relaxation.
Right. It's now one of my favorite calm
spots. How about you? Would you go back
to the countryside again?
Yes, I would absolutely go back. It's
become a favorite spot for my family and
me, especially since our relatives live there.
there.
It's not just about the beautiful
nature, but also about the comfort of
being with family without any pressure.
That sense of family connection really
adds to the trip, doesn't it?
It does. Plus, there are still some
walking trails we didn't explore.
Is there any place you would like to
visit next for a vacation? Somewhere
you've always dreamed of? Or maybe a new
place on your list?
There are so many places,
but if I had to pick just one right now,
I think I'd really love to visit Japan.
Japan? Wow, that's a fantastic choice.
What makes you want to go there?
Well, I'm really interested in the
culture, the old traditions, but also
the very modern cities and the food, of
course. I've heard so much about the
food in Japan.
I'd love to try all the different kinds
of dishes.
Plus, the nature there, like the cherry
blossoms in spring, looks absolutely
beautiful in pictures.
It sounds like you've put a lot of
thought into it. Japan is on many
people's dream lists.
It definitely is. It would be a very
different kind of trip from my calm
seaside vacation.
How about you, Emily? Is there any place
you would like to visit next?
For me, I'm really hoping to visit
Canada next, especially the mountains
and lakes there, like in B National
Park. Oh, Canada is beautiful,
especially that part. What draws you to Canada?
Canada?
I just love nature and the pictures I've
seen of the Canadian mountains are just breathtaking.
breathtaking.
I imagine hiking, seeing wildlife, and
maybe even staying in a cozy cabin by a
lake. It would be a completely different
experience from my countryside family
trips. more about adventure and seeing
amazing natural landscapes.
That sounds like an incredible adventure.
adventure.
Part five at the airport.
Need to find British Airways check-in.
Excuse me, I'm a bit lost. Could you
tell me where the check-in counters for
British Airways are, please?
British Airways, ma'am. Go straight down
this main hall past the food court on
your left. You'll see signs for terminal
3 and their check-in desks are usually
in zone C.
Oh, thank you so much. Zone C. Got it.
That's very helpful. Thanks.

window.

get past you?
Oh, certainly. There you go. Thanks.

helpful.
My pleasure. Enjoy your flight to
London. Thanks. All right, settled.
London, here I come. Excuse me. Are you
headed to London, too?
Yes, I am. This is my first time
visiting, actually.
Oh, that's exciting. This your first
time traveling there alone?
It is. I'm really excited, but to be
honest, I'm also a bit stressed and
anxious since everything is so new to me.
me.
Oh, I completely understand that
feeling. London's a big city, but don't
you worry, it's very easy to get around.
Most places have great public transport,
and people are generally very helpful. I
hope so. I've tried to plan a bit, but
there's just so much to see and do.
Don't put too much pressure on yourself.
My best advice is to just go with the
flow like you would at home. If you're
unsure about directions, just ask
someone. People are usually happy to
help tourists, and your phone will be
your best friend. Use maps, search for
places, check opening times. Everything
is literally at your fingertips. That's
really good to hear. I guess I'm just
overthinking it.
Most people overthink their first time.
Just enjoy the experience. London is
wonderful. You'll love it.
Thank you. That makes me feel much
better. I appreciate it.
No problem at all. Just relax now and
enjoy the flight.
I will. Thank you for flying with us.
Please collect all your personal
belongings. The local time in London is
now 2 p.m. Please proceed to baggage
claim and then to customs. Have a
pleasant stay. Okay, baggage claim.
Let's follow the signs. Baggage reclaim.
Oh, that's the one. Flight BA286. BA286.
BA286.
Ah, carousel 7. There it is. My blue suitcase.
suitcase.
Next, please.
Good afternoon.
Good afternoon. Passport, please. Here
you are.
What is the purpose of your visit to the
UK? Business or pleasure?
Pleasure. I'm here for a vacation. I'll
be staying for 2 weeks.
And do you have anything to declare? Any
goods or large amounts of currency?
No, nothing to declare. Just personal belongings.
belongings.
All right. Everything looks fine.
Welcome to the United Kingdom. Enjoy
your stay.
