布萊恩：但這也很值得呀!你可以證明，依靠自己的能力你能夠生存下去。
達里奧：對。我們為什么不一起去呢?這樣我們就可以整天練習英語了!

Lesson：課文
There are two reasons to make a trip to an airport. The first is to catch a plane and then second is to meet someone. In both cases, the most important thing is to be on time. It's much better to be early than late.
到飛機場去一般有兩個原因。不是去趕飛機就是去接人。這兩種情況下，最重要的事都是要準時。早點兒總比晚了要好。
If you are meeting someone you don't know, say if your boss has asked you to meet a customer, take a medium sized white sign, with the guests name written in large letters. Stand near to the exit so that your guest will see your sign quickly.
如果去接的人你不認識，例如你的老板讓你去接一個客戶，帶一個中等尺寸的顯示牌，在上面用大號字寫上客戶的名字。站在出口的旁邊使客人能很容易地看到你舉的牌子。
If it is someone that you know well, it might be nice to take some flowers to the airport to meet them with.
如果接的人你認識，那去飛機場接他們的時候帶束花會比較好。
Offer to carry the bags or push the trolley, but if the person says that they will, don't insist. If they want to carry or push their own bags, let them.
要幫他們提行李或推行李車，但如果那個人要自己來的話你也別勉強。如果他們想自己拿行李，請他們自便。
Remember that most people are not in the best mood after they have gotten off a long flight. Don't ask too many questions straight away. Let the person you are meeting relax a little and ask them if they want to have a cigarette before getting in the car or cab.
要記住：大多數人經過了長時間的飛行后心情都不會太好。別立刻問他們太多問題。讓他稍稍放松一下，在上車或出租車之前還可以問問他要不要先來根煙。
Dialogue - Past Tense(過去時對話)
Jeff: How was your trip out to the airport yesterday?
Joan: Cool. I loved it. I sat and imagined all of the exotic places that the planes were taking off to.
Jeff: Did you have to meet someone there?
Joan: I was picking up my sister who has been away for 5 years.
Jeff: You must have been very excited to see her?
Joan: I was but before she even said hello to me, she rushed outside to light a cigarette!
Jeff: Well because you cannot smoke on flights these days, I kinda understand how she must have felt.
Joan: Yeah - I understood too, but she should have said hello to me first.
Jeff: Did you drive out to the airport or catch a taxi?
Joan: I caught a cab. My sister has always hated my driving skills!
Jeff: Better to be safe than sorry, Joan.
