Full Conversation

Passenger

Excuse me, I think this is my seat, 18A. Could we check the seat numbers together?

Cabin Crew

Yes, I can help. Let me check the travel details with you.

Passenger

Thank you. Could you help me place this small bag in the overhead compartment?

Cabin Crew

Certainly. I will explain the easiest option.

Passenger

Great. I just want to make sure I have understood everything correctly before we continue.

Cabin Crew

No problem. It is always better to confirm the details than to guess.

Passenger

May I have some water when you have a moment, please?

Cabin Crew

That is correct. I will confirm it once more so you can travel without confusion.

Passenger

Okay, I understand. Let me repeat the main point in my own words so I remember it.

Cabin Crew

Perfect. Go ahead. If anything is missing, I will correct it.

Passenger

Do you know roughly what time we are expected to land?

Cabin Crew

You are welcome. Keep an eye on the signs or announcements in case anything changes.

Passenger

Thank you. That makes the situation much easier for me.

Cabin Crew

You are welcome. I am glad we could sort it out clearly.

Useful Expressions

  • Could you please…?
  • If I understand correctly…
  • Could you say that again, please?
  • Thank you. That’s clear now.

Speak it aloud

Read the conversation once. Then choose one role and speak only that role aloud. On the second round, close the page after each line and try to respond naturally in your own words.

Practise This Situation with Timer

Practice Challenge

Keep the same situation but change two details. For example, change the time, place, problem, preference or reason. Try to continue the conversation for one extra minute without reading.
