Ενότητα 6 : Ταξιδεύοντας στο Εξωτερικό

Σκοπός

Η επάρκεια στη χρήση της Αγγλικής γλώσσας αποτελεί αναμφίβολα

απαραίτητο εφόδιο για όποιον θέλει να ταξιδέψει στο εξωτερικό για

προσωπικούς ή επαγγελματικούς σκοπούς. Η χρήση της Αγγλικής διευκολύνει τις

ανάγκες επικοινωνίας μας από το να ζητήσουμε πληροφορίες και οδηγίες έως το να

παραγγείλουμε σε ένα εστιατόριο, να κλείσουμε εισιτήρια ή ένα δωμάτιο ξενοδοχείου

και να κάνουμε ψώνια.

Στην ενότητα αυτή θα εξετάσουμε διάφορα παραδείγματα χαρακτηριστικών

διαλόγων που αφορούν συνηθισμένες περιπτώσεις καθημερινών συναλλαγών ή

συνδιαλέξεων. Θα εξετάσουμε μέσα από αυτούς το λεξιλόγιο, τις φράσεις και τη

γραμματική που χρησιμοποιούμε σε αυτές τις περιπτώσεις. Ιδιαίτερη έμφαση θα

δοθεί εδώ σε μία ποικιλία θεματικών ομάδων λεξιλογίου όπως: φαγητό, διαμονή,

ψώνια, και συγκοινωνίες.

Προσδοκώμενα Αποτελέσματα Να αναπτύξετε την δεξιότητα επικοινωνίας στα Αγγλικά.

Να αναπτύξετε τις δεξιότητες παραγωγής προφορικού λόγου και κατανόησης

γραπτού και προφορικού λόγου.

Να αναπτύξετε την ικανότητα αποτελεσματικής επικοινωνίας με άτομα στην

προσωπική και επαγγελματική σας ζωή.

Να αντιληφθείτε πολιτισμικές διαφορές μεταξύ των λαών.

Iceland and Zimbabwe. Read them and match them to the countries.

1. There are three things that no traveller here should be without: a tent, a

parks, with shorts for the daytime. A jacket and warm socks are a good idea as it

can get cold at night. Other items which will be handy are a small travel alarm, a

basic first aid kit, a water bottle, a towel, a camera, a penknife and any batteries

that you need. Take insect repellent, sun cream and a money belt.

September you should take several pairs of thick socks, heavy windproof gloves,

high-protection sunglasses, a wool hat, a jumper, hiking shorts, wool shirt and

trousers ( jeans are cold and uncomfortable when wet ), and a waterproof jacket.

of news.

Οι ποσοτικές λέξεις some, any, no, a lot of /lots of μπορούν να

Οι λέξεις many / (a) few χρησιμοποιούνται μόνο με αριθμήσιμα.

Ορισμένα μη αριθμήσιμα ουσιαστικά έχουν και αριθμήσιμη μορφή αλλά με

1. A You look tired.

B Yes, we got back at 3.00 this morning.

2. A There are lots of mosquitos.

B Well, put on some insect repellent.

3. A Are you taking a torch or candles?

B I can’t make up my mind.

4. A Are you leaving tomorrow?

B Yes, I’m really looking forward to it.

5. A Are the photos ready?

B Yes, I’m going to pick them up this afternoon.

6. A It’s 9.00.

B 9.00? We should set off for the airport.

22

7. A I’m cold.

B You should get into your sleeping bag.


Reporter Well, eventually Dean, you took off seventeen hours late, which is quite a

delay, isn’t it?

Dean That’s right, seventeen hours late, and then about two hours into the flight, we were told we’d been diverted to Athens due to a problem with the engines.

Reporter So you touched down in Athens, what happened then?

Dean We were then told that we weren’t allowed to leave the plane, and we

were finally taken off the plane probably about thirty forty minutes later,

into the Athens terminal, where we were given really no information at

all for about forty minutes.

Reporter Now is it right that at one point the passengers actually refused to get

back on the flight because there’d been so many problems with it?

Dean Yeah, the majority of the passengers were refusing to get on the plane

because you don’t really want to get in the same aircraft when you were

delayed in the first place due to a technical fault.

Reporter So, what’s the latest now, Dean?

Dean We’re at the airport now, people are checking onto a flight from an

airline called Peach airlines. That’s supposedly taking off at about three

o’clock Athens time, and should be flying straight to Gatwick, so, I mean,

by the time we land in England, if we land on time, this flight will have

been delayed forty hours.

Reporter What do you think of the service, then, so far?

Dean I think it’s appalling, is the only word I can think to describe it, severe,

severe lack of information. I don’t think anyone of the passengers has

seen or spoken to anyone from the airline, and I think the most

disgusting thing even is to see the crew of the plane being taken off to

hotels before any of the passengers …

Reporter It’s ridiculous, isn’t it?

Dean I think it’s their duty to make sure all the passengers, especially when

there’s a lot of children on the flight, a lot of young children, a lot of

families you know, and the crew are just going off. I do think that’s

wrong.


A Hello, National Rail Enquiries, Tracy speaking, how may I help you?

B Oh, hello, I’d like to ask about trains from London to Edinburgh.

A When for?

23

B This Sunday, at around 10.00

A Hold on a second … right, there’s one at 10.00 from Kings Cross, which reaches

Edinburgh at 3.21, or there’s one at 10.30 whish gets in at 4.06.

B And how much is it?

A Single or return?

B Return, please.

A First or standard?

B Oh, standard

A That’s £66.00, and there are no time restrictions on that ticket.

B OK, thanks very much.

A Thanks for calling. Bye.

Clerk Visitor information, can I help you?

Gilly Oh, yes, hello, I wonder if you can, um, I’m thinking of coming over to Boston in

August and I was wondering if you could give me some, um, general

information about sightseeing, etc.

Clerk OK

Gilly I was wondering if you could tell me, late August, er what’s the weather like at

that time?

Clerk Oh, it’s almost impossible to tell but, you know, it could be humid and hot –

into the nineties and above.

Gilly Oh, fine, Ok, so, um, with regard to swimming, er, do you have many beaches or

…?

Clerk Oh, I wouldn’t go into the city to swim.

Gilly Oh, right.

Clerk You can walk on the beaches here, but, er, to swim, I would go north or south of

Boston about an hour or so .

Gilly I see, OK, that’s fine. OK. Regarding hotels, should I book in advanced or can I

just sort of arrive and book once I arrive?

Clerk In Boston?

Gilly Yeah, in Boston itself, yes.

Clerk Oh, no you want to make a reservation for August probably now.

Gilly Right, er, OK. Could you also recommend, um, the main things there are to see?

24

Clerk Now, that’s, like, Boston’s a major metropolitan city, I mean, er, we’re known

for our history, with the American Revolution, er, we have many museums,

Gilly Uh huh

Clerk There’s the children’s Museum, the Science Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts,

the New England Aquarium,

Gilly Excellent …

Clerk …excellent shopping, clothes stores, book stores, then parks, and just half an

hour outside Boston there are the forests and lakes of New England.

Gilly I see, so, so it would sort of, suit most people with different interests

Clerk I would think so.

Gilly Good, right, well that’s lovely

Clerk We’re not little you know, not a little town,

Gilly OK, well, thank you very much.

Clerk You’re very welcome.
