{"product_id":"2940152430592","title":"Travel English for Busy Travelers: Level 1","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe goal of this self-study e-textbook is to help you quickly learn a special type of English, travel English. The e-book is written for EFL (English as a Foreign Language) students who are too busy to take a course in travel English but who still want to learn English they need for world travel. The book focuses on topics, not grammar. Grammar patterns that are useful for conversation are taught, but the focus is on topics that are important for travelers, such as going through immigration and customs, checking into a hotel, ordering at a restaurant, changing money, getting help, taking public transportation, renting cars, and shopping. Each chapter includes a short and a long conversation. Students can easily practice changing words in the long conversations by changing underlined words. The book is designed for self-study with lots of exercises on vocabulary (new words and phrases), reading comprehension, and grammar patterns; you can easily check your answers with an answer key at the bottom of each exercise. The book is written for beginners, but it can be used as a good review book for false beginners and intermediate students. The order of chapters follows the natural order of things tourists probably need to do when they travel—starting with immigration, customs, checking into a hotel, introducing yourself, and moving on to topics such as ordering at a restaurant and bar, changing money, getting around (by taxi, bus, subway, and train), and going shopping. The reading passages at the end of each chapter are written on topics that will help you avoid many problems foreign tourists have when traveling in America and other English-speaking countries. There are two chapters titled Can You Do It? (Chapters 5 and 10) that help students review important points from the e-book. Students can easily move around the book and find topics of interest by using the e-Book’s Table of Contents. Work at your own pace in order to get ready for your next trip to places all around the world where English is spoken.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*Table of Contents*\u003cbr\u003eHow Your Tablet Can Help You Learn English\u003cbr\u003eHow to Use this Book\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1: Arriving at an International Airport\u003cbr\u003eImmigration (Passport Control)\u003cbr\u003eCustoms (Customs Control)\u003cbr\u003eGood and Bad Answers at Immigration \u0026amp; Customs\u003cbr\u003eChapter 2: Introducing Yourself \u0026amp; Checking into a Hotel\u003cbr\u003eIntroducing Yourself at a Hotel Bar\u003cbr\u003eIntroducing Two People\u003cbr\u003eChecking into a Hotel\u003cbr\u003eIntroducing Yourself in English\u003cbr\u003eChapter 3: Going Out to Eat\u003cbr\u003eAt a Fast-food Restaurant\u003cbr\u003eChoosing Dinner on an Airplane\u003cbr\u003eOrdering Dinner at a Restaurant\u003cbr\u003eMagic Words for Ordering Food and Drinks\u003cbr\u003eChapter 4: Getting Help\u003cbr\u003eTalking with Hotel Staff\u003cbr\u003eTrying to Find a Lost Bag\u003cbr\u003eHow to Get Help and Information at Your Hotel\u003cbr\u003eChapter 5: Can You Do It?\u003cbr\u003e(Review Chapter for Chapters 1-4)\u003cbr\u003eArriving at an International Airport in the USA\u003cbr\u003eChapter 6: Getting Around by Taxi, Train, Bus or Rental Car\u003cbr\u003eRiding in a Taxi\u003cbr\u003eCalling a Taxi\u003cbr\u003eAt a Train Station\u003cbr\u003eAt a Subway Station\u003cbr\u003eOn a Subway Platform 1\u003cbr\u003eOn a Subway Platform 2\u003cbr\u003eTalking with Subway Staff\u003cbr\u003eAt a Bus Station\u003cbr\u003eRenting a Car\u003cbr\u003eTrouble Buying Tickets\u003cbr\u003eChapter 7: Changing Money \u0026amp; Changing Plans\u003cbr\u003eChanging Money at a Hotel\u003cbr\u003eCalling to Change Airline Reservations after Breaking an Arm\u003cbr\u003eTipping in the USA\u003cbr\u003eChapter 8: Making Plans for Sightseeing\u003cbr\u003eWhat Should I Do in San Francisco?\u003cbr\u003eTelling Time\u003cbr\u003eChapter 9: Going Shopping\u003cbr\u003eAt a Supermarket\u003cbr\u003eAt a Shopping Mall\u003cbr\u003eAt a Convenience Store\u003cbr\u003eShopping in America\u003cbr\u003eChapter 10: Can You Do It?\u003cbr\u003e(Review Chapter for Chapters 6-9)\u003cbr\u003eHow to Improve Your English Speaking Skills\u003cbr\u003eBonus Chapter: Welcome to Miami!\u003cbr\u003eWelcome to Miami!
