Day 2-5: Arrival Airport New York JFK – Customs / Baggage Inspection
Read, listen, or speak your way through a realistic U.S. customs baggage inspection after arriving at JFK. Choose the reply you would actually say to a customs officer.
Some answers are calm, truthful, and cooperative. Other answers are defensive, too vague, or misunderstand phrases like “random inspection”, “personal use”, “anything to declare”, “commercial items”, “receipts”, and “open your suitcase”.
You can recover by using repair language such as: “Sorry, I misunderstood”, “Let me rephrase that”, “These are for personal use”, “I can show you the receipt”, “Do you need me to open this pocket?”, and “Thank you, officer.” At the end, review your result and submit it to your teacher/tutor.
- You passed immigration at New York JFK and collected your suitcase from baggage claim.
- A customs officer has selected you for a random baggage inspection before you exit the airport.
- Your goal is to follow instructions, answer clearly, identify your items, and leave the airport calmly.
