NEW · Speaking Mode: Tap Start speaking and wait for “Listening”. Tap Stop speaking when you finish your answer. Then review the transcription and check your response. Help reveals words, a starter and finally a model; help is recorded. Short pauses are allowed.
Read, listen, or speak your way through a realistic international departure sequence at JFK Terminal 8. Choose the reply you would actually say at check-in, bag drop, security, the gate document check, and boarding.
Some answers are calm, clear, and practical. Other answers are too vague, too rushed, or misunderstand everyday U.S. airport phrases such as “checked bag”, “final destination”, “tagged through”, “connection”, “security checkpoint”, “carry-on”, “liquids”, “boarding group”, “overhead bin”, and “under the seat”.
You can recover by using repair language such as: “Sorry, let me clarify”, “My final destination is Rome”, “Can you confirm the bag is tagged through to FCO?”, “I’ll take that out now”, “Here is my passport and boarding pass”, and “I’ll wait until my group is called.” At the end, review your result and submit it to your teacher/tutor.
- It is your last morning in New York, and you have arrived at JFK Terminal 8 by taxi for your international return flight.
- You need to check in, drop your suitcase, and confirm that the checked bag goes through to Rome FCO even though you connect at London Heathrow.
- After check-in, you must follow security screening instructions, show passport and boarding pass at the gate document check, and board when your group is called.
- Your goal is to complete all JFK departure procedures smoothly and board the flight to London Heathrow with everything clear and organized for the connection to Rome.
Guided Speaking
Listen to the other speaker and use your own words to achieve the goal. Tap Start speaking, wait for “Listening”, then tap Stop speaking. Review your transcription and tap Check my response. The task check may ask for a missing detail.
This mode checks task-specific details in your text, not pronunciation or all grammar. Unfamiliar wording can need teacher review. If your phone joins spelled letters into a name, retry or mark the goal for teacher review.
