從南昌飛成都,再等候8個小時後,從成都直飛奧克蘭,歷經12個半小時,終於抵達。你們猜我在成都機場等待的時候都在幹嘛?
沒錯,我就是在聽機場廣播!!!所以,我想跟大家隨便分享幾個機場的廣播,學習學習英文。

學習建議:
1. 其實每個機場的廣播,都大同小異,播來播去也就那麼些內容。大家出門在外等飛機的時候,可以嘗試把不同機場的廣播做個對比,看看他們在表達和用詞上會不會有不同之處。另外,如果碰到某些地方口音太重,你無法理解,也不要難過,因為不理解的可能不只你一個,甚至還有英文母語者。
2. 你要是願意,可以找幾篇機場廣播稿來讀一讀,模擬一下場景,甚至錄一錄,聽一聽,對比對比。其實生活中都是英文,隨便什麼都可以拿來做材料,你說呢?
3. 這裡有個小網站,有幾個廣播稿和音頻,大家可以去聽聽:https://www.englishclub.com/english-for-work/airline-announcements.htm
