I recently returned from a trip to New York. I had such a great time in the modern city.

________, at first I was very nervous because my English was so bad. Slowly I knew that I needn’t ________ a lot when I learned some useful expressions.

Could you please tell me... ?

It is probably the English expression I used ________ because I was outside all day traveling. Knowing how to say “ Where is...” and “How can I get to...” politely will certainly be ________.

Numbers: One to ten.

Knowing numbers will help you pay the right money, or ________ the right bus.

On my way back from New York, the stewardess (女乘务员) came up to me and asked me a question. While I couldn’t understand, I ________ that she asked for my seat number as she asked other passengers to take their seats. 25F was my seat number. I knew two and five, but I didn’t know twenty-five. ________ speaking, I gestured (打手势) two and five with my hands. The stewardess smiled at me and said “OK”. Hand gestures can work, but knowing ________ to say the numbers is also important!

Excuse me.

Getting people’s ________ in a polite way is important, especially when you need help.

Thank you.

We are polite travelers, so it’s ________ of us to say “Thank you” often.
