Travel Agent (TA): Hello, EZTravel. Ilene speaking. What can I do for you?

Traveler: Hello there. I'd like to book two round-trip tickets from New York to Miami.

TA: Ok. And what dates were you planning on traveling?

Traveler: Uh... we'd like to get to Miami on September 12^th.

TA: And your return date...

Traveler: The following Monday, the 17^th.

TA: Ok. Will that be first class, business, or economy?

Traveler: We only fly coach.

TA: Coach it is. Let's see... there's a Trans National flight leaving New York at 11:15 AM on September 12th...

Traveler: Uh huh.

TA: ...stopping over in Atlanta, and arriving in Miami at 5:35 PM. Your layover in Atlanta is about three hours.

Traveler: Hmm. You don't have any non-stop flights, do you?

TA: Unfortunately not.

Traveler: Ok. That flight sounds fine.

TA: Alright.

Traveler: How about the return?

TA: Let's see... departing Miami on September 17, at 11:30 AM... oh, you're in luck. The return trip is non-stop. You'll be getting into New York at 2:45 PM. How does that sound?

Traveler: Great. So how much does this all come to?

TRADUÇÃO

Agente de viagens (AV): Olá, EZTravel. Aqui é a Ilene. Como posso te ajudar?

Viajante: Oi. Eu gostaria de reservar duas passagens de ida e volta de Nova Iorque para Miami.

AV: Ok. Em quais datas você estava pretendendo viajar?

Viajante: Eh...gostaríamos de chegar em Miami no dia 12 de setembro.

AV: E a data da volta...

Viajante: A próxima segunda-feira, dia 17.

AV: Ok. Você prefere primeira classe, executiva ou econômica?

Viajante: Nós só voamos de classe econômica.

AV: Classe econômica será. Vamos ver... há um voo da Trans National saindo de Nova Iorque às 11:15 no dia 12 de setembro...

Viajante: Uh huh.

AV: ...fazendo escala em Atlanta, e chegando em Miami às 17:35 da tarde. A sua escala em Atlanta é em torno de três horas.

Viajante: Vocês não têm algum voo sem escala, têm?

AV: Infelizmente, não.

Viajante: Ok. Esse voo parece legal.

AV: Tudo bem.

Viajante: E a volta?

AV: Vamos ver... Saindo de Miami no dia 17 de setembro, às 11:30... ah, você tem sorte. A viagem de volta não tem escala. Você estará chegando em Nova Iorque às 14:45 da tarde. Tudo bem?

Viajante: Ótimo. Então, quanto custa tudo isso?

Good job!
Attention to:

Por: Ribamar em 22/06/2010 às 21:15h

Learning tag questions isn't as difficult as it looks like, is it?

Por: monicabic em 22/06/2010 às 22:45h

I agree, it is not as difficult as it looks. (look like is used for comparison)

Por: Ribamar em 23/06/2010 às 19:49h

Monicabic, I'm never going to make that mistake again, I promise you that.Thank you, so much.

Por: marcianna em 27/04/2010 às 21:39h

I don't know if I can go on with these classes, because I am very busy with my job and another course.
However, I want to say that I thought your site terrific. Congratulations! By the way, it seems that my classmates are enjoying the lessons, aren't they?

Por: Tamara em 28/04/2010 às 11:29h

Marcianna- Thank you very much! And good job! Your sentences are nicely written. Só atenção para a concordância no final: I ~~thought~~ find your site terrific. OR I think your site is terrific. Abs.

Por: gustavop em 01/04/2010 às 15:18h

hey guy, do you want to play soccer next weekend, don't you?

Por: Tamara em 02/04/2010 às 22:54h

Opa! Se você tem um "don't you?" no final, a primeira frase tem ser estar na afirmativa, não? E "Hey guy" tá meio estranho. "Hey, you want to play soccer next week, don't you? Abs.

Hey Josh! You are from California, aren't you?

Por: Josh em 04/09/2009 às 14:53h

Welcome to meuInglês, Raquelbcardoso! I'm glad you're having a good time while you explore our site. And yes, we do work quite hard here (great use of the question tag, by the way, even without the "t" on "don't). We really appreciate your comments. Your English is obviously quite good. I hope we see more of you in the future!

Por: Raquelbcardoso em 04/09/2009 às 13:20h

Hey guys! I'm new here as well and I should say I'm having a great time exploring the website. You guys really work hard, don' you? Congratulations! Well, talking about the lesson, I actually had that flight!! I flew from miami to NY and had a stopover in Charlotte,but it was quite fast, and I was with a friend, so it wasn`t tiring! I only fly coach as well, unfortunately!! As a teacher, that`s the only way I can afford!!

Por: monicabic em 03/09/2009 às 19:23h

Perfect, Roberta! You can use "can" in tag questions and "hello there" was used in the sense of "hello people" or "hello everybody".

Por: RobertaGC em 03/09/2009 às 18:10h

I can use your sunscreen, can't I? You talked "hello there", when you wanted to say "hello people", didn't you? I wrote these sentences on purpose, because I want to know the meaning of "there" in this situation and also, if I could use can in a tag question. Thanks!

Por: Ash em 13/08/2009 às 09:49h

Yeah, cmonte, I love traveling too, but I agree that the layovers can be nightmare! By the way, you sentences with question tags are perfect!

Por: cmonte em 13/08/2009 às 05:20h

I'm quite new at the group, but it seems to me that you are having a lot of fun while studying English, aren't you? By the way, I love travelling and really don't mind if it has to be coach. Stopovers are also something I can put up with, but layovers often have the power to transform the most exciting dream into a nightmare, don't they? Cheers

Por: Josh em 07/08/2009 às 11:13h

Hi, Alex. If I may answer your question... Usar Am I not? (e não "Am not I") como uma "question tag" está correto; é a forma não contrata e mais formal. Quando colocamos a contração, o "not" vem logo depois do verbo auxiliar, ou nesse caso, o verbo "to be" = "Amn't I", que ainda se usa em alguns dialetos de inglês na Irlanda, Inglaterra e Escôcia. Mas por razões fonéticas, a forma aren't I foi adotada para evitar o som desgradável das letras "mn".

Por: Josh em 07/08/2009 às 10:32h

Fernando, I actually did LOL when I read your comment. It's always good to think really hard about prices and the other factors involved in preparing for a trip. And London sounds like a fine choice! We will certainly take your suggestion under consideration. By the way, perfect use of the question tag!

Por: Josh em 07/08/2009 às 10:29h

I wish I were AbacaFrehley! I don't have plans to go anywhere anytime soon! Great sentence!

Por: Alex em 07/08/2009 às 09:15h

Hi Ash. Let's go again: I'm learning so much, aren’t I? I notice that in this case we must use "aren't I" instead "Am not I". This is a exception, isn't it?

Por: FernandoCortez em 06/08/2009 às 20:17h

Yeah Josh, In fact I've changed my mind, I'm gonna go to London next year. I thought really well about prices, accent.. and I've decided that London is better for me. By the way, you guys could do a new lesson about London, couldn't you ? lol.. Just a suggestion. See you

Por: AbacaFrehley em 06/08/2009 às 20:11h

You´re planning to travel, aren´t you?

Por: Ash em 06/08/2009 às 15:37h

Yes, Alex you are learning a lot! Que bom! Só uma coisa, observe como escreve uma frase usando o question tag (e, também observe a correção de gramática): "There will be a class tomorrow, won't there?". A frase vem junto com o question tag, separado por vírgula só. E nesse caso, there é o verbo auxiliar se usa no question tag. Agora, pode mandar a última frase de novo separando a frase com o question tag por vírgula?

Por: arlete em 06/08/2009 às 14:56h

Hi Josh! You're pretty right when you said that flying coach isn't the end of the world.
But we're always dreamming of first class,aren't we?

Por: Alex em 06/08/2009 às 11:13h

There will be a class tomorrow. Won’t it?
I'm learning so much. Aren’t I?
