I'm sure you have. The same with me. My dream came true in 1998.I want to share some pleasant emotions of staying in the USA with you. I hope my experience will help you understand once again the necessity of learning English and Business English ,of course.

Lets start from the very beginning- check your knowledge of the essential vocabulary. So, translate into Ukrainian: To fly by plane The plane arrives A non stop flight To fasten seat belts Cabin luggage Passport control To go through the green channel Customs officer The purpose of your visit To check in the hotel To fill out a form A single\double room Bed and breakfast All modern conveniences

How all this started… Everything started on June 19, 1998. We departed from Boryspil International Airport. It was not a non-stop flight. We flew from Kyiv to Vienna, from Vienna to New York, from New York to Washington. The longest trip was over the Atlantic Ocean. It took more than 8 hours and it was rather tiresome, though the service was great. We were given food twice and from time to time we could have some drinks. There were more than 12 music channels, built into our seats, and we could choose music to our tastes. There was a big screen in the middle and some films were shown during the flight. Films were broken a few times and we were shown some exercises to relax our bodies, information about the weather outside, the height of our flight, the countries we were passing by. We flew over Germany. ,Holland, England, Scotland, Ireland, Greenland, Canada. The countries below were so small, but so beautiful.

Check yourself! Have you understood everything correctly? Say which sentences are true and which are false! 1.The flight from Kyiv to Washington was a non stop one. 2. It was a little bit tiresome, because there was no necessary comfort. 3. The flight from Vienna to New York lasted more than 9 hours. 4.The countries below were small and charming. 5.The Pacific Ocean was below. 6.All the passengers listened to the music they liked. 7.If the passengers were hungry, they had to pay for their meals. 8.The plane took off in Boryspil International Airport.

New York ...New York… When we arrived in New York it was early morning in Ukraine and we were so sleepy that it was hard to us to say a word or to make an extra movement. We had to go through our custom and passport control. The custom officer asked us one and the same question “What's the purpose of your visit?” We answered “Business. It’s a professional development seminar." The custom officers, the porters, all the clerks and many other workers in the airport were black and my first impression of the city was “a city of black people.”
