M: Yeah, I’ll take the Daily Mail.
FA: There you go, sir. (Báo đây, thưa ông)
M: Thank you. It will help to take my mind off things (giúp

flight is the safest form of travel.
M: I know. I’m sure I’ll be better after we take off.

too. You‘ll find the film guide in the pocket in front of you, our inflight

M: Oh, good. A nice film will help me to relax.
FA: Programs will start shortly after take-off. If there’s
anything I can get for you, then please just call for assistance.
M: When will dinner be served?
FA: In a bout an hour or so. We have a fish, steak and the
vegetarian option (khẩu phần ăn chay). Which would you like?
M: Fish, please.
FA: OK, I’ll be back later. Now, please just try to relax
and enjoy your flight.

Thank you.
