5. Discuss the questions.

What’s the difference between a boarding pass and a ticket?

A ticket is a document that shows you paid for the flight. A boarding pass is what you get after you check in, and it allows you to get on the plane. (Квиток – це документ, який показує, що ви заплатили за рейс. Посадковий талон – це те, що ви отримуєте після реєстрації, і він дозволяє вам сісти в літак).

What’s the difference between a security check and a customs check?

A security check is for safety, to make sure no one brings dangerous things on the plane. A customs check is about what goods you are bringing into a country. (Перевірка безпеки – для безпеки, щоб переконатися, що ніхто не проносить небезпечні речі в літак. Митний контроль – стосується того, які товари ви ввозите в країну).

The best thing is that it’s a very fast way to travel long distances and see the clouds from above. The worst things are the long queues and waiting at the airport.
