Hi Teachers,
There is another dialogue as follows:
Could you tell me if there is anything that should be improved? Thank you!!
Just this bit:
The purpose of the visit and the intended length of stay are left blank, and your signature is missing (I have removed the comma here) too. Please complete the card without leaving any items in blank.
Thank you so much! It’s really helpful!
Hi Beeesneees,
Just to be safe, could you please check this part for me too?
Many thanks.
As was mentioned elsewhere during later corrections, ‘and the like’ is very informal and should probably be avoided in a formal textbook/instruction manual.
I would use one of these:
Looks through the travel documents.
Looks through the travel documentation.
Looks through the immigration card and other documents.
Looks through the immigration card and other documentation.
Looks through the immigration card, etcetera.
Looks through the immigration card, etc. (This is the formally accepted - and more widely used than the full word - abbreviation of etcetera)
I’d prefer the original:
That’s OK. So you are going to stay …
to
Good, so you are going to stay …
‘That’s OK’ indicates that he is being understanding about the mistake.
Thank you very much Beeesneees. I have now changed the first to “Looks through the immigration card, etc.” and the second back to "That’s OK. So you are going to stay … ". It’s great and safe to have your confirmation again.
