空港税関 Airport Customs、関税 Customs Duty & 入国審査 Immigration

ImmigrationとCustomsの違いは？

Customs is the place where bags are checked for illegal or taxable items before travelers can enter a country. A customs duty is the tax collected on some items when they are brought into a country.

Immigration is the place at an airport, seaport or international border crossing where travelers' passports and documents are checked.

customs は、旅行者が入国する前に、荷物に不法なものや課税すべきものがないか確認する場所、つまり、税関のことです。また、customs は、ある品物を国に持ち込む際に課せられる税金、つまり、関税をさすこともあります。

immigration とは、空港や港、その他の国境地点で、旅行者のパスポートなどの書類を確認する場所、つまり、入国審査のことです。

Peru: Ivan's Personal Introduction

About Myself - Transcript of Personal Introduction

My name is Ivan and I am from Peru.

My question is how did you learn English?

Well, it all started when I was in high school and my teacher told me I had a good command of the English language, and that I should study it to speak it fluently.

That motivated me, and I decided to change all of my habits and do things differently.

I started to watch TV shows in English, movies in English.

Pretty much everything in my life changed to the point where everything I did involved the English language.

Little by little, I started to learn more, new words, new phrases and so I decided it was time to take it a step further.

So I entered an institute and started to learn the English language professionally.

Once in there, I entered into a website where I met a lot of people from all over the world speaking English.

And to this day some of these people continue to be my friends and I practice English with them every day.

Restaurant English: Mastering Dialogues and Vocabulary

When you go to a restaurant, you usually know what is going to happen and that is because eating at a restaurant usually follows a set script. The waiters aren't given one to memorize, of course. But even so, waiters and waitresses usually stick to a very narrow range of English phrases. We have written bellow what you can usually expect to hear when going to a restaurant.

Spicy Food & Conjunctions

How much spice is too much? Some people love spicy food. In many cultures, ingredients like chilies and hot pepper are common. Other cultures use garlic, ginger, or horseradish to spice up their food. Many people in the United States love hot sauce. They use it on almost everything from eggs to sandwiches! If you ask an American, they will probably have a favorite brand of hot sauce they like to use.

Spicy food can be good for your body. It can help with congestion if you have a cold. It can make you sweat, which cools your skin off. In hot countries, many people eat spicy food all the time so that they can feel cooler. However, if you are not used to spicy food, it can make you feel sick. It sometimes causes indigestion or just burns your tongue. It’s important to be careful and drink a lot of water if you are new to eating spicy food. Some people even drink milk, as it can help stop the spread of the heat.

Bryan and Kate are talking about some spicy food that Kate ate. Find out what they think about it in this English lesson.

When you have to go to the bathroom so badly, and you just cannot find a public restroom.

Alison:
It’s so true, and there aren’t very many alternatives.

Mari:
No. And I feel like we’re so lucky in the US because we have a lot of public restrooms. If you’ve traveled extensively, you don’t always get to places that have them.

Alison:
Exactly.

Mari:
And then you realize… Pretty lucky. Now, the flip side of that is that they are not always the cleanest places, are they?

I know! I always worry about my hygiene when I go in. I was in a public restroom the other day, and there were no soap dispensers and no paper towels.
