Problems at the airport

English

1) Read and translate the text. 

At the airport, Maria walked towards the check-in desk attendant. She smiled and said, "May I see your ticket?" Maria handed over her ticket and passport. The attendant looked at them and asked, "Would you like a window seat or an aisle seat?" Maria thought for a moment and replied, "A window seat, please."

The attendant then said, "Could you place your bag on the luggage belt?" Maria put it on the belt. The scales weighed her bag and the attendant checked if it was within the baggage allowance. "Your bag is fine," said the attendant. "Please keep in mind not to carry any hazardous materials in your carry-on bag."

Maria thanked the attendant and took her boarding pass. She walked towards the departure lounge. Along the way, she passed several shops and cafes. She decided to buy a coffee and a magazine to read while she waited.

In the departure lounge, Maria found a comfortable seat near the big screen that showed flight information. She looked at her boarding pass and saw her flight number. The screen showed that her flight leaves at 10:30. She had some time to relax.

After a while, there was an announcement. "Attention, passengers on flight 5678 to New York. Please go to gate 5 for boarding." Maria stood up,took her suitcase and carry-on bag, and walked towards gate 5. She saw other passengers already in line at the counter.

When it was her turn, she handed her boarding pass to the airline staff and walked down the jet bridge to the airplane. She found her seat next to a window, just as she had asked. She put her bag and sat down, looking out the window excitedly for her journey ahead.

Nickelback - If Today Was Your Last Day Second Conditional

ESL

My best friend gave me the best advice
He said each day's a gift and not a given right
Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind
And try to take the path less traveled by
That first step you take is the longest stride
(What if, what if?)

If today was your last day
And tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday? (What if, what if?)
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past?
Donate every dime you have?
(What if, what if?)
If today was your last day
(What if, what if?)
(If today was your last day)

Against the grain should be a way of life
What's worth the prize is always worth the fight
Every second counts 'cause there's no second try
So live like you'll never live it twice
Don't take the free ride in your own life
(What if, what if?)

If today was your last day
And tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday? (What if, what if?)
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past?
Donate every dime you have? (What if, what if?)
And would you call old friends you never see?
Reminisce old memories?
Would you forgive your enemies? (What if, what if?)
Would you find that one you're dreamin' of?
Swear up and down to God above
That you finally fall in love? (That you finally fall in love)
If today was your last day

If today was your last day
Would you make your mark by mending a broken heart?
You know it's never too late to shoot for the stars
Regardless of who you are
So do whatever it takes (Takes)
'Cause you can't rewind a moment in this life
Let nothin' stand in your way (Way)
'Cause the hands of time are never on your side

If today was your last day
And tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past?
Donate every dime you have? (What if, what if?)
And would you call old friends you never see?
Reminisce old memories?
Would you forgive your enemies? (What if, what if?)
Would you find that one you're dreamin' of?
Swear up and down to God above
That you finally fall in love? (What if, what if?)
