Turista - Lettura
La lezione di oggi darà alcuni consigli a chi si sta preparando per andare in vacanza.
Are you packing (facendo le valigie)? Here are a few helpful tips (dritte)!
Put essential replacements (ricambi) in your hand luggage (bagaglio a mano), in case your suitcases (valigie) don’t arrive at your destination. Make photocopies of your ID (documento di identità) and pack it (riponilo) separately from the original. Send yourself an email with all the important information: credit card emergency numbers, passport and driving license (patente) numbers. That way, if your documents are lost (smarriti) or stolen (rubati), you will be able to retrieve (recuperare) all your details. Do not put your valuables (oggetti di valore) in the front pockets (tasche anteriori) of your rucksack (zaino), or it will be very easy for someone to rob you. If you are travelling by plane, tie (lega) a coloured ribbon (nastro) round the handles (maniglie) of your bags, so it will be easy to find them on the carousel (nastro trasportatore). Before leaving the house, unplug (stacca) electrical appliances, except freezer and fridge. Leave spare keys (duplicato delle chiavi) and a contact number with someone you trust (di cui ti fidi).
