Unit fourteenPassportsText When the plane arrives at the Heathrow airport the passengers get out of the plane and go into the building of the airport. After passing along endless corridors they get to the passport control point called Immigration. There are two gates. One is for passengers from EC (European Community) countries. And the other gate is for passengers from all other countries. After queuing up for some time Mr. Lvov and the group come up to the queue marshal who signals what officer is free. And each person goes to the counter indicated. Here is a typical talk between the English Immigration officer and a Russian businessman: Russian: Good morning. Officer: Good morning, sir. May I see your passport and landing card, please? Russian: Certainly. Here you are. Officer: Thank you.... What's the reason for your visit to the UK? Russian: I'm on a business tour to attend a training programme. Officer: And how long are you staying here? Russian: A week or so. Officer: Have you got a return ticket? Russian: Yes, certainly. Here is my ticket. Officer: May I see the invitation of the company who will receive you here? Russian: Just a minute I'll ask our Group Leader to present it .... Here is the invitation. Officer: Thank you .... Everything is OK. Here is your passport, ticket and the invitation. Some Russian businessmen have difficulty in speaking with the English Immigration officers and answering then questions. Usually English officers do not like strangers to help them with interpreting. In such cases the officers ask their own interpreters for help. Most probably these interpreters are staff members of Immigration. For some Russian businessmen of the group it was the first experience with Englishmen and the only words they could say were: I am sorry. I do not speak English. Others could say a few words, like these: I have come as a businessman for training. I shall stay in England for eight days. I shall stay at Sherlock Holmes hotel in London. Words and expressions
