Packing a Suitcase
It is the night before your trip, your flight leaves tomorrow morning, the empty suitcase is open on your bed like a hungry mouth, and your room looks like a clothing store after an earthquake.
What it is
It is the night before your trip, your flight leaves tomorrow morning, the empty suitcase is open on your bed like a hungry mouth, and your room looks like a clothing store after an earthquake. Shirts on the chair, shoes on the floor, chargers tangled on the desk, and you standing in the middle asking the eternal question of every traveler: "What do I pack?" Packing a suitcase is both an art and a science. Pack too little, and you will suffer buying expensive things you forgot; pack too much, and you will drag a heavy monster through airports, pay extra fees for overweight luggage, and return home with half the clothes untouched. The good news is that packing well is a skill anyone can learn, and once you learn it, you will start every trip calm, organized, and proud of your perfectly closed suitcase.
Everything starts with information, not with clothes. First, check the weather of your destination for the exact days of your trip, not the weather in your city.
Let's talk — 10 questions to discuss with your voice tutor:
1. Are you an organized packer or a last-minute packer? Describe how you pack.
2. What are five things you never travel without?
3. Do you prefer a big checked suitcase or traveling light with only a carry-on? Why?
4. What is the strangest or most unnecessary thing you have ever packed?
5. How do you decide what clothes to take on a trip?
6. Have you ever forgotten something important at home or in a hotel? What happened?
7. What do you think about the trick of rolling clothes instead of folding them?
8. How much space do you leave for souvenirs when you pack?
9. What would you pack for a one-week trip to a cold city? Make your list in English.
10. Why is it important to keep medicines and documents in your carry-on bag?
