今天,我需要去移民局办理我的签证。我有点紧张,因为这是我第一次来这里。我走进大厅,里面有很多人。我看到一个机器,上面写着“取号”。我按了一下按钮,拿到一个号码,是A012。我找到一个座位,开始等待。大屏幕上显示着号码和窗口。我的心跳有点快。我看到人们排队去不同的窗口。一个大叔在A3窗口,一个年轻女孩在B5窗口。我看着我的号码,A012。现在是A007。还有几个人在我前面。我深呼吸。

Let's pause our story for a moment to look at some key vocabulary you just heard.

终于,大屏幕上显示了我的号码:A012,请到三号窗口。我站起来,走到三号窗口。一位女士坐在里面。她微笑着说:“你好,请问您办理什么业务?”我递上我的护照和申请表,说:“你好,我来办理签证。” 她仔细地看了一下我的资料。然后她问:“您的居住地址对吗?” 我说:“是的,对的。”她又指着表格上的一个地方说:“请在这里签名。” 我签了我的名字。她告诉我:“请再等十分钟,就好了。” 我感觉轻松多了。在这里,效率很高,人们也很乐意帮忙。十分钟后,我的新签证就办好了。真顺利!
