Listen for instructions and ask staff about your belongings.

The idea

Put asks you to place something somewhere; take out means remove it. Ask Do I need to…? when you are unsure.

Examples

  • Please put your coat in a tray.
  • Take your laptop out of the bag.
  • Do I need to remove my shoes?
  • Can this bottle stay in my bag?
  • Please walk through the scanner.
  • Where can I collect my belongings?
