Xin chào các bạn đồng hành. Chúng ta đã đặt vé, đóng gói hành lý, và lên đường tới sân bay, chúng ta đã hạ cánh và bây giờ thấy những hàng dài trước quầy hải quan và nhập cảnh. Và nỗi sợ ập đến, liệu họ có cho tôi qua không? Tôi có thể tự tin nói rằng nhân viên hải quan không quan tâm bạn nói tiếng Anh tốt như thế nào. Tuy nhiên, họ đang xem xét bạn trả lời câu hỏi của họ một cách tự tin và trung thực ra sao. Hãy để Welling giúp bạn chuẩn bị cho chuyến đi tiếp theo và bước ra khỏi sân bay một cách dễ dàng để bắt đầu cuộc phiêu lưu mới của bạn.
