F2F Class Notes (Nemo) [W]

I arrived BEIJING On October 13. When I arrived I had a really special dinner near my hotel. It’s donkey meat sandwich, they said donkey meat as good as dragon meat but We never know. Next day I get up at 7am prepare the interview have full make up and ate breakfast. When I finally arrived the office.It was 300 people lines waited outside.Beijing was too cold,but we wear dress and silk stockings.We wait over 3 hours and get inside.Lufthansa interviewer was so nice, meet us one by one.It was different at the other airlines interview. Usually the first round have 10 people get in the room. Because it’s easy to contrast. Waiting 3 hours just have 3 minutes. I guess all interview need us have some luck.

I arrived in BEIJING On October 13. When I arrived I had a really special dinner near my hotel. It was a donkey meat sandwich, they said donkey meat is as good as dragon meat but We will never be able to check that. Next day I got up at 7am prepared for the interview I did a full make up and ate breakfast. When I finally arrived to/at the office there  were 300 people already lined up waiting outside. Beijing was so/very cold,but we wore dress and silk stockings.We waited  for over 3 hours and got inside.Lufthansa interviewer was really nice, she was meeting with us one by one. It was different than the other airlines’ interview. Usually the first round would have 10 people they enter the room together so that the HR can compare them.  Waiting for 3 hours to only have 3 minutes interview. I guess that every interview requires a speck of luck

When you want to express that you come to a country, city, or generally a geographical location, use “arrive in”, for example:

We will arrive in England at about 5 o’clock.
Once you arrive in Paris, you will definitely have to see the Eiffel Tower.
In virtually any other situation, you should use “arrive at”:

When I arrived at the party, all my friends were already drunk.
Will you arrive at the meeting?

There are a few isolated expressions in which also “arrived on” is possible:
We arrived on/at the island after a long trip.
The spacecraft arrived on/at Mars.
The police arrived too late on/at the scene of crime.
but using “at” in these cases is completely acceptable as well.
