Dear Tom

I’ve just arrived in Rome but I’m still recovering from a really terrible flight.

We _______ two hours late because of bad weather, and then over the channel we hit more bad weather. The ______ announced that we had to ______ our seat belts, which was a bit worrying, and for half an hour we _______ through a terrible storm. It was still raining and very windy when we ______ in Rome and I was really glad to _____ the plane and get into the airport building.

Fortunately things have improved since then but I really hope the return ________ is a lot better.

Think about the whole experience of flying (from check-in to the time you leave the airport at your destination) and answer these questions. If possible, discuss your answers with someone else.

1 What is the most interesting part, and what is the most boring part?

2 Where do you often have delays, and why?

3 Is there any part that frightens or worries you?

4 What do you usually do during most flights?

5 Do you always eat the food they give you?

6 Is there one thing which would improve flying and make the experience more interesting?
