wanted a mountain bike. His mother replied that Sammy
didn't
need

tain bike and that his bike was fine.
10. Turn
thefollowing
into
u
conversation.
Christine complained that their house was too small. She
suggested
looking
for somewhere bigger. Wayne asked her why she wanted to move. He
pointed
out they had only
moved in
a
year
before. She
reminded
him that he had
said
it would
only
be temporary. He agreed, but told her that his business hadn't
been very successful so they couldn't aflord to move
yet.
Christine asked if
they would be able
to move
the
following
year.
She said
that the baby was
growing
up fast and that he needed his own room. Wayne admitted that
she
was
right, but asked her to be
patient.
He
promised
that they would move as
soon as
they
could
afford it.

Air Travel
Nowadays
people
who
go
on business
mostly
travel
by air,
as
it
is the
fastest
means of
travelling.
Here
are some
hints
on
air travel
that
may
be helpful.
Passengers
are requested
to
arrivc
at the
airport
two hours
before
departure
time
on international
flights
and an hour
before
on domestic
flights
as there
must
be enough
time
ts complete
the neoessary
airport
formalities.
Before
the flight
you
have
to register
your
ticket
and
weigh in
and register
the
luggage.
You
go
to
the check-in
desk
where
your
ticket
is looked
at,
your
things
are weighed
and
labelled.
Each
pissenger
is
allowed
20
kilos
of lug-
gage
free
bfcharge.
Ifyour
luggage
is
overweight
you
have
to
pay
extra.
At
the
registration
desk
you
are
given
a boarding
pass
which has
your
seat num-
ber on it.
ofcourse,
before
your
flight
you
also
go
through passport
control
and
the security
check.
Watch
the electric
sign
flashes
when
you
are
on board.
when
the
'Fasten
seat
Belts'
sign
goes
on,
do it
promptly,
and
also obey the
.No
Smoking'
signal.
Do
not forget
your
personal
belongings
when leaving
the
plane.
l
When
you
travel
abroad
you
must
go
through
the
Customs
inspection.
Cus-
toms
on
board
fuil
name,
ar-
rived
isa.
Then the
passenger
goes
to
the
Customs for
an.inspection
of the
"luggage.
There the
passenger
frlls in
the customs
declaration.
He
nrust list
all dutiable
articles
(personal
bblongings -
handbags,
briefcases,
umbrellas,
souvenirs -
346
\
may
be brought in duty-free).
If the traveller
has nothing
to declare he
may
just
go
through
the 'green' section
of the Customs. In
some cases
tlie Customs
inspector may
ask
you
to open
your
bags for inspection.
It sometimes
happens
that
a
passenger's
luggage
is carefully
gone
through to
prevent
smuggling.
b) Ask and answer
questions
about
lfg
afrport
formalities..,c)
Speak about
the airp ort

2: Back to England
Clarissa
Hopper is on
her
way back to
England
after a visit to Italy.
Clarissa
looked out of the taxi window at the wet road. It was still raining.
She
was looking
forward
to
getting
home after a
busy and
tiring week
in
Italy.
The
taxi
began to slow
down.
Then the
handsome
brown-eyed driver turned
round to face
Clarissa
and said, 'Terminal, signorina.' He smiled. The taxi
stopped outside the terminal and
Clarissa
got
out. While
she
was
finding
some
money in her
purse,
the driver took
out
her luggage.
'That's the last of
my
lira,' thought
Clarissa
sadly
as she
paid
her fare.
She
picked
up her suitcase,
passed
through
the
automatic
doors
and entered
the terminal building. She
felt
as if she
had
just
crossed the border of Italy.
The British Airways check-in desk was near the
enfrance.
After
checking-in
her
luggage,
she went
to
buy some magazines. Then she went through
pass-
port
control and the security check and into the departure lounge.
She saw from the television screens that her flight
was
not
yet
boarding.
There was still half an
hour
before her
flight
left. While she was waiting she
bought some duty-free
goodS
for
her
parents
-
some wine, some olives
and
some salzimi for herself.
She thought
suddenly of Simon.
'Perhaps
I ought
to
buy something for
Simon.
But he never telephoned me before I left, so . . .'
'British
Airways
announce
the departure of Flight 8A677 to London Heath-
row.
Will all
passengers
please proceed
to Gate II. Flight
B.A677
to
London
-
Heathrow is now boarding.'
It was
time
to leave.
After waiting in the
queue
wi0r the.other
passengers,
Clarissa
got
her seat number
in
the non-smoking section
and walked down the
corridor and onto the
plane.
Her
seat
was next to the window and the emer-
gency
exit.
With
relief she sat down and
fastened her
safety
belt. But
she
still
felt nervous. She travelled
by
plane
so
often, but she still hated every moment
of
it. She couldn't understand why she
was afraid of flying.
While
the
plane
was
taking off,
she
closed her eyes, but when the
plane
was
in the air she began
to relax. She
pressed
the
button at the
side ofher seat,
lay
back
and opbned her eyes
again.
'I
wonder if Simon's
going
to come
and
meet
me at the airpoi.
It's
so much
nicer to come home when
you
know
there's
someone to meet
you
and to help
you
with
your
luggage. All those
books!
They're heavier than
I
expected.
Anyway, I don't really care if
he's
there
or not
.
. .
Oh,
well,
back to
business!'
Clarissa took out
her
calculator.
348
Ping! The sound of
a
bell woke Clarissa
from her dreams,
'Ladies
and Gen-
tlemen, we
are now approaching London Heathrow ... V/ill
you please
fasten
your
seatbelts
and extinguish all cigarettes. Kindly
refrain
from smoking until
you
are inside the tenninal building.'
When the
plane
landed
and
came to a
standstill
Clarissa saw that outside the
sun was shining
and the sky was clear. It was
going
to
be a
peffect
day.

Dear Jane,
Thanks
so
much ...
your
last letter. I had to fly ... Paris . .. ai business confer-
ence last week, and what a
terrible
journey
it turned out to be. First of all,
when
I arrived .,. the airport
I
discovered that
my flight
was delayed ... three
hours. . . . a
long boring
wait
I eventually
boarded
... my
plane.
I had to sit
...
...
a man who wouldn't stop talking.'To make
matters
worse, the
weather
was
so terrible
that
the
flight
was
very uncomfortable. Worst ... all, when
we
fi-
nally arrived ... Paris, I discovered that my luggage
was missing, along
.. . all
...
my important
papers.
I was furious when I
found
.... that it
had
been sent
...
Mexico Cify . .. mistake. Needless to say,
I
won't be travelling ...
that
air-
line again.
Lots
of love. Write soon.

you

Mrs Smith: Oh, my! How
