MY FLIGHT TO LONDON Dear Sylvia,
Last month was my first time to fly by myself. I was a little nervous, but it was
exciting! First, I (1)_____________ a taxi to the international airport terminal.
Then, I (2)_____________ at the check-in counter and (3)_____________ to the
departure lounge at Gate 64. I was early, so I didn’t have to wait a long time to go
through immigration and security. I (4)_____________ in the departure lounge for
about 25 minutes and then I showed my passport and boarding pass before I
(5)_____________ the plane. After I boarded the plane, I walked along the aisle
and (6)_____________ my seat, and then I (7)_____________ down and
(8)_____________ my seat
belt. I was lucky because my seat was a window seat, so I could look outside as the
plane
(9)_____________.
After
a
few
hours,
the
flight
attendants
(10)_____________ us dinner, and then I talked to the passenger sitting next to
me. His name was Leonardo, and I was surprised to find out that he was also
traveling to London to study English for the summer. Finally, I
(11)_____________ an action movie, and then our plane (12)_____________ soon
after that. It was a great experience, and I made a lot of friends during my six
weeks in England. I’ll e-mail you again after I fly back to Italy next Saturday. See
you soon!
Love, Adrianna
