Departures and Arrivals

Have you ever traveled by plane?

What do you think of traveling by plane?

Can you tell us anything interesting about your trip (by plane, train or bus)?

 

1. Many people prefer to travel by air. This is because air travel is the fastest way of transportation. It takes the least time for one to travel by air from one place to another. Moreover, traveling by air is convenient and comfortable.

2. Here is the flight experience of a girl named Laura.

3. United Airlines Flight 37 is now boarding at Gate 15 for Chicago. All passengers should be on board. Laura checked her suitcase and hurried towards Gate 15. She walked down to the desk at Gate 15. The young man at the desk checked her ticket and showed her the way to the plane. Laura walked through the door and down a jet way. As she entered the plane, a stewardess smiled and welcomed her aboard. She found a seat next to a window and fastened her seat belt.

4. As the plane slid on the runway, Laura's heart began to beat a little faster. Even through she had been on many plane rides, she was always a little frightened when the plane took off and landed.

5. Soon after the take off, the stewardess began to explain how to use the oxygen masks. Then the pilot welcomed his passengers aboard. A few minutes later the stewardness began serving meals to the passengers. After she finished eating, Laura put her head back and closed her eyes.

6. Laura was awakened by a stewardness, and she told her that they were going to land. The time had really flown by. As she walked down the jet way and into the terminal, she saw her brother and sister in law waiting for her. She waved and hurried towards them. They picked up her luggage and walked out to the car. It was good to be back in Chicago!

7. But air travel has some disadvantage, too. For one thing, air travel costs a great deal. For another, passengers are worried about their safety during the journey.
