The cancelled trip
Oh, let me tell you about our trip. Did you know that Sara is afraid of be
flying? We had arranged it with her family to go to France for a few days.
I have always wanted to see Paris and would love to live in there one day.
Well,we got to the airport and Sara appeared being nervous. I asked her if
she was okay and she said she was fine, so we continued on to our way.
We went through passport control and I could see so that Sara wasn’t
keen on going any further. Just then,a voice announced:’We regret it to
inform passengers that Flight 114 to France is been cancelled.’That was
our flight! Sarah said she was glad because of she was too frightened to
fly anyway! So, we all went to home. That was the end of thattrip!
