UNIT 2:
TRAVEL
A) LISTENING: Melanie’s story
B) READING: What business travelers want
C) SKILL: Exchanging the information at the airport
Listening
Look at the photos. What
is happening? What are
the people thinking and
feeling? Describe them in
as much detail as
possible.
Read and listen to Melanie's story. Match the photos
with paragraphs (A-C).
A
Our plane landed at Heathrow Airport. 1 We had been away for months and were now returning home for
Mum's birthday. We went through passport control, and collected our rucksacks. After backpacking round the world,
this was the easy part - or so we thought. We were pushing our trolleys through customs, when a customs officer
stopped us 2 and spent ages searching through our luggage. He must have thought that we were carrying drugs.
B
We needed to get to London to catch the last train to Cambridge. We went down to the Underground,
bought a ticket 3 and found out which train to get. The platform was unbelievably crowded, but we managed to
push our way onto the train. Halfway through the journey the train suddenly stopped. Then a voice announced that
there was a problem with the track and we would have to get off. 4
C
We climbed down from the carriage and were directed outside. 5 We decided to get a taxi to the station
instead. A cab pulled up and we got in gratefully. 6 It drove quickly through the streets but then came to a sudden
halt. Not again! There was a terrible traffic jam. The taxi driver suggested that it would be quicker to walk. 7 We
got out and started running to the station. We got to the train just as the guard was blowing his whistle, and
jumped on. It was the wrong train! 8 We ended up having to change at Stevenage 9 and didn't get home until
1.30 a.m.
