Activity 3 -Group work

14th July 1995 is a day I shall never forget On that day I stared death on

the face.

Our flight was due to leave at 11 a.m., and I arrived at the airport quite early

We got on the plane at 10.30 and the plane

took off on time The air-hostesses were just

beginning to serve our lunch when the

plane began to shake.

At first, we thought we were flying

in bad weather We were told to stay seated

and fasten our seat belts Then suddenly the

plane seemed to dip We realised we were

in danger Many people screamed in panic

We all thought we had only minutes to live.

Then, just when we had given up all hope, we felt the plane slowly gained

height A few minutes later the pilot

announced that everything was all right We

were all overjoyed and relieved One hour

later we landed safely

It was the most frightening experience of my life.
