TRAVELLING BY AIR

Mary Brown's mother lives in Amsterdam. She can stand neither trains nor planes, that's why she never travels. Once in a while Mary goes to visit her. Sometimes during the holidays she takes both children with her. This time she decided to travel alone. She comes to an office of "British Airways" to book a ticket for tomorrow.

Mary Brown: Good morning. I'd like to book a seat on the plane for Amsterdam for tomorrow.

C.: Yes, madam. Do you want to travel economy class or first class?

M.: Economy class, please.

C.: I'll check the timetable for you. Just a moment... There is a flight leaving Heathrow at 11.55 tomorrow arriving in Amsterdam at 13.20. It flies non-stop.

M.: That suits me. What time do I have to get to the airport?

C.: You'll have to be at West London Air Terminal by 10.20 at the latest. The coach leaves for the airport at 10.30. But if you are going to the airport on your own you must be there before 11.30 and you can pick up your ticket at the airport booking office.

M.: Thank you. Good bye.

C.: Madam! Just a moment! I have some new information on my display.

M.: Yes... What's the matter?

C.: This flight is delayed. We've just had a message that owing to a dense fog all aircraft bound for Amsterdam has been deliv­ered to Brussels.

M.: Thank you for telling. I wonder how I can find out when it's really due to start.

C.: You can call Flight Information.

M.: Thank you.

Mary is on board the plane at last. It started from London with a several hours' delay. There is a middle-aged lady sitting next to Mary.

M.: Approximately at half past five.

L.: I thought we could reach the continent earlier.

M.: I don't think it is possible with the weather being so unfavourable.

L.: Want a cigarette?

M.: Thanks, I don't smoke.

L.: Good for you. I can't get rid of it, though I have been trying for ten years now. You can't teach old dogs new tricks.

M.: Too bad. If you want to take care of your health, you'd better give it up.

L.: That's exactly what my son says. Are you going to Amsterdam for the first time?

M.: No. My mother lives there. She got married to a Dutch businessman when my father died.

L.: Really? I am going to Amsterdam for the first time. It's a business trip. Our company imports tulip bulbs and flower seeds from Holland.

M.: I see. Hope you'll enjoy your stay in Amsterdam.

L.: Let's hope for the best. Look, we are landing!

M.: Looks like that.
