14. Describe a journey that went wrong for some reason
First of all I’d like to say that travelling is necessary for all of us, as it’s a kind of relaxation and a good opportunity to relax your body, renew your mind and refresh the spirit. Many people are keen on travelling and they look forward to going on a holiday just to escape a daily grind of work, day-to-day pressures and get away from usual sources of stress.
But journey is not always a fun. Sometimes it can even turn into hell. Fortunately, I don’t have such an experience, but I know people face the problem like this. Let’s take a lady, who had to go to Namur on a business trip. She was supposed to get there at 4 30 on Saturday. So, early in the morning she took a taxi and arrived at the station in advance having plenty of time. She decided to wait for the fast train, but about 10 min after the train was to have arrived the announcement came out that it was delayed. Because of this fact she missed her coach at Reading and had to wait for another one, which should have gotten her to the airport. But there were road works, as a result the coach was delayed quite a bit. When she eventually arrived at the airport, she was lucky to have only hand luggage, so she passed through the check in quickly and was almost at the departure gate when realized that her bag was left at the X-ray machine. The lady had to turn round, run there and pick the bag. Fortunately she passed the passport control successfully and rushed to the departure lounge just to know that her flight was delayed. The passengers had to wait for about an hour. But the woman was optimistic and was still able to be in time. After landing she became a little worried when saw a huge line at the passport control. And they waited, waited and waited. When she got out of the passport control a local representative, which was quite nice, met her. It was a real sign of relief when they boarded the through train and thought that nothing else could happen. But suddenly the train stopped and because of the bomb scare the passengers had to leave it. They waited for another one.
Eventually, the woman came to Namur 15 min before she was supposed to begin talking. She admitted that it was a really heroine experience.
15. Talk about a short trip to Edinburgh and what you can see there.
Traveling is necessary for all of us as it is a kind of relaxation and a good opportunity to relax your body, broadens our mind as well. Many people like visiting beautiful places and look forward to going on a holiday just to escape from their daily routine, even if their trip will be very short.
There are many fascinating cities all over the world. And Edinburgh is one of them. A coach tour of this city will take your breath away. On this tour you can see the castles, Edinburgh castle which is very beautiful and impressive indeed. And then from there from there you can go past the cathedral, St. Giles Cathedral and on down to Holyrood Palace. These places are really worth exploring. You can plunge into the atmosphere of history and mystery. After that you have an opportunity to visit the so-called “New Town”, that was built in the 18th century, and River Forth that’s about 10 miles from Edinburgh. One is a “Road bridge” and the other is a “Rail bridge” for trains.
The hub of the city is also worth visiting. Here you can catch a glimpse of marvelous buildings or just meander along narrow cobbled-stone street, searching for history or finding a treasury of new beauties.
There are also a wide diversity of shops in Edinburgh, where you can buy lot’s of woolens, sweaters, tartans, if you want to buy some Scottish.
So to sum it all up, I would like to say that it you have a burning desire to meet face to face with history and to get inspiration from traveling, Edinburgh is just for you. This city merits a visit.
