WRITING
1. Give a good literally translation. Airport paralyzed
The great fog belt was moving over almost the whole of England last night, after a day of chaos when trains were delayed, planes grounded and racing cancelled.
Visibility was down to eight yards in some parts of London.
Traffic in many areas of London was virtually paralyzed as vehicles crawled at 5 miles per hour.
Not one airliner of about 250 services was able to land or take off at London Airport last night. At Gatwick Airport fog lifted for about two hours, and 15 airlines which had been circling London were diverted to Gatwick and landed.
During one hour more than 1,000 passengers crowded into the Gatwick terminal building. Hundreds more were kept in their airlines until the congestion in the building had eased.
