2. Read and Prepare - Read the introduction and prepare to hear the audio.
Every day, over 25,000 passenger airplane flights are taken. That means a whole lot of people are flying through the sky at any given moment. Even though flying in planes is now almost as routine as driving a car, there’s still something amazing about it.
But airplane travel is also uncomfortable and annoying. From the cramped seats to the bad food (if you’re lucky enough to have food served on your flight at all), flying can be a pretty stressful and unpleasant experience. It certainly isn’t as easy as the birds make it look. Hear Jason and Amy talk about traveling by plane.

Jason: Have you ever flown first class?
Amy: Once. I got a free upgrade, and it was amazing.
Jason: Isn’t it?
Amy: It would be so much better if you could just fly first class, especially on international travel. They have those seats now that turn into beds.
Jason: They do?
Amy: Yes! They lie all the way down.
Jason: That’s all I want on a plane. It’s so miserable that I just want the time to pass as quickly as possible.
Amy: I know. I was on a flight recently that had so little leg room that even for me there was not enough leg room, and I’m a very petite girl.
Jason: Yeah.
Amy: And for a six-foot tall guy, it seems like so uncomfortable.
Jason: And I swear every flight I’m on has at least four babies.
Amy: I know.
Jason: At the same time though, I feel bad. Every time I’m on a flight and get really irritable and be like, “I just wish I was in a bed and not this uncomfortable seat!” I have to stop and go, “But I am flying through the air. That’s pretty miraculous.”
Amy: It’s true.

Discussion
Jason asks Amy if she has ever flown first class. She says she only got to fly first class once, and it was a great experience. She and Jason both wish they could fly first class all the time, especially on international flights. It would make airplane travel a lot more comfortable.
Jason and Amy talk about the different things that make flying uncomfortable. Often, there isn’t enough leg room on planes. Jason says it seems like there are always babies crying on planes, too. But he still thinks it’s amazing that we’re able to fly at all.
Do you like flying? What are the best and worst parts of airplane travel?

When I tried to explain to my children the nature of the origin of babies, they said: “Don’t tell. We already know it”. I asked where did you find the answer? They replied:”Dinosaurs have taught us” ( I had no idea that they were watching the documentary about the life of dinosaurs). So I asked again: “Explain me please how do you understand IT?”. They said: “Man should come close and lay on the back of woman ….”. |
