I knew it was going to be a bad day when,on the way to the airport, the taxi driver told me he was lost。
I had booked my flight over the telephone, so when we finally arrived,I had to rush to the reservations desk to pay for my ticket .The woman at the desk told me that my name was not on the passenger list.It took fifteen minutes for her to realize that she had spelled my name incorrectly.She gave me my ticket and told me I'd better check in my luggage quickly or I'd miss my flight.
I was the last person to ger on the plane.
I found my seat and discovered that I was sitting next to a four-year-ole boy who had a cold. I sat down and wondered if anything else could go wrong.
I hate flying,especially take-off,but the plane took off and everything seemed to be all right. Then,a few minutes later, there was a funny noise and everything started to shake. I looked out of the window and-oh my God-there was smoke coming out of the wing. All I could think was "The engine is on fire. We're going to crash."
Almost immediately ,the captain spoke to us in a very calm voice,"Ladies and gentlemen. This is your captain speaking. We are having a slight technical problem with one fo our engines. There is absolutely no need to panic. We will have to return to the airport. Please remain seated and keep your seat belts fastened."
Well,you can imagine how frightened I was, but the crew were fantastic. The flight attendants were really calm and told us everything would be all right.
A few minutes later, we were coming in to land. The pilot made a perfect landing on the runway. It was over.We were safe.
That day, I decided not to fly again .I caught another taxi and went home. But as I closed the front door, I looked down at my suitcase. Somehow I had picked up the wrong one.
呃。。刚一着急给忘了。
