Have you ever had a really bad day at work, college or when travelling?
Last year me and my family decided to travel to Cyprus. I was very excited at first, but, unfortunately, the day of our flight I got sick. I couldn’t swim in the sea or in the pool at all. I was really sad, but in the last days I finally got a chance to swim. That holidays weren’t as good as I expected, but I still had fun.

That reminds me of another story I heard about a man who had a lucky escape. He was at a barbecue restaurant on top of a mountain, and after the meal he decided not to take the cable car down with his friends, but to walk down instead. While he was looking for the path, he fell into a stream and broke his leg. Unable to move, he tried to phone for help, but his mobile wasn’t working because he had dropped it in the stream. Knowing he was missing, teams of people were looking for him, but it was twenty-four days before they found him. Luckily he had brought a bottle of barbecue sauce with him to the barbecue, and he had survived by drinking water mixed with the barbecue sauce.

1. We had walked about two kilometers before we realized that we had left the map behind.
2. We went for a walk when we had finished the meal.
3. The sun was shining. People were sitting on the grass in the park.
4. I had been exhausted after a long day at work, so I went to bed early.
5. Sam didn’t recognize me, even though we had met a few weeks before.
6. I locked the office door after I’d checked that everyone had gone home.
7. My parents first met when they were at university together. They were both studying history.

I’ll always remember the time we were struck by lightning when we were flying back from Singapore. We were in the air for about an hour, and the plane was moving up and down quite a lot. Outside you could see flashes of lightning across the sky and dark clouds. Suddenly there was a loud bang. At first a few people started screaming. But then the whole plane became strangely quiet. The pilot spoke to tell us we were about to land, which was a great relief to everyone. But just we landed, the whole plane started shaking violently again. In the end we landed safely. When we got off the plane, we saw that there was an enormous hole in the tail fin.
