minute drive from the airport to the village. I wanted to get to my destination before it
got dark, so I could have a drink, watch the sunset, and enjoy an evening meal!

The problems began at Heathrow airport. My plane was three hours late. I walked
around the airport, looked in the shops, and drank coffee in the cafés. I didn’t eat
anything. That was a mistake! When the plane finally took off, they gave me a cold,
tasteless meal which I couldn’t eat.

We arrived in Italy in the early evening. The sun was setting as I was collecting my
bags! I missed it completely! I went to the desk to find my hire car and that’s when I
discovered the next problem. The receptionist couldn’t find my name on the
computer and there were no more cars. There were no buses or trains to the village,
and the taxis were on strike.

The receptionist felt sorry for me. She phoned her brother, Alessandro, who agreed
to take me to the village. Alessandro arrived in a very old car and we set off. Fifteen
minutes later … we broke down. I was tired, depressed, and very, very hungry.
Luckily, Alessandro was a mechanic. After an hour, he fixed the car and we started
driving again.

It was nearly midnight when we arrived at the farmhouse. A man opened the door
and smiled. ‘Come in,’ he said. ‘We waited for you.’ I sat with a group of the
friendliest people I’ve ever met and had an absolutely wonderful meal.

Example: It was the writer’s first trip to Italy.

A True      B False      C Doesn’t say   
1 He bought some souvenirs at Heathrow airport.
A True      B False      C Doesn’t say   
2 He had a snack at the airport.
A True      B False    C Doesn’t say     
3 He complained about the meal on the plane.
A True    B False      C Doesn’t say     
4 He planned to walk to the village from the airport.
A True      B False    C Doesn’t say     
5 His name wasn’t on the computer of the hired car company.
A True     B False      C Doesn’t say     
6 He couldn’t get a train to the village because they were on strike.
A True      B False     C Doesn’t say     
7 The receptionist asked a relative to help the writer.
A True     B False      C Doesn’t say     
8 Alessandro was a taxi driver.
A True      B False     C Doesn’t say     
9 When the car broke down, Alessandro phoned a mechanic.
A True      B False     C Doesn’t say     
10 There was no food for the writer at the farmhouse.
A True      B False    C Doesn’t say
