An exciting trip

Last September, George and his family went by taxi to the airport. They had tickets
to fly to another city to visit George’s aunt at her new flat. While they waited for
their plane, George’s parents had a cup of coffee, and his sister, Holly, went to buy a
magazine about pop stars to read on the journey. George just wanted to sit and watch
all the planes fly up and disappear into the clouds.
Soon, their plane was ready and after everyone found their seats, the man who
looked after the passengers came to speak to George and Holly. ‘My name’s Tom,’ he
said. ‘Here are some fun puzzles and quizzes for you to do.’ George was much more
interested in the video about travelling by air!
After a few minutes, Tom came back and said, ‘Your father told me you want to be
a pilot one day. Would you like to meet our two pilots before we leave?’ ‘Cool! Yes,
please!’ George answered, and followed Tom to the front of the plane.
The pilots let George see the different screens and maps and answered all his
questions. Then George had to go back to his seat. He loved his adventure so much
and now, he can’t wait to learn everything he can about being a pilot.
