I really hate flying. Once, something happened to me. When I
was on board, the plane started taking on. It seemed that
everything was all right. But suddenly I saw smoke coming from
the engine of the plane. The engine was on fire and the plane
started to rattle. Suddenly the captain said to us in very calm
voice. “Ladies and gentlemen, we are having a little problem with
one of the engines. There is no need to panic. Keep your seat
belts fastened. We are going to return to the airport.”
You can imagine how frightened I was, but the crew was
fantastic. The flight attendants were really calm and told us not
to worry. One of them told me to relax and said that everything
would be all right.
A few minutes later, we were coming in to land. The pilot
made a smooth landing on the runway. It was over, and we were
saved.
I took a taxi and went home. From that day on, I decided not
to fly anymore.
