Dear Tom

I’ve just arrived in Rome, but I’m still recovering from a really terrible flight. We  (1)were two hours late because of the bad weather, and then over the Channel we hit more bad weather. The  (2)flight attendant announced that we had to(3)fasten our seat belts, which was a bit worrying, and for half an hour we were (4)flying  through a terrible storm. It was still raining and very windy when we (5)landed in Rome and I was really glad to (6)leave the plane and into the airport building.

Fortunately, things have improved since then but I really hope the return  (7)flight is a lot better.
