Yesterday John was supposed to take a 1_flight__ from London to Paris. He got up very early, put his luggage in the 2_boot_ of his car and tried to start the engine. It wouldn’t start. John lifted the 3_bonnet__ but he couldn’t see what the matter could be. He immediately called his local 4_garage__ to ask them to send a 5_mechanic__ at once. Fortunately, the garage had a man free and he was with John within ten minutes. He quickly saw what the matter was. ‘You’ve 6_run out_ of petrol’, he said. John felt very foolish. ‘Why didn’t I 7_check__ everything last night?’ he wondered. Despite all this, he got to the airport, checked in quite early and then went straight through to the 8_departure lounge_ to read a newspaper while he waited. Soon he heard an announcement. ‘Passengers on flight BA 282 to Paris are informed that all flights to and from Paris are 9_delayed_ because of a heavy snowfall last night.’ ‘If only I had decided to go by 10_train_’, John thought. ‘It would probably have been quicker in the end and even if I sometimes feel sick on the 11_ferry_ across the Channel, it can be quite pleasant sitting in a 12_deckchair__ on the deck, watching the seagulls and the other 13_passengers__. The galleys on a ship seem to produce much better food than those on an aircraft too.’
