The ferry was very late so the backpacker had to sit in a hot waiting room for hours. He felt dirty- even the passport in his pocket was wet with sweat! Finally, when he arrived at the island, he wunted to huve u shower und chunye his clothes. But when he looked in his backpack he saw that everything needed to be washed. Then he had an idea. He took all his clothes off. Then he put them into a washing machine and he put his swimming trunks on! ‘Brilliant! ' he thought. But when his washing finished there were lots of bits of paper stuck to his clothes. It was his passport! He'd forgotten to take it out of his trouser pocket! 2 I recently went on holiday to Paris from London with my mum and dad. We took the train through the tunnel to France, then, when we arrived, we got a tram to a street near our holiday flat. We were carrying lots of luggage with us so we were really tired, but when we went inside, we couldn't relax. The flat was filthy! There was food left on the sofas and no one had made the beds. We were angry that the flat wasn't ready for us, and we started to clean the mess up. When we finished throwing all the old food away and doing the other cleaning, I brushed my teeth and turned the lights off - I wanted to go to sleep. Suddenly another family came into the flat. ‘We're staying here! ' they said. We checked our map again and found out that our flat was next door! We'd cleaned the wrong place! 3 A tour guide was showing my family around a town in Thailand, when a monkey ran up to me, took my guide book and went to sit down on the roof of an ambulance that was parked nearby. I shouted ‘Give it back to me, you awful monkey! ' but it ignored me. Then the tour guide shouted something to the monkey in Thai. The monkey dropped the book and ran away. ‘Why didn't he listen to me?' I asked the tour guide. ‘Well, ' the tour guide explained, ‘the monkeys here don't understand English. '

Pupil's Book, Unit 4 page 48 How we got back from our holiday Chapter One This was our first trip with CHRONOS AIRWAYS and we were having a great time already. Everyone at the airport was so charming and cheerful. ‘Good morning, ' said the man behind the check-in desk to the people in front of us. ‘When are you travelling to?’‘250 BCE - Ancient Rome! We can't wait to see the Gladiators, can we, Derek! ' Once they had their boarding passes and a copy of CHRONOS's own Guidebook To Time-Travelling, the pair walked off to duty-free, laughing. It was our turn. ‘Good morning. When are you travelling to?’‘Everywhen! ’ said my sister, Carla. ‘We've got round-time tickets, haven't we, Billy?' While the man behind the check-in desk looked at our passports, I read the information on the screen behind him. Our flight was due to take off at 9: 45. We were going to travel back in time six hundred years to the age of the Samurai and the Ninja. This would be much better than another boring holiday at the beach! ‘Good morning. This is your captain speaking. Welcome to this NinJet time-flight to Feudal Japan. At the moment we're flying through the 20th century at a speed of 10, 000days per hour - the year is 1998. With the wind behind us we may even reach our destination of 1415 earlier than expected. The weather's looking great in Heian-kyo today - perfect for those holiday photos. Before we land, please turn to page 10 of your guidebooks, where you'll find the rules of time-travelling with CHRONOS AIRWAYS. I wish you a pleasant flight. ' ‘Who wanted cheese?’ As usual when we got somewhere, the first thing Dad thought about was food; but the picnic wasn't what I was thinking about. ‘Are you sure they can't see us?’‘Remember what the man at the check-in desk told us, Billy, ' said Carla. ‘Travellers can't be seen by the people of the past or future. '‘But these samurai and ninja are so close. ' ‘It's OK, ’ said Mum. ‘The only thing we've got to worry about is catching our flight to the Triassic to see the dinosaurs. ' But Mum was wrong. That wasn't the only thing we had to worry about. The pilot was looking at his shoes. I didn't know what he was trying to tell us. ‘What did you say?’ said Dad. ‘Start from the beginning, ' said Mum. ‘We've uh . . . ' said the pilot. ‘Yes?’ said Dad. ‘Run . . . out of . . . time-travel petrol. ' ‘Meaning?’ said Mum. ‘We're stuck in Feudal Japan. ’‘Stuck! ’ said Dad. ‘Stuck, ' said the pilot. Dad dropped his sandwich. Mum went white in the face. I felt a bit sick in my stomach. But Carla remained calm and smiled. ‘We've got a problem, ' she said. ‘So all we need is a solution. ' She took the Guidebook To Time- Travelling out of her backpack. ‘And I think there's one on page 12! ’

Pupil's Book, Unit 4 page 50 2 Listen and read the text. Check your answers to Activity 1. Amy johnson was born in Hull (UK) in 1903. She fell in love with planes when she was young and when she grew up she took flying lessons while studying to be an engineer. At this time, some pilots were breaking records for long flights around the world. So, Amy decided to fly from England to Australia alone and to break the record of fifteen days. It was difficult for Amy to get the money for her trip because people thought that a woman couldn't do it, but she was determined. Amy's plane was called Jason and she took off on 5th May 1930. Amy had to fly across high mountains, deserts and seas and through bad weather. Flying in the 1930s was noisy, cold and dirty. She flew for ten hours every day and at night she had to find places where she could land her plane for the night. When Amy landed one evening, her propeller was broken. She changed it but it took her a long time. She knew she couldn't break the record, but she didn't give up. She flew and flew across the Timor Sea and suddenly, there it was! Australia! Nineteen and a half days after leaving London, Amy Johnson arrived at Port Darwin. Amy didn't break the record but she showed the world that women could be pilots too. Did you know? The first passengers in a hot-air balloon were a duck, a cockerel and a sheep.
