2 Reading and Writing B
READING 1 Read the extract from a travel book and tick ( ) A, B, or C.
I arranged to stay in a farmhouse outside a village in southern Italy. My itinerary said that the plane arrived in Italy at five oclock in the afternoon and it was a thirtyminute drive from the airport to the village. I wanted to get to my destination before it got dark, so I could have a drink, watch the sunset, and enjoy an evening meal! The problems began at Heathrow airport. My plane was three hours late. I walked around the airport, looked in the shops, and drank coffee in the cafs. I didnt eat anything. That was a mistake! When the plane finally took off, they gave me a cold, tasteless meal which I couldnt eat. We arrived in Italy in the early evening. The sun was setting as I was collecting my bags! I missed it completely! I went to the desk to find my hire car and thats when I discovered the next problem. The receptionist couldnt find my name on the computer and there were no more cars. There were no buses or trains to the village, and the taxis were on strike. The receptionist felt sorry for me. She phoned her brother, Alessandro, who agreed to take me to the village. Alessandro arrived in a very old car and we set off. Fifteen minutes later we broke down. I was tired, depressed, and very, very hungry. Luckily, Alessandro was a mechanic. After an hour, he fixed the car and we started driving again. It was nearly midnight when we arrived at the farmhouse. A man opened the door and smiled. Come in, he said. We waited for you. I sat with a group of the friendliest people Ive ever met and had an absolutely wonderful meal.
