Two years ago, my friend and I decided to go on
holiday to Thailand. I had been studying hard all
year, so I was 1) glad to finally have a break.
As soon as we boarded the plane, I sat back in my
seat and put on my headphones. After a 2) tough
year at university, I finally felt 3) relaxed. Soon, I
would be sunbathing on a sandy beach, I thought
to myself as I drifted off to sleep.
Suddenly, a 4) loud clap of thunder ripped through
the air, jolting me awake. Then, the plane started to
rock violently from side to side. We were flying
through the middle of a huge storm! The lights on
board the plane began flickering and after a few
moments, everything went 5) black. "We're going
down!" screamed one passenger. It was a truly
6) horrifying experience!
After a few minutes, the plane finally stopped
shaking and the lights came back on. Everyone on
board breathed a sigh of relief. V usually find
lightning storms 7) exciting, but while
I was on that plane, it felt very
8) unsafe. I was so thankful when
we arrived at the airport several
hours later!​
