“I think we got hit by lightning,” the girl in the seat next to mine said. She was from a small town in east Texas, and this was only her second time on an airplane.

Among the many feelings going through my head during those excruciating 20 minutes was pride — pride in how well everybody on board was behaving. No one panicked. No one screamed.

An older woman offered him her box of expensive Lindt chocolates, still untouched, tied with a lovely bow. “I shouldn’t be eating them anyhow,” she said. My glamorous aisle mate took out her cell phone and passed it around to anyone who wanted to make a call to hear the reassuring voice of a loved one. Detailed reading10 Detailed reading 10

I am indebted to my fellow passengers and wish I could pay them back.

The Sichuan earthquake in 2008 really shocked me. It was in no more than a few minutes that thousands of people lost their lives. The death toll increased every day. I couldn’t help crying when I watched the scenes on TV. Lots of aftershocks happened; towns and villages were in ruins; survivors cried sadly for their dead family members and relatives; rescuers were busy and tired. What especially touched me was those little kids who showed bravery and courage when they were waiting for the rescue. I was also moved by the survivors and rescuers who were so strong and tough.

Consolidation Activities- Writing Choppy Sentences Choppy sentences are those that are too short. They are the result of using too many simple sentences. Although simple sentences are quite effective sometimes, overuse of them is considered poor style in academic writing and they can make your writing appear unsophisticated. With an intention to achieve sentence variety, you are encouraged to avoid too many choppy sentences in your writing, by joining them into either compound or complex sentences. Here’s an example: VocabularyTranslationIntegrated skillsOral activitiesWritingListeningGrammar

My husband always wanted to fly a plane. So once for Father’s Day my two daughters and I... made an arrangement for lessons with a local teacher... flying teacher. And I told them, “Now I can always get a new husband, but you can’t get a new father.” And so they said, “Well, maybe we’d better not give him those lessons,” but we did and he learned to fly and he bought his own plane. Well it was a twin-engine plane. And it would go... it could go as say three thousand miles at a shot, and without having to stop for gas. But then people can’t go that long, so we would fly just so far, like from California to Phoenix for instance and have lunch and get Consolidation Activities- Script Flying Your Own Plane VocabularyTranslationIntegrated skillsOral activitiesWritingListeningGrammar

Consolidation Activities- Script VocabularyTranslationIntegrated skillsOral activitiesWritingListeningGrammar oxygen in the plane and then fly on to maybe St. Louis and spend the night. And the next day, stop at Lexington maybe for lunch. And then that night we would be in Princeton to visit our daughter. So it was always great travelling across country in that plane. We had a house in Arkansas and we would fly there occasionally to check on it. And that was always very interesting landing there. The first time we tried it, the landing strip was between a lake and a mountain and the windsock was all worn out so we couldn’t see what way the wind was blowing except by looking at the waves on the lake. So that was entertaining trying to land in that little dangerous spot. But Arkansas is interesting that way.

Consolidation Activities- Script VocabularyTranslationIntegrated skillsOral activitiesWritingListeningGrammar And of course sometimes it could be quite worrying. I know on one trip back home we came into a storm. That was at San Bernardino and somehow we got caught up in snow. We were trapped and we didn’t know how to get out of there because we had the mountains between us and home. And we had to call on Edwards Airforce Base to get us over the mountains. Little things like that made it entertaining. And then once on a trip to Seattle, the landing gear light came on saying that it wasn’t working. And that way you don’t know if the wheels are down really because you can’t see under there. And we were coming home and it was a Sunday night and no one was at the airport so we

Consolidation Activities- Script VocabularyTranslationIntegrated skillsOral activitiesWritingListeningGrammar couldn’t fly by the tower to let someone see if the wheels were down. So we really had a kind of chance to land it. So we didn’t know if we were going to land on wheels or on the bottom of the airplane. So there were interesting moments like that. How did my husband put it? “You spend thousands and thousands of hours with just boring ordinary flying, punctuated by moments of sheer terror.” But we always made it. Sometimes I thought we weren’t going to, but it was fun.

2 We had to watch him getting weaker and weaker, while mum seemed even more energetic than before. She still had a job to do, shopping, cooking and running the flat. She was necessary. Dad felt superfluous. He died six years after they moved into the flat. I think he died in self-defence. He was the kindest and most generous man I have ever met. Yet I was never able to know him as well as I wished. He was reserved. I didn’t get near enough to him. He never spoke of the things close to his heart. Dad Had Lost Any Purpose in Life Text1 Text IIMemorable quotes 1

Text2 Text IIMemorable quotes Perhaps he couldn’t. I know that he loved all his children, but I think he loved me in particular. Yet because in our family outward signs of affection were never shown, because mum and dad never kissed us goodnight, because neither of them said how much they loved us, somehow I have never at any time been able to express my love for them. I was with dad on the night he died and I longed to be able to kneel by his bedside and say, “Dad, thank you for being so good to us. I love you, dad.” Every time I tried to I was overcome with embarrassment. I felt even at that time that he would think it wrong for me to try to clothe in words my private feeling.

After dad died, all of us rallied round mum. We thought that to have her children calling on her would be some sort of compensation. It was at first. I’d visit her twice a day and listen while she talked about her life with dad. Not for mum, a veil of silence over the dead. She would relate their lives and relationship together from the time she first met him. I think it was right that she did. The conspiracy of silence that so many relations adopt about the dead doesn’t help. It makes it appear as if those that are gone never lived. It was far better to talk about dad, to keep him alive in spirit. After all death is inevitable, it’s only the way there that is different. Text3 Text IIMemorable quotes 3

Text4 Text IIMemorable quotes The great thing about mum was that she had no regrets. She didn’t keep on about “If only I’d done this or done that.” All she wanted to do was relive their lives together. I remember once when Pat and I had been listening to her all afternoon, mum saying as we left, “Now that I’ve talked to you both I feel ten years younger.” And as we went down the stairs I said to Pat, “And we feel ten years older.” Yet we could both see the value it had had for her. It’s all very well for me to say that dad died in self- defence, that mum dominated and overshadowed him. Perhaps this was what he wanted,

Text4 Text IIMemorable quotes someone to make all the decisions. Up to the very end he adored mum and she him. Perhaps towards the end he wanted more quiet, but who are we to say. It’s only since he died that mum felt the need to talk about him; while he was there, her life was complete. For the next fifteen years mum seemed to grow even more energetic. When she was well over eighty she thought nothing of walking from Hove to Brighton and back. Often she’d start by waiting for a bus but if one didn’t come within a minute, she’d make an expression of disgust and decide to walk. She was always an impatient woman. 4

The thing that annoyed me, and I think my brothers and sisters, was that mum refused to allow us to compensate for dad. We tried so hard, visiting her, talking and listening to her, taking her flowers, chocolates and drink, but she’d always got her grumbles about how lonely she was. I used to say how fortunate she was to have five of us children and her grandchildren going so regularly to see her. She’d just grunt. Then I’d compare her lot with that of so many of the other old people who lived around her, many of whom hadn’t got anybody to care for them. Text5 Text IIMemorable quotes

“What have they got to do with me?” she’d reply. What can you say to a woman like that? Only agree with her that contemplating other people’s miseries doesn’t help you to bear your own. Mum resented that she was incidental in our lives; with dad she had been the only one. Text5 Text IIMemorable quotes
