1. On the morning of her sixteenth birthday Lincey Ford got the present of a lifetime: a flying lesson. She was on holiday and that was going to be the best part of it. When her parents told her about that, Lincey couldn’t believe her ears. It was really great.
In the afternoon Lincey’s family drove to the airport which was rather far from the place where they lived.
A small plane waited for them.
Lincey took place next to the pilot.
Her dad and her younger sister Kelsey got into the passanger [‘pæsənʤə] seats. The pilot looked at their mum and said, “Your girls are going to love it.”
2. The pilot showed Lincey what she had to do. He told the girl that once in the air [eə] she could fly a plane.
Some time later the plane was in the sky. It was great. The girl was happy. She felt she was able to do it. But some time later they heard an alarm [ə’lɑ:] signal. The pilot said they had a problem because one of the engines [‘enʤɪnz] was not working.
3. Then the plane began to fall down to the ground. The girls didn’t know what to do. Somehow the pilot was able to get them to the nearest field [fi:ld], where the plane landed. The family got out of the plane. Linsey looked up at the plane and understood she wanted to have another birthday flight [flaɪt]. “I hope it will go better next time,” she said.
