Speakout 2ndE - Elementary - Unit 9: Airport

heathrow airport is having a bad day hundreds of passengers can't fly because of a computer problem in air traffic control in terminal one things are getting worse more and more passengers are arriving some airplanes are leaving but many flights are cancelled everyone is hoping to find a flight some of the waiting passengers are having a snack while others are spending their time outside it's a hot summer day back inside the terminal it's getting hotter and hotter some people came here five hours ago i'm here with my grandmother and my parents and it's terrible for us

to wait here such a long time now we have to sleep at the airport because no hotel is available it's just terrible have a look at this improvisation at its best i'm glad they're sleeping now are we hoping to get to berlin soon people are still trying to find a flight i've had my son go on the internet my daughter being one cue maybe in the other queue and on the mobile all at the same time trying to get to amsterdam for 9 30 tomorrow morning after five hours queueing you really become really zen you

know here it's pretty calm the airport managers find an interesting solution to one of the problems garden chairs with the chairs to relax in some passengers are finding new ways to pass the time inside terminal 1 it's late at night after midnight and many passengers are still here waiting for their flight around 300 flights left heathrow that day but 319 flights were cancelled and over 500 people spent the night in the terminal
