（A）
It was meant to be the holiday of a lifetime—my first trip abroad alone, without
my parents. I had organised everything myself and I would show them how independent
I could be.
I had arranged to stay in a farmhouse outside a village in southern Italy. My
schedule said that the plane would arrived in Italy at five o'clock in the afternoon
and it was a thirty-minute 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 the airport. My plane was three hours late taking off. I walked
around the airport, looked in the shops, and drank coffee in the cafes. I didn't eat
anything. That was a mistake! When the plane finally took off, they gave me a cold,
tasteless meal which I could not eat.
We arrived in Italy in the early evening and I was feeling lightheaded from the
lack of food. The sun was setting as I was collecting my bags! I missed it completely!
