ACTIVITY 1:
Not next to me
When you’re traveling by plane or train, there are some passengers you just don’t want to have next to
you...
A
Perhaps you normally like them, but when you are sitting next to them on a plane, it’s a different thing. They
usually spend the whole flight moving around and dropping their toys on the floor, when they’re drinking
their orange juice it ends up on your clothes. Then they decide they want to play with you, so you can’t have
the little nap. That you were planning.
B
You recognize this type as soon as you sit down. They immediately start talking about the plain, or the
weather, or they ask you a personal question. It’s very difficult not to talk to these people, and you’ll
probably have to continue talk until the plane lands.
C
These are the people with pale faces who sit down and immediately ask for a drink. Every five minutes they
call a flight attendant to ask if there are any problems with the plane. They also tell you about air disasters(
which you are not interested in!). The best thing to do is to pretend to sleep.
D
These people are not necessarily very big, but they have a terrible habit of talking up all their space, and some
of your space, too. They usually sit so that you can’t move, with their arms and legs in your space. They also
have a lot of hand luggage which takes up all the room in the overhead compartment.
