The plane safely took off and Anna breathed a sigh
of relief. She ______________(DID NOT LIKE) flying. She knew that, according
to statistics, it was the
____________(SAFEST) way of travelling, but it
didn't make her feel any better. Statistics were impersonal but when she
imagined her plane flying over the ocean, she ____________(FELT) dizzy.
The guy sitting next to ____________(HER) was, on the contrary, happy
and relaxed. He was listening to his CD player. His eyes
_____________(WERE CLOSED) but when Anna tried to reach for her bag on the
luggage deck, he immediately stood up to help her. “Thanks, I can do it
_____________(MYSELF),” Anna said and her voice shook. “Are you OK, miss?”
the guy asked. “You look pale. Are you afraid of flying?” Anna
nodded. “Take this. It _____________(WILL DO) you good,” the guy handed her a
package of candies. “I always have candies when I fly.” It reminded
Anna her first flight. She and her granny ____________(WERE FLYING) to New York
for Christmas. The six-year-old Anna was cheerful and excited. She had a
large box of candies on her lap and was afraid of nothing. “I wish I
_______________(COULD) feel the same now,” Anna sighed and took a handful
of the candies. The guy looked at her in surprise.
