and visas (were-are-was) ready. But right from check- (in-out-on) at the airport, things
started to go wrong. When we arrived it was too early for the departure time so we went to a
café (who- where – which) we got some rest and some refreshments. But just when we heard
the announcement calling our (fly- flew- flight), I realised that I forgot my handbag in the
check in desk. I hurried to get it back. But we could not reach our plane in time. We had to wait
till the morning to catch another plane. But as soon as we (leaned- lent- landed), it started to
rain heavily. So it was no way to go sightseeing. What’s more I went to our tiny room and turned
the heater on. But it didn’t seem to work. What’s even (bad- worse- the worst), the roof
started leaking. And I had (to spend-spend-spent) the night in mum’s bed. The next day we
wanted to catch a train to enjoy some sights. Unfortunately, the station was too crowded and I
(boarded- bored – abroad) the tube while mum could not. I was really scared and got off on
