TOM'S STORY
My first overseas 4 trip was from New York to Paris. I first had to catch a plane to Heathrow Airport in London and then change to another flight. When I got off the plane at Heathrow I saw someone handing out cards to some of the passengers, but I didn't know what they were for, so I didn't take one. Besides, I was too. occupied trying to work out how to find where to catch the plane to Paris. When I tried to board the second plane they asked for my transit 5 card, which I didn't have. I then realized that was what the card was for. I showed them my ticket but-they said I needed to show them a transit card too. I was worried they were going to send me back to New York. Instead they made me wait while they checked everyone's air ticket, and then they let me0n'board. The plane was 30 minutes late leaving London and some passengers got very angry. After that! was always careful to notice what other passengers were doing and to ask someone if I didn't understand something.
SALLY'S STORY
I was going overseas on a Short holiday. I needed to take some medicine from the doctor with me. The pills were in a big bottle, so I counted out how many I needed for the holiday and put them into a small bottle. When I arrived at my destination, a customs 6 officer at the airport looked in my bag and found the pills. The officer wanted to know what the pills were for and why they weren't in their proper bottle with my name and the doctor's name on it. I explained that the bottle had been too big and heavy. Then he wanted to know if I had a letter from my doctor explaining about the pills. I didn't. I found out it was illegal 7 to have these pills without a doctor's permission. In the end a customs officer called my embassy 8 and the embassy telephoned my doctor. I didn't get to my hotel till after midnight and I was very stressed 9.
PAUL'S STORY
I was staying in a small village in Turkey. The countryside around the village was very beautiful so I decided 10 to go for a walk. I had been walking for about an hour and a half when suddenly I slipped 11 and fell down a riverbank. I hurt my ankle 12 and I couldn't stand up. I didn't know how I could get back to the village. I hadn't told anyone where I was going, so no one would know where to look for me when they realized I was missing 13. I began to worry that I might have to stay there all night. I had no water or food and no warm clothes. I was very frightened. Luckily, a couple of hours later, a young boy came past on a horse. He lifted me onto the animal and took me back to the village.
DONNA'S STORY
It was a very hot day so I put on some shorts and a T-shirt to go sightseeing. I hadn't gone very far when I noticed everyone was looking at me, and they didn't seem very friendly at all. One woman even spat 14 on me as I walked past. I decided to get off the crowded streets and so I turned left down a small, quiet street. I hadn't gone very far when I realized my mistake. Two men were following me. I started to run but suddenly my way was blocked by two other men walking towards me. Luckily for me a taxi came around a corner and I was able to stop it and jump inside quickly. On the way back to the hotel the taxi driver explained that this was a very religious 15 town and that the people did not approve of women walking around in clothes that didn't cover them properly.
