It was a beautiful sunny day - perfect (0) ..for.. what I had planned. I left home with my parents and we drove 4) ..to.. the local airport, where we (2) ..had.. booked a trial flight.

It was getting dark and Ken turned on the light. On Sunday night the house was UNUSUALLY quiet. No noises from the kitchen, no little brothers screaming, no music or sounds of the TV; the house seemed DESERTED. His parents and the twins had left for the country but Ken refused to go with them. His dad liked fishing, his mum was a keen GARDENER but to Ken life in the country seemed BORING so he stayed at home. He thought that it would be fun, but it wasn't. Ken spent the whole Saturday playing his computer. Now he was QUIETLY sitting in the armchair and listening to the sounds from outside. He hoped to hear the car engine which would mean his family were home at last. LONELINESS was not a nice feeling and Ken was determined not to experience it again.
