Everybody of us is afraid of something. Our fears always bother us to leave how we want. Our fears make us to forget about who we are.
The fear is one of the strongest human’s feelings. But we must overcome this feeling. And our life will change. It’ll become happier!
Перевод текста:Каждый из нас чего-то боится. Но страх всегда мешает нам жить полной жизнью. Страх заставляет нас забыть о том, кто мы на самом деле.
Страх - одно из самых сильных человеческих чувств. Это чувство необходимо полностью побороть. И тогда, в конечном счете, мы поймем, что наша жизнь изменится. Она станет счастливее!
Объяснение:
I had a wonderful trip to Odessa. Odessa is a beautiful city, but it is very far away. My family decided to fly the plane. We got up early because the flight was at 9 in the morning. We took bags with us and drove to the airport. Since this was my first flight, I was very worried. After checking in, we went to wait for our flight. We waited a long time. While we waited for an advertisement, we learned that our flight could be canceled. My family and I despaired and began to pack up when they suddenly said that an error had occurred. We were all happy and went to the platform. The controller looked at our tickets and said that this is not the platform. It turns out that our dad mixed up the planes, but we were lucky and we managed to board. The trip began with takeoff, how terrified I was when we took off. I was so scared that I grabbed my father's hand. But soon we took off and there was no problem with take-off. 1 hour after takeoff, the stewardess approached us and said that the plane was entering the turbulence zone. It was the most terrible 15 minutes of my life. We were very shaken. After this horror, I became ill. After that, nothing happened, we safely landed and got off the plane. Odessa is a beautiful city and I liked to relax there. On the way back, there was nothing terrible, since I was already used to it. And so it ended my fun trip on the plane.
