Reading Comprehension Test    Flight Friends

In a busy airport, two people find themselves sitting side by side. Their flight is delayed, leaving them with plenty of time to talk. Both are tired from their efforts to reach the airport on time. They begin to share their stories, eager to pass the time.

One of them had taken a shuttle from the city center. They explained how the shuttle had made several stops, picking up more passengers along the way. It had been a slow trip with the bus filling up at each stop. They had watched the minutes tick by, worried about making it to the airport.

The other person had tried something newer, a ride-sharing service. They recalled how they had booked the ride with just a few taps on their phone. The car had arrived quickly, but the traffic had been terrible. They talked about the city streets, crowded and filled with cars, all moving so slowly.

As they talked, they found they had more in common than their delayed flight. They both enjoyed traveling, even if getting to the airport could be stressful. They laughed about the times they had run to catch a plane or the relief they felt when they finally sat in their seats.

During their conversation, they learned from each other’s experiences. The shuttle rider made a note to try ride-sharing next time. The ride-sharing user thought about how a shuttle might be more reliable in heavy traffic. They agreed that no matter the choice, leaving for the airport early was always the best plan.

Finally, the announcement came that their flight was ready to board. They gathered their belongings, glad to be moving at last. As they stood up, they exchanged names and wished each other a safe flight. With a friendly nod, they went their separate ways, each with a new story to tell.
