reading A Journey under the sea

from his wife

purely by chance

through a travel agent

by doing research

taking a risk

going abroad

flying on a jet

having a choice

They wanted to travel via the Channel Tunnel

It included to stay in a top-class hotel

It was cheap for what it offered

It allowed them to use The Metro and bus system

the tickets arrived late

they had to wait a long time on the platform

he thought the trip was a silly idea

he has worried unnecessarily

travelled so far below sea level

was unaffected by sea conditions

offered a convenient way to travel

used such a well-designed tunnel

He studied a business report

He looked at the other passengers

he read a novel about travelling

He wished the journey would end quickly

the trip from London to Paris took 3 hours

the train accelerates faster than Boeing 747

the train's top speed is 300 kph

Paris' city centre is busier than London's

He began to think more about the past

He saw the value of doing new things

He realised his journey was special

He saw that he needn't have worried so much
