We haven't used the Hotel Riviera before but our normal one had a conference in it, so it was fully booked. When I announced our arrival at the reception desk, they said they were full. I had booked rooms for the group but the manager said they were cancelled by phone a few days before. He insisted that he recognised my voice and that I had made the phone call. We had a bit of an argument but they obviously didn't have enough rooms. In the end, the manager phoned the other hotels in the town and found rooms for everyone but in four different hotels.

Our flight was due to leave at 11 a.m., and I arrived at the airport quite early. We got on the plane at 10:30 and the plane took off on time. The air-hostesses were just beginning to serve our lunch when the plane began to shake. At first, we thought we were flying in bad weather. We were told to stay seated and fasten our seat belts. Then suddenly the plane seemed to dip. We realized we were in danger. Many people screamed in panic. We all thought we had only minutes to live. Then, just when we had given up all hope, we felt the plane slowly gained height. A few minutes later the pilot announced that everything was all right. We were all overjoyed and relieved. One hour later we landed safely. It was the most frightening experience of my life. - Past Simple:... - Past Progressive:... - Past Perfect:.......... VI.
