Yesterday John was supposed to take a 1____________________ from London to Paris. He got up very early, put his luggage in the 2___________________ of his car and tried to start the engine. It wouldn’t start. John lifted the 3___________________ but he couldn’t see what the matter could be. He immediately called his local 4______________________ to ask them to send a 5______________________ at once. Fortunately, the garage had a man free and he was with John within ten minutes. He quickly saw what the matter was. ‘You’ve 6_____________________ of petrol’, he said. John felt very foolish. ‘Why didn’t I 7______________________ everything last night?’ he wondered.

Soon he heard an announcement. ‘Passengers on flight BA 282 to Paris are informed that all flights to and from Paris are 9______________________ because of a heavy snowfall last night.’
