Hi! I'm Jack and I travel a lot, so I know airports well. It's a funny thing about airports. You have to (1) ... with a lot of time in advance, so you always think that there will be time to have a snack and do some shopping, but in reality you never have time to do anything.
The first thing you need to do is to find a (2) ... because your (3) ... is usually heavy and you can't always manage it all by yourself. But it's not always easy to find a trolley, and it's even more difficult to operate one. Many times I have run over someone's feet with my trolley. So in the end you ruin somebody's shoes and often get some very angry looks from the other (4) ... .
Then you have to (5) ... a huge queue to the (6) ... and when you finally get to it, you often discover that you've got (7) ... weight and they want to (8) ... you a lot of money for it. Then you try to (9) ... some of the weight. You (10) ... all of your magazines, sweets and some other personal items.
When you finally manage to check in, your next stop is the (11) ... . It usually (12) ... a long time, because there are so many people who don't get ready for it. They just stand in the (13) ... for twenty minutes and look around. Then they have to (14) ... their pockets, (15) ... their jackets and (16) ... their laptops. I don't understand why people look surprised when it's their (17) .... After all, it is always the same routine. Why don't they use those twenty minutes to (18) ...?
Finally, you look at the information board to see whether your flight is (19) .... If it is, then you usually find out that you are almost too late, so you run to (20) ... where you quickly show your passport and then go straight to the (21) .... But if the flight is (22) ..., you think that you don't have to hurry. So you sit down, enjoy a cup of coffee or even have a meal and then go on to do some (23) ... shopping. But when you check your flight information at the (24) ..., you notice that the (25) ... has already started. You panic and run quickly to the gate. They usually have something nice for you there too: either another security check or a huge (26) ... to (27) ... the plane. Airports really do drive me mad.
