Help me please ! read the text again and answer the questions. 1. what three things did the writer want to do that evening? 2. what didn't he eat on the plane? 3. why didn’t he see the sunset? 4. why didn’t he travel to the village by bus? 5. when did he get to the farmhouse? __ i arranged to stay in a farmhouse outside a village in southern italy. my itinerary said that the plane arrived in italy at five o’clock in the afternoon and it was a thirty-minute drive from the airport to the village. i wanted to get to my destination before it got dark, so i could have a drink, watch the sunset, and enjoy an evening meal! the problems began at heathrow airport. my plane was three hours late. i walked around the airport, looked in the shops, and drank coffee in the cafés. i didn’t eat anything. that was a mistake! when the plane finally took off, they gave me a cold, tasteless meal which i couldn’t eat. we arrived in italy in the early evening. the sun was setting as i was collecting my bags! i missed it completely! i went to the desk to find my hire car and that’s when i discovered the next problem. the receptionist couldn’t find my name on the computer and there were no more cars. there were no buses or trains to the village, and the taxis were on strike. the receptionist felt sorry for me. she phoned her brother, alessandro, who agreed to take me to the village. alessandro arrived in a very old car and we set off. fifteen minutes later … we broke down. i was tired, depressed, and very, very hungry. luckily, alessandro was a mechanic. after an hour, he fixed the car and we started driving again. it was nearly midnight when we arrived at the farmhouse. a man opened the door and smiled. ‘come in,’ he said. ‘we waited for you.’ i sat with a group of the friendliest people i’ve ever met and had an absolutely wonderful meal.
