A FLIGHT TO REMEMBER
Read the text below and decide which word, A, B, C or D, best fits each space.
I always remember the toy plane that gave us so much pleasure during a sunny summer
holiday on the coast of North Wales. We stood in a field (1) ………… the top of the cliffs,
and time (2) ………… again we hurled the little glider towards them, into the warm sea (3)
………. … . It always took a similar flight path, curling upwards, looping the loop above our
heads and landing in the grass (4) ………… us.
Gradually we became more daring. Each flight (5) ………… nearer the edge of the cliffs,
and the wind always (6) …………our little plane back. Finally, standing right at the edge, I
(7) ………… to hurl it seawards with all the power I could muster.
It (8) ………… out that I’d made the mistake of defying fate and the elements just once too
(9) ………. This time the plane failed to return. It darted downwards towards the waves
then levelled off a metre or two above the spray. Seagulls flew close to examine it as it
(10) ………… its unsteady way out to sea.
And that’s the last I saw of it. It (11) ………… into the distance, with only the flock of
inquisitive birds to tell me that it was (12) ………… in the air.
I suppose it soon came down and got torn (13) ………… by the sea. Even so, our main
(14) ………… as we turned for home was joy at having (15) ………… such a glorious final
flight.
