Strangers Unite After Airplane Cancelled

Last month in America, an airline flight was cancelled. 上個月美國有一架班機被取消，不能飛。 Everyone thought they were going to be late! Until one very clever traveler, called Renee, had a very clever idea… 大家都以為他們將會晚到目的地，但名叫 Renee 的旅客想了一個好點子。 Instead of flying, Renee thought she and her daughter could drive home! Renee 覺得她跟她女兒可以開車回家！ Just then, Renee had another very clever idea! She knew there were lots of other people who wanted to fly too, but couldn't because the flight was cancelled. So Renee asked them all to drive with them! 她知道其他人也因為班機取消不能飛，於是邀請他們一起坐車！ Lots of people wanted to go, so they had to rent a huge van! One big enough for 15 people! 因為很多人要一起，所以他們最後租了一個可以坐15個人的超大廂型車！ So this big group of total strangers all agreed to travel together, from Orlando to Knoxville. 650 miles… or about one thousand kilometers! 他們從奧蘭多開到諾克斯維爾，一共650英里，將近1000公里！ It took them 10 hours, and they had fun the whole way, talking and laughing and playing silly games! By the time they'd arrived they were all best friends. 這趟旅程花了十個鐘頭，一路上玩遊戲聊天，到達目的地時他們都成了好朋友！ Everyone had a great drive, made lots of new friends, and they all got to Knoxville on time! All thanks to Renee, and her very clever idea. ________________________________ Vocabulary 這批乘客原本要從空中飛，卻變成在地上搭車，也順利達到了目的地。 1. cancel 取消 Oh, no!
