Conversation 1

  1. They almost missed the flight (they only got there 90 minutes before take-off). 
  2. There were huge queues at the check-in desk and going through security. 
  3. The flight was dreadful – really bumpy. At one point, it felt like the plane was going to crash. 

Conversation 2 

  1. Driving conditions were bad – it was dark and pouring with rain, so the roads were slippery. 
  2. They took a wrong turning and got lost, then it took ages to get back onto the right road. 
  3. They almost had an accident (a man in a big  car drove across in front of her and she nearly hit him).
