| 1. The trip was a complete disaster. Everything went wrong-my plane was delayed on the way out and then my meeting was cancelled because the supplier was ill.
| 2. I don’t go abroad often, just an occasional trip to Head Office in Frankfurt.
|
| 3. I’ve arranged my trip to Milan for the first week in April. I’m really excited–it’s my first trip for the company and my first time to Italy.
| 4. The trip out took three hours, and I didn’t have to take a taxi from the airport because my supplier was waiting for me to drive to his office.
|
| 5. I had to cut short my trip–there was a crisis back at the office. The clients were very understanding and have agreed to meet me next month instead.
| 6.The trip was a great success. I made a lot of useful contacts. My boss was very pleased when he read my report.
|
| 7. I make frequent trips to our supplier in Poland. We do a lot of business with them and it means that I earn lots of air miles to use on flights for my family.
| 8. It was a one-way trip–from Paris I went to visit another supplier in Brussels instead of coming straight back to the office.
|
| 9. The trip back took much longer than I expected-the flight was delayed because of bad weather. My husband came to meet me at the airport but he had to wait for two hours before my plane landed.
| 10. I’ve cancelled my trip to Madrid–I’m too busy dealing things here at the office. We are going to reschedule for next spring when things are calmer.
|
| 11. I decided to extent my trip–I needed more time to visit my customers.
| 12. It was just a quick round trip–there and back in a day. But it was very tiring. I left early in the morning and got back late at night.
