Put all the parts of the passage in a logical order

The Worst Holiday in my Life

A. And this was the beginning of my problems. I woke up too late. I got to
the airport and I saw that I hadn’t taken my passport. I took a taxi home
and then back to the airport. I was very upset. I got on the plane. When I
came to France, people at the airport told me that my luggage was in
China. I didn’t have my clothes. I didn’t have my books.
I didn’t have anything.

B. That was too much for me. I decided to leave Paris and go back to
England. I phoned my friends in London, asked them to send me some
money and I bought a plane ticket for the next flight. Finally, I was back
home. When I arrived the travel agent informed me that my
luggage was in Paris.

С. When I came to the hotel, they didn’t have a room for me because I
hadn’t arrived on time. I went to another hotel where I could spend the
night. The night was really hot and the air conditioning was broken. I
couldn’t open the window because there was a very busy street outside
and the noise was awful.

D. Next day I decided to go to see Paris. When I left the hotel I went
straight to see the Eiffel Tower. Before I got there a man came to me and
pulled out a gun. He took all the money I had on me.

E. It all started in the morning two months ago. I always wanted to see
Paris, the cafes, the Eiffel Tower and Champs Elysees. So I bought a plane
ticket to Paris and waited for the day of departure.

text to your friend.
You have 1.5 minutes to read the text silently, then be ready to read it out
aloud. You will not have more than 1.5 minutes to read it.

People enjoy traveling, but what are their reasons they leave their homes?
There are several of them. First comes curiosity. Films about far-off
places, books and friends’ stories encourage us to undertake our own
trips.Education comes next. Learning through traveling is very popular. It
does not mean only visiting museums and admiring architectural
ensembles. It also means to get a glimpse of another life style. You can
never get that sort of knowledge from books.
And besides, there are people who just change places. Probably they have
problems at home and that is their way — rather to escape than to solve.
Others look for adventures. We are all different and and have different
motives for traveling.

1. curiosity — любопытство
2. encourage — побуждать
3. undertake a trip — совершить поездку
4. get a glimpse — ознакомиться
5. escape the problems — сбежать от проблем
