Level3-Unit1-Part2#Dialogue·Missing the Flight

知识点：错过航班，登机口，后补名单，交通阻断

Hi, I’m sorry to be late.

What happened?

You were supposed to be here an hour ago.

Yes, I know, but I missed my flight.

You missed your flight?

How did that happen?

I got on the wrong bus this morning, so I was late to the airport.

By the time I arrived, the gate was closed.

What did you do then?

I had to rebook my flight and get on the waiting list.

Oh, that’s too bad.

At least you got here.

Yes, it wasn’t easy getting on the nex tflight.

I had to run to the gate.

This kind of thing happens a lot lately.

Last week I missed a flight, too.

What happened?

There was a traffic accident near the airport.

You were driving?

No, I wasn’t.

I was in a taxi.

But it took a long time to get to the airport.

The traffic was stopped for nearly 15 minutes.

By the time I got there, it was too late toget on the flight.

The next flight wasn’t for another 3 hours,so it was a long wait.

From now on, I’ll try to get to the airport much earlier.

Me too.
