Summary:

Most people have experience taking a flight. But some people don’t like taking the flight. In the flight, many things will influence you. For example, some people speak too loudly and keep others awake affect others’ sleep. Baby’s cries also disturb people’s thinking. Too many people in the small space feel stressful. Many kinds of things will influence you. So how to take a comfortable flight is people’s desire. Since the 911 accident happened, all flights to United States require inspection at take a high level. However, high level inspection makes some people uncomfortable and inconvenient. So it reduces the number of people who want to travel in the United States. This is why people feel stressful in the flight.


Reaction:

I had lots of experiences taking flights. I enjoyed the flight, even if something bothered me. In the airplane, there is one thing I feel is uncomfortable which is the seat. We know the seats in the economy class are very small. If the passengers are taller than 6 feet and sitting on the seat, he will feel uncomfortable. So if airline companies have special longer seats for taller people, it would be great! This is my personal suggestion for airline companies. Anyway, I like fight in the sky and enjoy everything in the plane.

Summary:

This article tells us about aviation's development. In the past, people always used cars and boats for transportation, until the Wright brothers invented the first plane in the world. They really changed with people's lives and helped a lot. Then, people devoted themselves to developing the best airplane. Fast speed, less fuel and more power. These factors became the way for people to work for. So today, we have comfortable jetliners that can take us around the world. This is a great contribution for people.

When I first time took a plane to another country, I had a question in my mind. “ How can people build an airplane as big as king to fly in the sky?” Then, I found some books, newspapers and magazines to search for some information about planes. Something like history, news, model, and technology about planes, I am interested in. This is why I become an aviation fan. Anyway, airplanes are really convenient and useful for everyone. Whoever you want to go, plane always can take you to arrive there. So I enjoyed the flight every time I took it!
