W: I must have dropped it when I took my travel card out.
M: You have to be more careful.
W: Yeah. Honestly, thank you. I’ve been so busy this morning, rushing between meetings. I wouldn’t
have noticed until lunchtime.
M: No worries. I’ve lost things on a bus before. It was really a horrible feeling.
W: You’ve saved me a lot of trouble. Let me treat you to a coffee?
M: That’s kind, but I have to hurry for a connection. Just happy I caught you.
W: Well, thank you. Really.

M: Hi, Layla. Do you remember me?
W: Hi, James. Of course I do! It’s great to see you. You haven’t changed much!
M: It must be nearly five years since we last met.
W: Yes. I left school in Year 10, remember?
M: Yes. You had to be in hospital for quite a while, didn’t you?
W: Yes. I was in hospital in Grimsby for one year. My parents thought the medical care there was
better. Since then, I’ve been taking online classes.
M: Is studying online better than being at school?
W: In some ways, yes. I can work at my own pace, and it’s much quieter. My grades haven’t suffered!
But I miss seeing people every day.
M: That makes sense. I’m doing my A-levels now at the college in town.
W: Oh, great. Do you still hang out with anyone from our old class?
M: A few of them. You should come to our meet-up next month.
W: I’d love to. Message me the details!
M: Will do. It’s really nice to see you again.
W: You too!

M: If you’d told me a year ago that I’d be jumping out of a plane, I’d have laughed. I hated
heights. It’s not the kind of thing I enjoy doing with friends! But something changed after my
grandad passed away from Alzheimer’s. I wanted to do something meaningful that could help others
affected by the same disease. So, I signed up for a charity skydive. I’d never even done a bake sale
before!
We watched a safety video and we jumped from 4,000 meters. The free fall lasted for one minute,
and we dropped at 200 kilometers per hour. I worked out that meant I fell roughly 3,300 meters
before the parachute (降落伞) opened.
It was peaceful. You’d expect panic, but instead I felt calm. Everything looked so small, and yet
