Why do so many people find the idea of spending their holidays in a foreign country such an (ATTRACT) one? I can think of nothing worse than waiting (PATIENT) in a crowded airport surrounded by irritating children for an aircraft to take you to a (DISTANCE) part of the world. I think that flying is a very (COMFORT) way to travel; the seats are too close together and you are (ABLE) to stretch your legs or move around with the same (FREE) that you can when you are on a train.

While he was living in Rome, he met a (PHOTOGRAPH) who showed him how to take (EXCITE) pictures. Terry had a (NATURE) talent for this and became fascinated by this art. He realised he had found the job of his dreams without having to study for (PROFESSION) qualifications.
