The story so far …
~ My Trip to Paris ~
Part 1: The start
Last month I wanted to go away for a long weekend. I decided to go to Paris because I could take the train from London and I’ve never travelled on the Eurostar. I booked the tickets and the hotel online and got a great discount so I was really pleased.
I had to arrive at the station half an hour before the train was going to leave because I had to check in and go through passport control. It’s really difficult to park in London so I decided to go by taxi. That’s where things started to go wrong!
Part 2: The cab journey
I took a long time to pack and forgot to book a taxi to the station. Instead, I left my flat and flagged down a black cab.
Unfortunately the streets were very crowded because there was an annual carnival that day! I was very tense as the taxi drove slowly along narrow back streets. Thankfully, I arrived at the station thirty minutes before the train was due to depart.
Part 3: Passport control
Luckily, thirty minutes was just enough time to go through the security check and passport control because the queue was short. At the security check, I opened my bag and took out my smart phone, my e-reader, and my toilet bag and put them into a tray. The security people passed the tray through their x-ray scanner. I walked through the metal detector and it made a “beep” sound!
“Oh, dear. It must my belt,” I said. I took my belt off, put it in another tray and then I went through the metal detector again. This time there was no sound.
I collected my things from the trays and put them back into my bag. Now all I had to do was go through passport control and get on the train. I started looking in my bag for my passport. Where was it? I remembered putting in my bag at home but now I couldn’t find it.
What was I going to do?
Thanks to Tamara for her idea.

Here is the idea of the story:
I looked in my bag for a while, however the passport was not to be found. I was so upset and looked up at the sky with put my hands on the hip. At that moment, I felt something with my fingers. “Here it is!” Fortunately, the passport was in my trouser’s pocket. I put it after I went through the metal detection. I felt relieved and went towards the passport control.
Since the queue for passport control was not so long, my turn had come shortly. I handed over my passport to the officer then he give it back in a matter-of-fact manner. Anyway, I passed passport control without any problems.
Now I needed to check which platform should I go. I tried to ask station staff about it.
