♦️ A Bad Trip Home
Last week my wife and I flew from Los Angeles to New York City for a wedding. Everything went well except for the flight home. We got to the airport in plenty of time. We got boarding passes and checked our bags with no trouble. The security lines weren’t bad. We had enough time for a relaxing meal in a fairly nice restaurant.
The plane started boarding at 3:30 for the 4 o’clock flight. The plane was packed. Right at 4 o’clock the captain’s voice came over the loudspeaker. He said there was something wrong with the plane and everybody had to get off.
It was almost impossible to get any information about what to do. We went over to a gate where there was a 5 o’clock flight to Los Angeles. We discovered that that plane also had a mechanical problem. They announced that our original 4 o’clock flight would leave at 8:45 pm. We signed up as stand-bys for a 6 o’clock flight and were given seats. We got into Los Angeles at 9 pm Pacific Time. Our luggage was on the original plane. The luggage was delivered to our house the next morning.

❇️ Reading passage
♦️ Earthquakes
زمین لرزه
What do you know about earthquakes? An earthquake is a shaking or trembling of the earth. Earthquakes can occur when huge blocks of rock deep in the earth crack or slip, or when lava or hot gases move around deep in the earth. Some earthquakes are very small. People hardly feel them and they do no damage. But some are so strong they split open the ground, cause buildings to fall, and kill people. The grid below shows some of the biggest earthquakes on record and the number of people who died as a result.
