Sophia’s Travel Trouble (Oxford 3000 Vocabulary Series)
Estimated reading time: 1:03s
Sofia, a woman with a passion for travel, was preparing for a trip around the world. She packed everything carefully, making sure to weigh her luggage to avoid extra fees at the airport. As she was finishing up, she realized she couldn’t find her key. She started to worry because she needed it to lock her apartment door. Sophia thought for a moment, trying to recall where she had last seen it. She remembered having a glass of water in the living room, so she went there to look. She searched the couch cushions, the bookshelf, and every other possible spot. Just when she was about to give up, she decided to check under the rug. And there, buried beneath the rug, was a small, white object – her key! Sophia wondered whose careless move had caused it to slip under there. As she picked up the key, she noticed a broken wheel on her luggage. While she fixed the wheel, she felt a sense of relief wash over her. Finally, Sophia felt whole again, ready to take on her trip around the world.
