Never Ever Before

Jim: ‘Tonight I’m flying to Dublin, and I’m a little anxious about it because I’ve never travelled by plane before.
I’ve watched a few videos about fear of flying, but they haven’t helped much.
My mum says she had the same feeling about her first flight, but after trying some of the tips,
she’s become accustomed to it. I hope the flight goes well.’

Valentina: ‘In 2013 a terrible train crash happened in Spain, and lots of people died.
I’ve never tried fast trains because I saw the videos of the crash when I was a little kid.
Last month my friends wanted to travel by rail,
but I went alone by bus because I was terrified by that video at a young age.
My parents tell me that trains are safer, and they’re right.
There have been more bus accidents on the roads than train crashes.’

Carl: ‘I really want to travel by ship, but it looks like we’re not at the time when sea travel is common.
Travelling by car or by plane are more convenient and cheaper.
Maybe when I have enough money I can take a cruise to different parts of the world.’
