6.Match the questions from the readers (1-3) with the pilot’s answers (A-D). There is one extra answer. Are You Afraid of Flying? Captain Tom Yates, a top pilot, answers your questions. 1. I have flown a couple of times and each time I got nervous when the flight attendant started talking about life jackets! Also, I was very afraid not long after take-off. The engines seemed to stop and I thought we were falling. I have been thinking about this a lot recently. Is this normal? 2. I'm getting married soon and during the last few months, my girlfriend Mary and I have been looking at places to go for our honeymoon. Mary has found a lovely place in Cuba and she has

1 been telling all our friends about it for weeks. There's just one problem - I've never been on an aeroplane before. I get claustrophobic and I'm terrified! 3. I used to fly when I was younger and didn't use to be afraid. I know flying is one of the safest forms of transport and I have done a lot to encourage my children to fly. But in the last few years, I've been getting more and more frightened about flying. In fact, I've missed many opportunities to see the world because of this. My children think I'm crazy! Am I?

a) No, you're not, you're just very imaginative! Many older people have written to me with this problem. Because you're older, you're more aware of things that can go wrong and this leads to physical tension. So, to stop this process, keep your mind busy – buy lots of magazines for the flight and take a walkman with several tapes – this will help you to stop imagining 'disasters'! b) We have been running a strict no-smoking policy for years and this has improved air quality on our flights for all our customers. So, when you start to get nervous, the best thing to do is to have some nicotine chewing gum. Whatever you do, don't smoke in the toilets! c) It's natural to be nervous when you do something for the first time. But let me tell you something – I wouldn’t do this job if it wasn't safe, and I've been flying planes for over fifteen years! As for the claustrophobia, get a seat near the aisle or near an emergency exit – there's more room there. So don't worry – enjoy your honeymoon! d) Yes, it is. After we have reached about 1,000 feet, we always reduce power to reduce engine noise — we have been doing this ever since the mid-90s to comply with noise pollution laws.
