‘That’s
not possible. I can’t remember. Oh, this is stupid. I can’t even remember my name.
This is terrible. What’s wrong with me?’ (p.30)
A family is enjoying their private flight
above Wahiba which is near the Arabian sea. Suddenly, their plane falls and
crashes, which injured the family. The father starts finding someone because they
are in desert and can’t use radio at all. He is keeps walking, but
unfortunately gets faint. He is rescued by the residents in the Island and
after several days, he wakes up, but he can’t remember who he is, where he
comes from, and what he does. At the same time, his wife and son get weaker and
weaker in the desert. Can he help his family? Also, are they still alive? I
thought this story has few explanations at a first part and there are lots of
conversation like movies. Therefore, it’s easier to imagine the story.
This is Cambridge English Readers series. I’ve read this story many times
and every time I read it, I rediscover some new information and enjoy it again
and again. I want you to read the same story many times and find out tips.
