Version 1 - by Adriana and Eduardo (Inter 6)

Michael was looking forward to his business trip to Venezuela because he had a meeting with the president of the company. He was late leaving the house because he had not slept well, he had been very anxious, he had woken up late. The traffic was very slow from his house to the airport because of a terrible crash that had happened in that avenue. At the check-in, he had to accept a seat at the back of the plane because that was the last one that was available. The departure was delayed because on that day it had rained too much. As the plane was taking off, he suddenly remembered that he had forgotten his suitcase at home.

Version 2 - by Fábio and Ramon

Michael was looking forward to his business trip to Venezuela because he had dreamed of visiting Caracas, the capital of Venezuela. He was late leaving the house because he had visited the zoo in another city. The traffic was very slow from his house to the airport because the police had closed the street. At the check-in, he had to accept a seat at the back of the plane because he hadn't had enough money to pay for the first-class area. The departure was delayed because it had rained a lot. As the plane was taking off, he suddenly remembered that he had forgotten his son.
