WORK PLACEMENT

        FINAL TASK

        Last month, I did a work placement in Leeds. One day, I had to travel to visit a customer in Birmingham. But this day was not like the other. In fact, because of a very bad weather this day turn into a terrible adventure.

The snow storm was very violent but I had to go to the airport. It was 6 am when I left my hotel. I tried to take a taxi but because of the heavy snowfall the traffic was down and I didn't find a taxi. Then I decided to walk to the airport. So I arrived at 10 am at Leeds Bradford International Airport, I wad tired, my clothes were wet and I saw that all the flight was cancelled !  

One hour later, I decided to go to New station street, the railway station which is in the center of leeds. There was around 8 miles to go to the station and usually, every 20 minutes the bus gone there. However, due to the icy road, there was only one bus and we were over 100 people ! I was trying to take the bus when I fell down but a very kind man helped me to get back on my feet. We made the ride together and the 3 hours of bus seems to make 10 minutes.

At 3 pm, we arrived and saw that there was a train in only two minutes ! We were running to the platform when the man, called John, fall down too ! He got back on his feet and we took the train. I was very hungry so we ate during the ride.

In spite of hazardous conditions, we reached to New station street Birmingham alive but tired. Me and John took a separate way and I was trying to find a taxi when he ran toward me to give me his phone number. It was a terrible day but I met a friend.

Finally, I arrived at 6 pm to my appointment but the customer was not here. All that fuss for nothing, it was clearly not my day.
