Read the conversation and choose the right words to fill in the gaps.

Lisa: Hi, Mum.

Mum: Hi, darling. How are things? What are you doing?

Lisa: Just having (1) … glass of juice and relaxing at the airport.

Mum: Shouldn’t you already be at the check-in? Is your flight leaving on time?

Lisa: No, Mum, in fact my flight is cancelled.

Mum: Are you joking? Do you mean it’s delayed?

Lisa: No, Mum, all flights are cancelled. The check-in desks are closed.

Mum: I can’t believe it, Lisa. What’s going on?

Lisa: They say a volcano erupted in Iceland and its ash can cause plane engines to shut down.

Mum: Oh my God, really?

Lisa: Switch on (2) … news, Mum. You can’t imagine what’s going on here. The airport is a total mess. Stranded passengers are standing in (3) … endless queues with (4) … heavy luggage just to find out that they are not going to fly and that there’s (5) … further information available. Tired children are crying. A lot of passengers have nowhere to stay, but some airlines say it is not their fault that the airport is closed, and they are not prepared to pay for (6) … accommodation.

Mum: Where are you going to stay then? Have you got (7) … money left?

Lisa: Don’t worry, Mum. I’ve got enough. Besides, David is taking me back to his house in Canterbury.

Mum: But what if the planes start flying soon?

Lisa: Nobody knows when that will happen. The airport officials say there will be no change in the situation for the next 48 hours. Two days (8) … a long time.

Mum: But how will you get home? It’s your aunt’s wedding on Sunday, remember? And you have a very important test at school next Monday. My advice (9) … try to get to the continent by train or take a ferry.

Lisa: Oh, believe me, we’ve already tried everything. The Eurostar tickets are all sold out, ferries are getting more and more expensive and it’s impossible to rent a car — they’re all already taken.

Mum: All right then, just keep me informed, OK?

Lisa: Sure, Mum, I’ll let you know as soon as I get (10) … news.
