How to e Fears of Flying
If you are afraid of flying, there are specialists who can teach you how to deal with your fears and finally get rid of them.
They will find out if a nearby airport has special training programs for people who are afraid to fly. Many airports do. How would such a program work?
First, a specialist will take your group to the airport to watch the planes take off and land. A representative from one of the airlines will explain how an airplane flies. Then your group will sit in an airplane that stays on the ground. At a later time, you will go up in a plane for a short flight and then land. Gradually the time you spend in the air will increase. When you are prepares for it, the group will take a trip to another city.

III. Listening In
Task 1: Fear of Heights
Tony: Hey, Mary, some of us in the Outdoor Club are going camping this weekend. You interested?
Mary: Gee, I don’t know… where’re you planning to go?
Tony: Up into the mountains… We want to take advantage of the nice weather while it lasts.
Mary: The mountains… you mean climbing them?
Tony: Sure, many places have interesting mountains, but the ones here are the most beautiful I have seen—and only a few hours’ drive from here.
Mary: If I were to go, I wouldn’t appreciate the view. I’d have my eyes shut tight all the time. I’m
Scares stiff of heights.
Tony: You’ll be missing out on a lot of wonderful views.
Mary: Oh, Tony, I really prefer to stay at the foot of the mountain.
Tony: That’s Ok, Mary. Come anyway. You can skip the climbing—just stay in the camp and cook
and clean up for us.
