Video: ‘Designing an aircraft interior’

When you design a private jet what’s the most important thing to the customer? Well of course it’s the part that they’re going to see most often, the interior. That’s why most companies offer customised interiors for their private jets. If your customer is going to spend tens of millions of dollars on your jet, you have to make it look just right. In this video, Aviation International News TV takes a look at a customised Bombardier Global 6000 and how the manufacturer worked to provide its customer with exactly what he wanted.

Try to answer the following questions about the video and come back on Monday for the answers.

Structure: Word order with ‘happen’

This time in our structure help we talk about the word order of a sentence with the verb ‘happen’. This is a verb which students often put in an incorrect order when making sentences. In reality, it’s very simple. It’s the same basic word order as all our other verbs. Have a look at the diagram below and read the examples. Try writing some examples of your own and reading them out loud to help you remember them.

Text: Plane spotters fly

Here’s the text to the listening from yesterday.

Enjoy!!

A Boeing 777 backtracked along the runway to prepare for takeoff. After turning and without stopping, the plane accelerated down the runway and took off. There were two people watching the Boeing 777 take off from a public road beyond the airport’s perimeter fence. When the plane turned and accelerated they were blown away by the jet blast, fell over and received injuries. An ambulance collected them and took them to the hospital. They left hospital a day later with no major injuries.
