Answers
Explanation:
OF all the things I am not very good at, living in the real world is perhaps the most outstanding. I am constantly filled with wonder at the number of things that other people do without any evident difficulty that are pretty much beyond me. I cannot tell you the number of times that I have gone looking for the lavatory in a cinema, for instance, and ended up standing in an alley on the wrong side of a self locking door. My particular specialty now is returning to hotel desks two or three times a day and asking what my room number is. I am, in short, easily confused.
Lavatory: a room or building containing a toilet
Alley: a narrow passageway between or behind buildings
The author says that he is not good at doing many works at one time. He is amazed at people who do multitasking without facing any difficulty. Many times, he gets confused when he searches for the toilet in a cinema and lands up in a lane, from where he cannot enter the hall. When he checks in a hotel, he forgets his room number and goes to the reception many times just to confirm it.
I was thinking about this the last time we went en famille on a big trip. It was at Easter, and we were flying to England for a week. When we arrived at Logan Airport in Boston and were checking in, I suddenly remembered that I had recently joined British Airways’ frequent flyer programme. I also remembered that I had put the card in the carry-on bag that was hanging around my neck. And here’s where the trouble started.
en famille: French, meaning with one’s family
Easter: a festival in Christianity religion
The last time when he went on a family trip to England at Easter time, they reached the Logan airport in Boston. He had recently subscribed to the Frequent Flyer programme of the British Airways and had to get the card punched to avail the points. The card was in the bag that hung around his neck. As he had to take the card out, something happened.
The zip on the bag was jammed. So I pulled on it and yanked at it, with grunts and frowns and increasing consternation. I kept this up for some minutes but it wouldn’t budge, so I pulled harder and harder, with more grunts. Well, you can guess what happened. Abruptly the zip gave way. The side of the bag flew open and everything within — newspaper cuttings and other loose papers, a 14- ounce tin of pipe tobacco, magazines, passport, English money, film — was extravagantly ejected over an area about the size of a tennis court.
