Buying a Plane Ticket to Malta

شِرَاءُ تَذْكِرَةِ طَائِرَةٍ إِلَى مَالْطَا

فِي هَذَا الأُسْبُوعِ قَرَّرْتُ أَنْ أُسَافِرَ فِي إِجَازَةٍ إِلَى مَالْطَا. ذَهَبْتُ إِلَى مَكْتَبِ السَّفَرِ لِأَشْتَرِيَ تَذْكِرَةَ طَائِرَةٍ. قَالَ لِي الْمُوَظَّفُ إِنَّ هُنَاكَ رِحْلَةً يَوْمَ السَّبْتِ. سَأَلْتُ عَنِ السِّعْرِ وَكَانَ جَيِّدًا. قَرَّرْتُ أَنْ أَحْجِزَ المَقْعَدَ فِي النَّافِذَةِ. دَفَعْتُ النُّقُودَ وَأَخَذْتُ التَّذْكِرَةَ. بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ نَظَرْتُ إِلَى التَّفَاصِيلِ فِي الوَرَقَةِ. كَتَبُوا السَّاعَةَ الثَّامِنَةَ صَبَاحًا لِمَوْعِدِ الرِّحْلَةِ. شَعَرْتُ بِالسُّرُورِ لِأَنَّنِي سَأَذْهَبُ إِلَى جَزِيرَةٍ جَمِيلَةٍ. أَنَا مُتَحَمِّسٌ لِلْإِجَازَةِ فِي مَالْطَا.

English Translation

This week I decided to travel on vacation to Malta. I went to the travel office to buy a plane ticket. The employee told me that there was a flight on Saturday. I asked about the price and it was good. I decided to reserve a window seat. I paid the money and took the ticket. After that, I looked at the details on the paper. They wrote eight o’clock in the morning as the time of the flight. I felt happy because I would go to a beautiful island. I am excited for the vacation in Malta.
