ClassX Video Lessons Youtube Channel Smile and Learn English Anna and her first trip – Stories for kids
Hello, I’m Monchi, and today is a super special day for my family. I’m feeling a bit nervous because it’s my very first time on an airplane, and I’m not sure what to pack. Will it be cold or hot in Brazil? I hope we don’t miss our flight!
Brazil is in South America, and it has a tropical climate, which means it will be hot. We have plenty of time to check in our luggage and choose our seats. A suitcase is a big bag where we keep our clothes and things when we travel. Grandpa gave us a cool travel guide to help us know what to see in Rio de Janeiro, a city in the southeast of Brazil.
Our family is getting bigger because a new baby will be here soon! Anna and David will have a new brother. We’re traveling by plane, which is a big and heavy machine that flies in the sky. Planes are one of the safest ways to travel long distances.
Finally, we’re taking off! The flight attendant showed us how to buckle our seat belts and use life jackets. Anna, how do you like flying? My ears feel funny because of the altitude. Why is the plane shaking? That’s called turbulence, which is when the air makes the plane feel bumpy. Just take deep breaths, and it will be over soon.
Look, Dad, the houses look so tiny from up here! We’re flying around 10,000 feet high. Maybe we can ask the flight attendant if we can see the cockpit when we land!
We’ve landed in Rio de Janeiro! I can’t wait to get our suitcases and go to the hotel so we can explore the city together. After we leave our bags at the hotel, can we go to the beach? Grandma said Copacabana Beach is beautiful. Dad wants to visit Tijuca National Park, and David wants to see Maracanã Stadium because he loves football.
Mom, we’re hungry! Can we stop at the food stand? Oh, look, they have tapiocas! Grandpa tried them and said they taste like pancakes and are really yummy.
What an adventure! Traveling with family is so much fun. Remember to always stay close to an adult when you’re visiting new places.
Pack Your Suitcase: Imagine you are going on a trip like Anna. What would you pack in your suitcase? Draw or cut out pictures from magazines of clothes and items you would take with you. Think about the weather in Brazil and what you might need for your adventure. Share your suitcase with the class and explain why you chose each item.
Map Adventure: Find Brazil on a world map or globe. Can you locate Rio de Janeiro? Use colored pencils to draw a simple map of Brazil and mark Rio de Janeiro. Discuss with your classmates what other countries are nearby and what ocean borders Brazil. This will help you understand where Anna’s adventure takes place!
Airplane Experiment: Create a simple paper airplane and see how far it can fly. Try making different designs and see which one flies the best. Talk about how real airplanes are designed to fly long distances safely. Discuss what makes airplanes special and why they are a good choice for traveling far away, just like Anna’s family did.

Hello, I’m Monchi, and today is a special day for my family. I’m nervous because it’s my first time on a plane, and I don’t know what to pack. Is it going to be cold or hot in Brazil? I hope we won’t miss our flight. Brazil is in South America and has a tropical climate, so it will be hot. Don’t worry; we’ll have plenty of time to check in our luggage and pick our seats.
A suitcase is used to keep clothes and personal belongings while traveling. The travel guide that Grandpa lent us is great! We’re flying to Rio de Janeiro, which is in the southeast of Brazil. The travel guide recommends popular places to visit.
The family is growing; a new baby will soon be here, and Anna and David will have a new brother. The plane is a means of transportation that is big and heavy, used for long-distance travel.

Finally, we’re taking off! The flight attendant explained how to fasten our seat belts and use the life jackets. Anna, how are you enjoying the flight? My ears are clogged because of the altitude. Why does the plane move so much? It’s turbulence, which are air currents that make the plane feel bumpy. Breathe deeply; it will pass soon.
Look, Dad, how small the houses look from up here! We’re flying around 10,000 feet. Would you like to ask the flight attendant if you can see the cockpit when we land?
