2. Write the summary of the book
When it began operating at the turn of the 20th century, the Orient Express carried members of Europe's royal families and rich business leaders from Paris to Contantinople, or Istanbul as Turkish city is now called. These days, this luxurious train still makes journey from Paris across Europe to Istanbul, but it does it once a year. Passengers come from all over the world and many are taking this special trip because they're celebrating a special or private occasion, with a desire to somehow recapture a lost age and to live an experience that has caught even the literary imagination, Agatha Christie who wrote that famous book, ' Murder on the Orient Express', for example.
The staff of the Orient Express knows all about providing first-class service since most of them have also worked in Europe's finest hotels and restaurants. However, when they join the train, they soon find that there are some significant differences between working in a hotel in a city, and working on this ' hotel on wheels'. Therefore, these days, planning for it takes an entire year though the six-day journey through seven countries happens only once every 12 months.
The people who travel and work on the Orient Express have a window-seat view of European passing before their eyes and a close up of a bygone era surrounding them. When it comes to a romance and adventure while traveling in style, it seems that none of the modern travel options of today can come close to a romantic ride on the Orient Express.
3. write your feelings about the book in details.
In addition to the annual Paris to Istanbul run, the Orient Express has offered a regular seasonal service between Venice and London for 20 years. Still, the staff seems to learn something new on every journey, and the organization and planning are constantly improving (P.20).
It must be a grateful service. If only I could take on the special Express!
4. Write the words, phrases or sentences that impressed you most in the book and explain why they impressed you. Or you could write your questions about the book.
It may be a long physical journey, but it's more than that―it's also a voyage into the passengers' owe imagination(P7).
Taking the luxurious train must be superb and beyond the imagination! (
