about? What are you worried about? What methods can you adopt to help you cope with

these situations?

Terrified yet excited at the same time, Alice could just about make out her house and garden far below. It was the one surrounded by trees straight ahead, wasn’t it?

She took a deep breath and focused…

Can you continue the story about Alice and the hot air balloon? Will she reach the ground safely? Will she land in the right garden?
