英语流利说 Level 4 Unit 2-2 Missing Aircraft

Do you have any more information about the location of the missing aircraft?

No, we don’t. The only information we have is that it disappeared.

What about the last communication with the aircraft.

The last communication was about 15 minutes before it disappeared.

Was there anything unusual in the communication?

No, there wasn't anything unusual.

Nothing pointed to any kind of problem.

Anyway, we are confident that we will find it.

It’s a large aircraft so it shouldn’t be difficult to find.

How many countries are helping with the search.

Right now, we have search teams from 3 countries starting the search.

It’s a big area to search, so can you give us an estimate about how long it will take.

Yes, it’s a big area so it might take a long time.

But we won’t give up.

We will search until we find it.

（They plan to search for it until they find it.）

Have they found the wreckage yet?

What are you talking about?

You know, the airplane that disappeared last year.

Oh, yes, now I know what you are referring to.

Yes, they found some piece of it.

What about the black boxes.

No, they still haven’t found the black boxes.

It’s hard to believe they still don’t know what happened.

Perhaps they’ll never know, especially if they don’t find the black boxes.

Whatever happened to it, there is not good reason why a modern airline is allowed to disappear.

I agree with you.

（It's been missing for about a year.）
