Agony Aunt Em

Do you have something you want to get off your chest? Then let Aunt Em help you out!
Dear Aunt Em,

I’ve recently come back from a trip to the USA with my brother. We explored the USA in a camper
van and were having a great time until we reached Arizona and went on a helicopter trip to see the
Grand Canyon. My brother shouted to me over the noise of the engine, ‘‘Have you
ever seen anything so incredible?’’ Before I could answer, I heard the engine slow down and felt the
helicopter shake. I was terrified. We landed straight away and the pilot reassured us
that it was nothing serious. I’ve tried to forget about it but I haven’t been on an aeroplane and have
had a fear of heights ever since. Please help!
