Photos from home ______B_______ TRANSCRIPT LISA: Homestay Language Learning; Lisa McDowell here. How can I help you? DAN: Hello. My name's Dan. LISA: Hello Dan. DAN: and I'm going to be living with a family in Edinburgh for three months, so I'd like some advice on what to bring with me. I'm flying in via Singapore on the fifteenth. LISA: Right. Well, perhaps most important of all are your documents: vaccination certificate, sponsor's
2 letter, and the certifying letter from us for immigration. DAN: Yes, I've got all those in order, I think. What I'm really wondering about are money and clothes, and things for my room. Personal effects, in other words. LISA: OK, let's start with cash. You'll already have money in your bank account here, of course, but make sure when you get here you have some cash on you. Pounds that is, not euros or dollars. DAN: How much do you suggest? LISA: I'd see fifty as an absolute minimum. DAN: OK. Now the next thing is which clothes to bring. What do think? LISA: Well, as I'm sure you know it can get pretty cold here, so you will need some warm clothing. There are shops near here that sell winter clothes quite cheaply, so you really don't need to bring much. Do make sure, though, that you have at least one thick sweater and a jacket with you when you arrive here. The temperature's likely to be a lot lower than in Singapore! DAN: Thanks for the warning! Now something else I'm not sure about is whether to bring my computer. It's a laptop, so it won't take up much room. LISA: Two problems. Firstly, it might not be compatible with the electricity supply in this country, and, secondly, there's a risk of it getting broken in transit. Someone traveling here had hers smashed only last month. DAN: But surely I can carry it as hand luggage? LISA: Usually, yes. But because of all the tight security right now you may have to check it in. So my advice is to leave yours at home. DAN: OK, I think I will. Is there anything else you'd advise against bringing? LISA: Well, you won't need household or cooking things. They'll all be provided. And importing food of course isn't allowed by customs though I imagine you already knew that. DAN: Well, yes. LISA: But there are one or two things I'd suggest you find room for in your suitcase. DAN: Yes. LISA: Perhaps a few of your favourite cassettes or compact discs. Of course, you might be able to find them in the shops here but then again you might not. DAN: That's a good idea. Anything else? LISA: Yes. Some photographs of people and places that are special to you could be nice. They can really make your room feel like home. It's just a thought. DAN: Hmm. I'll see if I've got a few good ones.

Marina, how did you get started travelling? MARINA: People often think that those who travel are running away from something. They're right. Age 24, I decided to run away from a dull job and a life that had grown stagnant. I set out to find something more though I had no idea what something more looked like. Next to a chance encounter, I met a woman in a café who had a humble sailboat and a dream of exploring the world. Against my better judgement, I decided on the spur of the moment to accept her spontaneous suggestion to join her (Q7) despite the fact that I've always had a morbid fear of deep water. INTERVIEWER: And you didn't regret it.
4 MARINA: At times I did. Especially at the beginning. But rather to my own amazement, I got used to putting up with all sorts of physically difficult situations. That voyage changed the course of my life. It turned me into a travel writer and an adventurer. But above all it made me an optimist. I couldn't have asked for more. INTERVIEWER: What made you get started in writing? MARINA: Oh, that happened a good while before I set off travelling and I was inspired to write by what I saw. At about twelve I wrote a little verse that included the line, people say I take after my dad. He went bald and grey in his twenties. Great. My mother stuck it on the fridge. People laughed and so began my passion for entertaining people with words. (Q8) I've never been one for keeping my thoughts private, I'm afraid. INTERVIEWER: As a travel writer, what's your biggest challenge? MARINA: My greatest passion in life is a midday sleep in a hammock. But people don't want to read about that. So in order to get a good story, I end up doing things that most people avoid due to their ridiculously high risk. But to be honest, the worst things, the fact that I constantly battle self-doubt over whether or not my work is any good (Q9), you really don't know till you get it done and others read it and pass their verdict. When you're penning your life story, it can't seem like you're being very self-indulgent. She's supposedly writing a masterpiece, but she hasn't bothered to brush her hair in weeks, my family say, and hushed whispers behind my back. Or they do in my imagination at least. INTERVIEWER: What advice would you give to someone who is considering going into travel writing? MARINA: Always assume that your travel experiences are only going to be interesting to your grandma. Attention spans are slim, and there has to be more than a description of what you saw. Nowadays, with all the other calls on people's attention, you have to work harder than ever to keep your readers engaged. How can you give universal appeal to your story? (Q10) How can you make it a page-turner? Can you make your readers laugh? Think of your travels like the backdrop to a greater story that grips the reader, not the story itself. After all, you're trying to grab the attention of an internet-obsessed generation, which means you've got a big job on your hands. INTERVIEWER: Thank you very much, Marina. Part 3: For questions 11-15, listen to an interview with the author of a new book on leisure time and activities and decide whether these statements are True (T) or False (F). Write your answers in the corresponding numbered boxes provided. 11. The author thought no one should be bored when so many leisure opportunities were on offer. T 12. Her children's enthusiasm for school holidays was short-lived. T 13. Her friend used to enjoy expensive leisure activities. T
