2 LINDA: Hello, Linda speaking. MATT: Oh hi, Linda. This is Matt Brooks. Alex White gave me your number. He said you’d be able to give me some advice about moving to Banford. LINDA: Yes, Alex did mention you. How can I help? MATT: Well, first of all – which area to live in? LINDA: Well, I live in Dalton, which is a really nice suburb – not too expensive, and there’s a nice park. MATT: Sounds good. Do you know how much it would be to rent a two bedroom flat there? LINDA: Yeah, you should be able to get something reasonable for 850 pounds per month. That’s what people typically pay. You certainly wouldn’t want to pay more than 900 pounds. That doesn’t include bills or anything. MATT: No. That sound alright. I’ll definitely have a look there. Are the transport links easy from where you live? LINDA: Well, I’m very lucky. I work in the city centre so I don’t have to use public transport. I go by bike. MATT: Oh, I wish I could do that. Is it safe to cycle around the city? LINDA: Yes, it’s fine. And it keeps me fit. Anyway, driving to work in the city centre would be a nightmare because there’s hardly any parking. And the traffic during the rush hour can be bad. MATT: I’d be working from home but I’d have to go to London one or two days a week. LINDA: Oh, that’s perfect. Getting to London is no problem. There’s a fast train every 30 minutes which only takes 45 minutes. MATT: That’s good. LINDA: Yeah, the train service isn’t bad during the week. And they run quite late at night. It’s weekends that are a problem. They’re always doing engineering work and you have to take a bus to Hadham and pick up the train there, which is really slow. But other than that, Banford’s a great place to live. I’ve never been happier. LINDA: There are some nice restaurants in the city centre and a brand new cinema which has only been open a couple of months. There’s a good arts centre too. MATT: Sounds like Banford’s got it all. LINDA: Yes! We’re really lucky. There are lots of really good aspects to living here. The schools are good and the hospital here is one of the best in the country. Everyone I know who’s been there’s had a positive experience. Oh, I can give you the name of my dentist too in Bridge Street, if you’re interested. I’ve been going to him for years and I’ve never had any problems. MATT: Oh, OK. Thanks! LINDA: I’ll find his number and send it to you.
3 MATT: Thanks, that would be really helpful. LINDA: Are you planning to visit Banford soon? MATT: Yes. My wife and I are both coming next week. We want to make some appointments with estate agents. LINDA: I could meet you if you like and show you around. MATT: Are you sure? We’d really appreciate that. LINDA: Either a Tuesday or Thursday is good for me, after 5.30. MATT: Thursday’s preferable – Tuesday I need to get home before 6 pm. LINDA: Okay great. Let me know which train your catching and I’ll meet you in the cafe outside. You can’t miss it. It’s opposite the station and next to the museum. MATT: Brilliant. I’ll text you next week then. Thanks so much for all the advice. LINDA: No problem. I’ll see you next week.

Sarah, when did you become interested in weather? Sarah: Well, I could actually read a weather map when I was ten! I remember we had really cold winters in my hometown that made travelling difficult, so I’d switch on the TV forecast to see when we’d have good weather. My science teacher was surprised how much I knew during our lessons on weather at school! Interviewer: And did your family encourage you? Sarah: My grandfather recorded the weather every day, but I was too young to remember that. It probably influenced my father, though - he became a science teacher. But my mum bought me special notebooks to record the weather, just like my grandfather had done, and those helped me a lot. Interviewer: And you started a weather club at your school. What happened there? Sarah: Well, my teacher asked me to help other pupils learn about the weather, so I started the club. The school already had a mini weather station, so we used what we found out from that to put in a daily weather diary – that’s now kept in the school library. And I found the information very useful for school projects I worked on! Interviewer: And your family’s hobby is sailing, isn’t it? Have you had any bad experiences with weather on your trips? Sarah: Well, one day we went sailing when the forecast that morning was for good weather. But we didn’t listen to it again later, which you should always do, because it changed, and we got caught in a storm. At least we were wearing our wet-weather clothes! But now I always watch the clouds to see if bad weather’s on the way. Interviewer: So what kind of job will you have in the future? Sarah: My friends think I’m doing this to get a job as a TV weather presenter, but I’d be too nervous for that! But I’m attracted by the idea of going to different countries to work. And there are good jobs working with international sailing teams, but I’m not sure if that’s for me. Interviewer: So finally, Sarah – what’s your favourite weather? Sarah: Well, everyone likes it when it’s sunny, and I do, too, but when it’s pouring down outside you get great grey clouds that are really beautiful, so I usually rush out in the wet! Fog is interesting, too, the way it suddenly appears, but it’s a bit dangerous, so I can’t say I really like it. Interviewer: Thanks, Sarah
