The main reason for Angela’s trip was toMan: And today I’m talking to Angela Morgan. Angela, what made you decide to fly round the world in a helicopter? Woman: People often ask me why I decided to do it but I’m surprised they don’t ask ’Why did you wait so long?’ because I’m 57 now! I’m sorry I didn’t do it years ago, because it was such a wonderful experience. But the main purpose for going was to collect ￡500,000 for sick children by getting different companies to pay us money for each kilometre that we flew. Man: And now everyone calls you the flying grandmother! Woman: Yes, the thing about growing older is that you don’t feel any different inside, so you have to do as much as you can while you can. I’m healthy, and my own children are grown up, so I was free to go. Man: And what about preparing for the trip? Woman: Well, it took five months to plan. I was going to go with my husband, but he couldn’t take time off work. Instead I made the trip with my flying teacher who became a great friend while she was teaching me to fly three years ago. I passed my flying test after two weeks; found it quite easy. Man: And what was the trip like? Woman: It was really exciting flying over so many different countries. The only thing was that we weren’t able to spend much time sightseeing because we only stopped to get water and to camp. We took very little with us, but we did have tents and cooking things to use at night. We had to spend two days in Thailand because of an engine problem, but that was the longest we spent anywhere. Fortunately nothing else went wrong, so we just kept on going after that. Man: What did you enjoy most about the trip? Woman: The most wonderful thing about flying was seeing the differences in the countryside as we flew across 26 countries in 97 days. We flew over oceans and close to mountains; sometimes it was quite frightening, but we didn’t travel when it was dark. We spent several nights camping in the desert and the sky was just full of stars. I made a video of the trip; you’ll see it in a minute. Man: Was there anything that you missed while you were away? Woman: Well, to my surprise I didn’t miss going to work or going out to restaurants or films. The most difficult thing was sitting still all the time; I normally play tennis and swim several times a week, so I started to feel very unfit. I missed hot water and proper showers sometimes too, but not as much as I thought I would! make money for her business. make money for other people. have an exciting adventure.

Where will the woman go first after work? [*]One. Where will the woman go first after work? Man: Are you and Sarah going straight to the restaurant from work tonight? Woman: Actually, I’m leaving work early because I need to do some shopping in the market, and I’m going to meet Sarah after that outside the cinema. She doesn’t know where the restaurant is, you see. You’re praying tennis after work, aren’t you? Man: Yes. So I’ll see you at the restaurant.

This week’s programme is about the city of Glasgow. We’re going to give you some ideas of what you can see and do if you visit for a weekend. Glasgow is Britain’s third largest city, and Scotland’s biggest. It is well worth a visit. If you arrive by car, the motorway will take you into the city centre. Don’t park in one of the city centre car parks however, as they are expensive. It’s better to leave your car at your hotel or somewhere away from the centre, and take the bus. Glasgow is a large city and there is an excellent public transport system. A good idea is to catch a “Discovering Glasgow“ tour bus which leaves George Square every half hour. You can get off anywhere and catch the next bus to continue your trip. The tour costs ~5 and tickets are available from the bus driver. If you want to walk around the city centre, then it’s best to start at the Welcome Centre on St Vincent Place. You can get information about opening times and entrance fees of places to visit and take a free map to help you with your sightseeing. Don’t miss the fifteenth century cathedral, which has particularly beautiful windows. Further on is the Merchant City area, where there are cafes and lots of small, fashionable shops which sell jewellery and clothes. Byres Road is popular with university students and you can find a lot of bargains in the shops around there. The Botanic Gardens are also worth a visit. The gardens are open until sunset, and the glasshouses from ten o’clock until a quarter to five. These contain a wide variety of beautiful plants and flowers. The gardens are also a good place to have a picnic. Well ...

• Look at the six sentences for this part. • You will hear a conversation between a girl, Lisa, and a boy, Ben, about holidays. • Decide if each sentence is correct or incorrect.Lisa thinks you can enjoy a holiday without spending a lot.Girl: Hi, Ben! Only one more week at college, and then the summer holidays begin. Great, isn’t it! Boy: I don’t know. It might get a bit boring. I don’t think I’ve got enough money to go anywhere nice for a holiday this year. Girl: It would be nice to have lots of money to spend but a good holiday doesn’t have to be expensive! Boy: Oh yes it does! The best holiday I ever had was a few years ago when I went to Greece. I want to fly off somewhere hot, and lie on the beach and go swimming. Girl: Yes, well, I can’t afford to do that, either. Boy: So what are you doing this summer? Girl: I’m going on a walking holiday in Scotland with some friends. We went last year, and we really enjoyed it. We walked all day and spent the nights in Youth Hostels. Why don’t you come with us? We’re going for two weeks. It won’t cost much, and you’ll come home feeling really relaxed and fit. Boy: I’m not sure. Walking all day sounds like hard work to me. And surely you’re not hoping for lots of sunshine in Scotland? Girl: It did rain a bit last year, but most of the time it was sunny. Anyway, it’s not good walking in the heat. You have to stop all the time to rest and have drinks. Boy: Well, I like the sun, and I like to stay in comfortable hotels, not Youth Hostels! Girl: But they are comfortable. They’re basic, and the food’s often not very good, but they’re very clean and cheap. In fact I prefer them to hotels because the people are always so friendly. Boy: Maybe. Look Lisa, thanks a lot for asking me, but I think I’ll just stay home and get bored! 正确错误
