Unit 2: PERSONAL EXPERIENCES Unfor gettable Experiences Interviewer: This is Radio 3. In our “Unforgettable Experiences” programme tonight we talk to Christina, a successful businesswoman. Hello Christina, welcome to our programme. • Christina: Hello and thank you! It’s nice being with you tonight. • Interviewer: Christina, could you tell our audience about the most memorable experience in your life? • Christina: Well, my most unforgettable experience happened thirteen years ago, when my house burned down. • Interviewer: Really? How did it happen? • Christina: The fire started in the kitchen where I forgot to turn off the gas stove. • Interviewer: What were you doing at that time? • Christina: I was sleeping when I was suddenly woken up by terrible heat. I opened my eyes to find myself surrounded by walls of fire. • Interviewer: That’s terrible! How did you escape? • Christina: I was terrified. Then I heard my mother’s voice calling my mane. I rushed to her. She carried me out. Luckily, I got away without even a minor burn. • Interviewer: Not many people are so lucky. Did the fire affect you in any way? • Christina: Oh, yes. Yes, very much, in fact. Although I lost many things in the fire, the experience helped me grow up. • Interviewer: What do you mean? • Christina: Well, before the fire, I was selfish. I always complained to my mother about how small my room was, or how few clothes I had. Then the fire came and destroyed everything we owned. But I slowly began to realize that I didn’t really need my odd things. I just needed my family. After all, you can get new clothes anytime, but a family can never be replaced. • Interviewer: I see, so the fire took many things from you, but it gave you some thing, too. • Christina: Exactly. It taught me to appreciate my family more than things. AFTER YOU LISTEN  Before gettings Ss to discuss, Teaches Ss some useful expressions of asking for and give opinion. Example:  a.
