Many people think that making a radio or TV interview is fun and interesting. But there can be problems. For example, you can be too nervous and forget what you want to say. Here is another kind of problem and it’s a true story.Listening textIt is Thursday and Greg has just come home from a radio interview on the “Today” programme. He is talking to his wife, Susan.
S: Hello. I heard you on the radio and it
all seemed to go very well.
G: Yes, it did as soon as we got started.
But I had a bad time before they
phoned me.S: Why? What happened? I thought
you’d fixed it all up yesterday?
G: Yes, I did. You remember I told you
that they didn’t want to phone me at
home because the sound effects were
better at the BBC radio station here
in Reading.
S: Yes.G: Well, I got up very early, as you
know, and went to the radio station.
I arrived before 6 o’clock in the
morning. They were going to phone
me at 6:15 to check all was well.
S: Yes, I remember that. So what was
the problem?G: When I arrived there, I expected
to find someone waiting for me.
But there was nobody there. The
building looked tall and old. It
had many windows but they were
all dark. They reminded me of
large, tired eyes.
S: Did they frightened you?G: No, not really. But I did begin to
get worried. I wondered if I’d got
the right day or the right time and
place. After all they said they’d
have someone waiting to let me in.
S: So you got anxious. Oh dear! Did
you ring the bell?G: Yes, I did. It sounded very loud and
echoed through the empty rooms. I
felt even worse. I was sure I must’ve
got things wrong.
S: But you hadn’t. I heard you on the
radio.
G: Yes. Just at that moment a man
appeared and he opened the studio
for me. As soon as I entered the room the
telephone rang. It was the newsman
from the “Today” programme.
S: So everything was OK after all?
G: Yes, it was. But I felt so relieved
when that man appeared. I really
thought I was going to miss the
programme. But once I was on the
air everything was fine.ListeningWorkbook (Page 66)You are the police officer and you must fill in this report about the fight between the British and the Turkish fans. Look at the form and then listen to the tape.Beijing, ChinaFight after a football matchFighting broke out between fans supporting the two teams.When the police arrived it was impossible to tell.
There was an eyewitness.Fred Smith says he saw the Turkish supporters throw bricks at the British supporters first . Then it developed into a serious fight with everyone involved.Fred Smith’s eyewitness account and his photographsIt was started by the Turkish supporters. The British fans were not in the wrong.Fred Smith’s photographs support his idea that the Turkish fans started the fight.Li DaThe Importance of Eyewitnesses
Zhou Yang (ZY) and his photographer Fred Smith (FS) are talking about a story they are going to cover.
FS: Did you hear the news? We’re going
to Albania to cover the international
football match. Listening text We’ll leave tomorrow and be away
for three days. I’m getting my
camera ready. Isn’t it exciting?
ZY: Yes, indeed, as it’s the Chinese
national team against the Russians.
Do you think we’ll win?
FS: I imagine China stands a good chance.
The team has been practicing hard
and did very well against Mexico last
month.ZY: Yes, they did. Did you go to that
match?
FS: No, but I went to the one in
Beijing when Britain played
Turkey. That was a good match
too. But the real problems came
after the match.ZY: Why was that?
FS: Well, our British fans were not
happy that their team lost. The
became even more upset when the
Turkish fans began calling them
rude names. I wondered if there
might be a problem so I got out my
camera and started taking
photographs.
ZY: What happened?FS: The Turkish fans went further and
started throwing rocks and bricks at
them. I just kept taking my photos.
ZY: Didn’t the police try to stop it?
FS: By the time they came it was a serious
fight. There were a lot of Turkish and
British fans in the street. They were
throwing chairs and tables at anyone
that came near them. It was terrible.ZY: How did it end?
FS: Well, after some time the police
started to take people to the police
station. They thought the British
fans had started the fight because
they had lost the match. Anyway
they have such a bad reputation for
fighting. But I was able to put them
right. I was an eyewitness and I had
the evidence of my photographs.ZY: Gosh. So it was lucky you were
there.
FS: Yes and it was lucky I had my
camera with me. Without it I
wouldn’t have been able to show the
police they were wrong. I went to see
them and told them what I saw. You
see now why it is so important to be
on the spot when something happens.ZY: Yes. You are able to get the right
end of the stick and show others
where they’re wrong. Did you give
a statement to the police?
FS: Yes, I did. I helped set many
British fans free.1. Complete the writing task.
