Текст аудирования:

— We know that British people like doing things outside work and spend a lot of time on their hobbies. We’ve asked Ms Sandra Wilson to come to our studio and tell us more about how the British relax. Good morning, Ms Wilson and thanks for coming.

— Please call me Sandra. I’m glad to have a chance to talk about hobbies as it’s one of my favourite topics. Besides, they are really an important part of British lifestyle.

— Have you got a hobby, Sandra?

— I’m afraid I’m not original: my favorite pastime is gardening. As the weather in Britain is fairly mild, British people manage to do gardening almost all the year round. In fact, no matter how small their garden is, the British can always find something to do in it. My garden is not big but I mow grass in it every Sunday morning. To outsiders it may seem to be a kind of obsession but to a British person it’s an important social duty.

— What plants do you grow in your garden?

— I don’t grow vegetables. In my little garden there are two old apple trees, some shrubs and four rose bushes. I enjoy the rose bushes most.

— What other pastimes are popular in Britain?

— Walking is very popular. Ask any British person if they have a pair of walking boots and the answer will probably be yes. They are useful for walking in the countryside. Walking as a leisure activity has a long tradition in England. You can buy a variety of maps and guides to walking routes. Organized walking is also popular and is a good way to discover local sights of interest with a group of like-minded people and a guide.

— And what about cycling? Cycling seems to be 0ne of the most popular hobbies in a lot of European countries today.

— Absolutely. Cycling is another popular activity. Unfortunately, many British roads are very busy and don’t have cycling paths, so cycling can be a bit dangerous in Britain. Anyhow, many people find quiet country roads and spend their holidays exploring their homeland on their bikes.

— Extreme sports seem to be the latest craze all over the world. Is the situation the same in Britain?

— Yes, extreme sports like rock climbing attract young people. Have you ever heard of extreme ironing?

— No. What is it?

— People compete at who can do their ironing in more extreme conditions: mountains, rivers, roofs of tall buildings, busy streets... These are only some of the places people choose for their competitions. The contestants are judged on both the extremity of the location and quality of ironing. Who knows? Extreme ironing might eventually become an international sport.

— I’m afraid our time is up. Thank you, Sandra, for your most interesting story.
