Speaker 1
I’ve been driving for over ten years now and I consider myself a good driver. I’ll never forget the advice my driving instructor gave me way back then. She told me that driving was like life in that you always had to plan what you were going to do next, one step ahead of time. And I agree. She also emphasised that when behind the wheel, you had to keep a level head, no matter what. But you know, some drivers out there are just so rude.This man cut in front of me and even smiled at me as he went by. Well, I’m ashamed to say it, but I gave him a good long blast of my horn. I couldn’t help it, I was so angry.
Speaker 2
Ever since I got my driver’s licence three years ago, I have wanted a vehicle of my own. I’m not saying it hasn’t been generous of my parents to let me have their car whenever I needed it, but I’m fairly independent and I really wanted a car of my own. My dad suggested I got a used car as it would be cheaper and the insurance wouldn’t cost so much and I agreed. Actually, he and I went to the used car dealer together. I must admit I am rather impulsive, often doing things before thinking them through. Well, I fell in love with the first car I saw and I wanted it no matter what. Big mistake. So far, I’ve spent over ?2,000 on repairs.That’s almost twice what I paid for the thing in the first place!
Speaker 3
Let’s just say I’m the kind of person that tends to put off doing things. I always get things done, but usually in my own time. Slowly but surely, I’m beginning to realise that this characteristic of mine has to change.Take the other day for example. I was driving in the city centre when suddenly I got a puncture. Well, as the car rolled to a stop, all I could think of was my husband asking me if I had had the spare tyre repaired. I remember telling him that it had totally slipped my mind but that I would take it to the garage as soon as I could. Unfortunately, I hadn’t got round to it, so I ended up waiting two hours before someone could come and help me out.
Speaker 4
I’m usually the organised one in my family. I never forget anyone’s birthday and I always make sure I pay the bills on time. Anyway, it was the strangest thing - the insurance company I deal with always contacts me to let me know when my car insurance is about to expire.This year, though, for some reason they didn’t, and I hadn’t marked it on my calendar. I must admit I was rather redfaced when a policewoman pulled me over for a routine check and I discovered my insurance was three weeks out of date!
Speaker 5
There’s nothing I like better than going for a long leisurely Sunday drive. I never put much thought into where I’m going to go, though. I just get in my car and off I go. It’s like an adventure of sorts.Well, my mate,Angus, is one of those people that has to have everything mapped out before doing anything. It drives him mad that I never have a set route for my Sunday excursions. He has told me time and time again that one day I would regret not being more organised. I hate to say it, but he was right. Last Sunday I got caught up in road works and spent the next six hours trying to get back home.
Speaker 6
I’ve always had a good sense of direction and I learnt how to read maps at quite an early age, so I never dreamed that it could be a problem for anyone to get from A to B. If I was going on a long journey alone to a place I have never been to before, I simply noted down the main stages of the journey and set off - no problem. Then, when I got married, my wife and I decided to spend our honeymoon touring around France in our little sports car. She didn’t have a driving licence at the time so I suggested she do the navigating. She kept pretty quiet about the idea and it was only when we got off the ferry in France and I asked her for directions out of town that I realised that she had no idea of how to read a map. She was holding it upside down.

Тест аудирования:
I don’t really know what gave me the idea, but from an early age I was determined to be a lighthouse keeper. You know, a lot of boys my age used to say that they wanted to be engine drivers, but that never crossed my mind. I suppose that I must have seen some photographs of lighthouses somewhere, or perhaps my parents took me to visit one, I just can’t remember.
Of course, like a lot of children’s dreams, mine gradually faded and my life followed a more conventional pattern. It was only after I had married and had children of my own that I began thinking about it again. At the time, I was teaching biology in a good secondary school and we were living in a pleasant three-bedroom house in a smart neighbourhood - the sort of home that most people would be content with in fact.The problem was, I was just not satisfied.
I had never mentioned my boyhood dream to Susan, my wife, and it took me some time to summon the courage to raise the subject with her. I was afraid that she would laugh at me and tell me I was being foolish, but to my surprise she listened sympathetically. She went so far as to admit that she too found suburban life a bit dull.
We started researching the possibilities together. At first, I was disappointed to discover that becoming a lighthouse keeper was not going to be as easy as I had imagined. I hadn’t paid attention to the advances in technology which means that most lighthouses no longer have keepers in residence.They are automatically operated from control centres many miles away and receive only occasional visits from engineers for maintenance purposes. I was sure that my dream had been shattered.
But Susan is made of sterner stuff than me. She would not give up and kept making enquiries. It was while she was surfing the Net that she came across an article about Lundy Island in one of the on-line newspapers. Now, Lundy is a small island about twelve miles off the coast of Devon in south-west England and I had thought it was completely uninhabited. In fact, roughly 30 people live there on a fairly permanent basis. Some of these are volunteers, but at the time Susan found the article, the Trust, which runs the island, were looking for staff to help manage the tourist accommodation on the island. The salaries on offer were not brilliant, but free accommodation was included in the old lighthouse keepertasks cottage!
We talked it over with our two children, twins who were about to leave home and start their university studies, and they told us not to think twice about it.That very same night we sent off our letter of application and began the agonised wait to see what would happen. Well, you can imagine the relief we felt when we were invited for an interview but, knowing we still had a long way to go, we did not celebrate too much.We set about learning every detail we could about Lundy so that we would, hopefully, impress the interview board and I must say that the more we learnt, the more excited we became about the prospect of living there.
We have been living on the island for four years now and we have never looked back.We still own our house on the mainland, but I doubt whether we will ever live there again because life here is wonderful and we both get great satisfaction from our jobs. Susan has always been a good administrator and organiser and for me it is like being on one long field trip as I help tourists discover the rich wildlife of the island. It just goes to show that childhood dreams can sometimes lead to great happiness as long as you don’t give up on them.

Текст аудирования:
Interviewer: I’m pleased to say that we have Tom Williams with us in our studio today. Now,Tom Williams has built himself a very interesting home and he’s here to tell us all about it.Tom, thanks so much for coming.
Tom: My pleasure.
Interviewer: Well, first I suppose we should tell our listeners what is so unique about your house.
Tom: I must admit, my house is unique. I just love inviting people to come and see it. I always make a point of being at the front of the house when they arrive.The look on their faces never fails to amuse me.
Interviewer: You mean because they are amazed at how attractive the house is?
Tom: In part, I suppose. I mean, it is lovely, but that’s not what amazes them the most. What they really can’t believe is that the house is made of straw, but it looks so sturdy and well-built.
Interviewer: I see. So the house is very strong, but it was very economical to build, wasn’t it?
Tom: Yes, it was.And to tell you the truth, if I ever build another one, it will be even less expensive. The one I have just completed cost me about ?4,000 altogether. Through talking to friends, and now that I’ve had some experience, I realise I could have saved about ?1,000 if I had cut my own wood for the frame of the house. I didn’t think of doing that at the time, so I had the wood cut by professionals at the local sawmill.
Interviewer: Right. So ... going back to the strength of the house ... how strong can a house made of straw actually be?
Tom: Well, it’s all in the way it’s constructed. First things first, it’s very important to have a really good foundation, or base. I built mine with rocks. If you take time to fit the rocks together well, you won’t need to use any mortar to stick them together. You’ll find that once the bales of straw are placed on top of the foundation, they’ll be heavy enough to hold the rocks in place.
Interviewer: And then you build the walls?
Tom: No actually, not yet. Next you construct your floor.You won’t believe how easy it is. I used old wood to make a wooden frame and then nailed boards to that. Once the floor was completed, it was time to build the roof so that it was ready to put on as soon as the walls were finished. A friend cut some planks for me from a couple of fallen trees that we found in a near-by forest. Of course, I had to get permission to do that. Interviewer: So what about the straw? Tell me about that.
Tom: Well, I used rectangular bales of straw - 200 altogether. If you can believe it, each bale only cost me one pound.Then, after the bales were in place, I covered them in plastic sheeting. It’s very important that the straw stays dry. If moisture gets in, the straw will eventually rot.
Interviewer: So,Tom.We’re about to run out of time. So tell us ... apart from having a great place to live, what do you get out of all this?
Tom: Good question. You know, I do care about what effect I have on the world. Also, I am very concerned about how much people are spending on mortgages, rent etc. But most of all, I’m just proud of the fact that I’ve built something on my own. I feel so content sitting there in my straw house in the middle of winter. The snow is falling outside, and yet, I’m inside where it is quiet and warm and I can’t help but think, ‘Yes, this is what it’s all about.’
Interviewer: Well, thank you Tom for being with us today. You really have accomplished something incredible. Just one last question, though. Is there any way our listeners can contact you if they would like to find out more about building a house of straw?
Tom: Sure. You can email me via my website at www.tomsstrawhouse.com with any questions you have. It might take me a little while to write back because I’m getting a lot of enquiries these days, but I will write back eventually!
Interviewer: OK, once again, thank you very much for being on the show, Tom.
Tom: You’re welcome!
