AN INTERVIEW

 

Jane: (shouts) There's the platform for the Hook of Holland train¹, Robert.

Robert: And a crowd of youngsters. It must be them².

Jane: Well, let's find out.

Robert: Excuse me, are you the Polish students who've been visiting England?

Zbyszek: Yes, that's right.

Robert: I'm a reporter from the Daily Sentinel. I wonder whether you'd like to tell me something about your visit. Were you invited by the National Union of Students³?

Zbyszek: Yes, we were.

Robert: How long have you been here?

Zbyszek: Since last Monday.

Robert: And what have you seen during your visit?

Zbyszek: Oh, we've been to so many places. I really don't know where to begin⁴. First we visited Cambridge, then Oxford⁵ and Stratford-on-Avon⁶, of course.

Robert: Did you manage to get to the theatre while you were in Stratford-on-Avon?

Zbyszek: Oh yes, we saw “Twelfth Night⁷”.

Barbara: And in London we went to the Old Vic⁸. It was marvellous!

Robert: It's a pity you've had such bad weather. It's been raining almost every day since you arrived.

Zbyszek: That didn't really matter. After all, we expected rain when we came to England and we were quite disappointed we had no fog.

Robert: You'll have to come again one winter if you want to see a real London fog.

Barbara: We'd love to come again⁹. We've had such a wonderful time¹⁰ and everyone's been so kind to us.

Robert: Well, what did you like best in England?

Barbara: The underground. It's terrific!

Robert: And what about you Mr. er...¹¹

Zbyszek: Karlowicz. Zbyszek Karlowicz.

Robert: What did you like best?

Zbyszek: The Jodrell Bank telescope¹². I'm studying astronomy, you see.

Robert: Now, if it isn't too indiscreet a question, may I ask you what you disliked most?

Zbyszek: But really, we enjoyed everything¹³.

Robert: Nonsense! There must have been something you didn't like apart from the weather, of course.

Barbara: There was just one thing, you know - being woken every morning at seven with a horribly strong cup of tea with milk¹⁴.

Robert: I'm glad it wasn't anything worse.

Zbyszek: The train will be leaving in a moment. I'm afraid we have to say good-bye to the rest of our group now but Barbara here and I are staying a little longer, so we'll tell you more about our visit later.
