- How was your trip to Great Britain?
- Wonderful! It was great experience for me.
- Were you there just for sightseeing or for studying?
- It was my first time there, so I wanted to see as many sights as possible. And, it
was an educational exchange, so I got to attend one British school with my friend.
- Did you stay at his place, while you were there?
- Yes, his family was so nice to have me for the whole month. They were my host
family.
- What did you see in London?
- First of all, we visited the Trafalgar Square and saw the Nelson's Column on it.
Secondly, we were at the Piccadilly Circus. It's my favourite parts of London. It is
especially beautiful at night I took many pictures of it.
- Which part of Great Britain do they live in?
- They live in Southampton - a city on the south coast of England. It's the largest
city in Hampshire county. I liked this place very much. First of all, the weather
was fantastic, while I was there. It was sunny and warm almost every day.
- Did you go there?
- Of course. We spent a couple of days in London, although I think that one should
live a month there to get acquainted with the whole city.

- Maria, what do you do??
- I work in a big shopping centre in Madrid. I am a telephonist.
- Where do you work?
-
My work place is a cubicle. It’s very small. There is a chair, a computer and a
telephone.
- It sounds very nice
-
No, it isn’t. Anyway, basically I answer calls all day. I get calls from customers,
but also, I have calls from suppliers about orders and deliveries.
- And do you like your job?
- Not really. The worst thing is that people think that I'm responsible for
everything.
- What do people say?
-
It’s horrible! They are always complaining about things and shouting at me. It’s
awful! Of course, I can’t hang up.
- Is it really hard?
- Yes. I suffer from stress. I really hate phone at home. It makes me jump
sometimes. I want to disconnect it but my husband needs it for work.
- What are you going to do?
-
I really don’t know. I smoke too much. I can’t sleep. And it’s all because of
phone.
