Interviewer: Hi Jane! Can you tell our readers why you love living in Cape Town ?
Jane: Yes! Well, this June thousands of football fans came to our city to watch the World Cup. But there's more to the country than football. There are always fun things to do, day and night, especially if you are young. There are malls and coffee shops where you can just relax with your friends. We also have go-karting, ice-skating and dune-bashing.
Interviewer: What is dune-bashing? Can you tell me more about it?
Jane: Dune-bashing is riding three-wheel bikes through the sand dunes on the beaches.
Interviewer: What is the one thing I should see?
Jane: You should really go and see Table Mountain. You can see the city from up there. Take the cable car if you are not scared of heights. You will see a really cute animal that lives there — the dassie.
Interviewer: What kind of animal is it?
Jane: Actually it is quite small and looks like a large mouse. But although it just resembles a mouse they say that in origin it is closer to an elephant!
Interviewer: What other animals live in Cape Town?
Jane: If you are in the heart of the city, you don't have to worry about any of the animals, maybe, just stray dogs and cats. In the countryside you have to be careful — there are lions and leopards!
Interviewer: Is it true there is a lot of crime? Is Cape Town safe? Jane: Like in any big city, I wouldn't suggest walking around late at night but don't let that stop you from coming here. Interviewer: Is it really hot? Shall I bring all my summer clothes if I come in July?
Jane: No! In July it's winter here so I suggest you pack your winter clothes — but our winter isn't as cold as a winter in Europe, so a jacket or jumper will keep you warm on a mild winter's day.

Presenter: With us in the studio today we have the owner of famous British Vintage Inns. Good afternoon, Mr. Mitchell.
Michael Mitchell: Good afternoon, but , please, call me Michael.
Presenter: So, Michael, what is so special about Vintage Inns far Englishmen or tourists?
Michael Mitchell: I must say one of our greatest advantages is that we are in really prime places.
Imagine a summer`s day, a river gently flowing past as you enjoy a light lunch or a an evening meal with friends. Or, maybe, it is winter and you sit in front of a log fire. Our inns are always in a quaint village in the heart of the English countryside which makes it attractive for both nostalgic British people and enthusiastic tourists.
Presenter: As I understand, most of your inns have their own gardens.
Michael Mitchell: Yes, it is certainly true. They are every bit as pleasant as the places the inns are in – ideal for the meal in fine weather, which is, of course, seasonal.
Presenter: Still, competition is high in your sphere. Being not so close to centers of big cities, what do you do to make sure people will drive specially to you?
Michael Mitchell: Actually, I do nothing special to attract potential customers. You see, I do not have to as the inns are generally located in places worth visiting and mane are close to enchanting walks. Very often there is a Vintage Inns close to a stately home or historic village or another tourist attraction. What could be a better way to spend a day off with your family? Even London pubs cannot offer this.
Presenter: Any chain store ricks becoming boring for clients as they all look exactly the same. What do you think about this opinion?
Michael Mitchell: I`d like to say that every Vintage Inns is different, but they are all the same. All our inns will definitely offer the same high quality menu and standards of service. All our landlords and landladies share the same passion for getting it right. However, each Vintage Inns has its own unique character. You will discover thatched roofs, soft, natural slate, buildings of hews stone. There are Tudors, Georgian, Victorian and many more styles of architecture, including modern ones.
Presenter: What about food in Vintage Inns?
Michael Mitchell: What we offer is best described as leaning towards traditional home style cooking but with a contemporary twist. Still, we do allow the best of great food from around the world to add a little influence on what we do. Many of our dishes are our creation – and all dishes are designed to look temping and great on the plate.
Presenter: Is there a difference between an afternoon menu and an evening one?
Michael Mitchell: Well, on working days at lunch time you can choose anything from a range of sandwiches to full three- course meals. Our evening meals also offer lighter choices but includes fish, chicken, pasta, salads, steaks and pies too. On Sundays we include a choice of traditional roasts and puddings.

Jane: Hello Peter! What are you doing here in the library? I often come to the reading room, but I have never seen you here before.
Peter: Hello, Jane. That`s right – you could not have possibly seen me here. I come round to change my books or look through some journals now and then during the term time, but that is it. The end of the term is different, of course.
Jane: Why so?
Peter: Well, you know, the exams are coming and I am getting a bit nervous.
Jane: Have you missed many classes then?
Peter: Not many, really, but the fact is that I did just the bare minimum even for my major! There is a lot of information which went over my head completely. My group mates have lent me there notes but they are of very little use. They are really brief, as a rule, so I cannot make out a single thing of them.
Jane: So, you have missed not classes, but opportunities if I can put it this way.
Peter: I guess you can. Do you think I will be able to catch up with the rest of the group? I doubt it. I have been using my computer much to put all the information in proper schemes and tables but that does not seem to be helping much.
Jane: It is totally up to you! If you are determined to succeed, you will have to spend days and nights with books and your computer.
Peter: What worries me is the language course. It seems totally impossible.
Jane: Yes, that will be the most difficult one for you. You simply cannot expect to take it all the words and grammar rules in just a few nights.
Peter: Do you think I will fail it then?
Jane: Peter, be more optimistic! If the teacher sees you have tried to do at least something, she will appreciate it , I am sure.
Peter: Thank you, Jane; you are such a good friend. How about you? Are you ready for your exams? I bet you are!
Jane: Actually, I am not so sure about Literature. I think I am on the teacher`s blacklist for not meeting deadlines with some of the essays.
Peter: You will pass, do not worry!
Jane: Well, let us hope for the best!

For any celebrations you have so many people to give presents to: your mates, parents, relatives. It creates a problem of choosing an original present. I think everybody is so tired of traditional gifts! To my mind, the simplest way out is accessories. They are always different and can suit everybody. For family members it may seem a good investment if it is expensive enough and it may definitely help your friends look great at a party.
As for me, I dislike pragmatic, domestic gifts. They may be useful, of course, but when you get a present, you expect a surprise, not a new kind of washing powder. I do not understand people who are happy to get kitchen towels, cups, dishes or anything like that. If you do not have any innovative ideas, buy some perfume or flowers – they are not practical, they are pleasant.
Honestly speaking, I`d be glad to get a weekend camping tour even to a local place of interest. It would be best present and the worst is perfume. Perfume is the ultimate in personal gifts, even more then accessories. What scent a person chooses is unique and usually very subjective. It also looks like a last- minute decision which may seem impolite, unless you are absolutely sure in your choice, which, as I said is rare case.
Giving and receiving presents can be stressful. A picky person can dislike some gifts or even worse – give them to somebody else. Horrible! So I found a perfect way out – a gift certificate. For anyone who likes shopping it is ideal and you don` t waste time trying to find something special. But there are disadvantages about a gift certificate too. A person may think that you just didn`t want to be bothered and get offended, so it`s not a universal present after all.
If you can effort it, try not to give things, but experiences as a present. It is not necessary something very expensive. Tickets to the first night performance or to a new exhibition as an art gallery, or anywhere else will do fine. It is even better if you can go there together and share these experiences. Take a camera with you and take pictures. Such a present will leave long – standing memories which are dear themselves.
Living in a high – tech world, it would not be unusual to buy gadgets as a present. If your friend commutes, it can be an iPod, if your friend is very busy – an electronic organizer will be an excellent idea. There are millions of choices and they are not expensive either. Such a present can show the person exactly how much thought you put into choosing the perfect gift taking into account his or her way of life and needs.
