Christina, a successful businesswoman. Hello Christina, welcome to our program
Christina: Hello and thank you! It s nice being with you tonight’
Interviewer: Christina, could you tell our audience about the most memorable experience
in your life?
Christina: Well, my most unforgettable experience happened thirteen years ago, when my house
burned down
Christina: The fire started in the kitchen where I forgot to turn off the gas stove
Interviewer: What were you doing at that time?
Christina: I was sleeping when I was suddenly woken up by terrible heat. I opened my eyes
to find out myself surrounded by walls of fire
Interviewer: That s terrible. How did you escape?’
Christina: I was terrified. Then I heard my mother s voice calling my name. I rushed to her. She ’
17
carried me out. Luckily, I got away without even a minor burn
Interviewer: Not many people are so lucky. Did the fire affect you in any way ?
Christina: Oh,yes. Yes, very much, in fact. Although I lost many things in the fire, the experience
helped me grow up
Interviewer: What do you mean?
Christina: Well, before the fire I was selfish. I always complained to my mother about how small
my room was or how few clothes I had. Then the fire came and destroyed everything
owned. But I slowly began to realized that I didn t really need my old things. I just ’
needed my family. After all, you can get new clothes anytime, but a family can never
be replaced
Interviewer: I see, so the fire took many things from you, but it gave you something too.
