Unit 2: PERSONAL EXPERIENCES
Unfor gettable Experiences
Interviewer: This is Radio 3. In our
“Unforgettable Experiences”
programme tonight we talk to
Christina, a successful
businesswoman. Hello Christina,
welcome to our programme.
•
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.
•
Interviewer: Really? How did it
happen?
•
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
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
mane. I rushed to her. She 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 we owned. But I slowly

began to realize that I didn’t really
need my odd 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 some thing, too.
• Christina: Exactly. It taught me to
appreciate my family more than
things.
