M:It's quite cheap,but you hear the traffic when people are going to and from work.But thehotel clerks there are always glad to help.W:OK,thanksText 8W:Peter,tell us a bit about your latest trip.M:Well,I set off nearly three months ago and spent the trip photographing animals in SouthAfrica.I returned home a couple of weeks ago.W:Oh,you were there for quite a long time.M:Yes,it was about ten weeks all together,and it was quite hard.The climate was much drierand hotter than what I'm used to;sometimes no electricity and sometimes a lack of water.Thehardest thing was understanding what the locals said.People spoke very quickly and it was hardto get them to repeat things.W:I want to hear about the work you do with teenagers in the area.M:Last year,I ran an after-school class at a school.I taught photography there.At the moment,we're preparing a competition.Everyone needs to hand in one photo.We'll choose the best fiveand the winning photographs will be shown in the local newspaper.Text 9W:Hi,Dr.Reade,do you mind if I come in for a second?M:Hey,Kiana,not at all,come in.W:I'm enjoying your writing course and I'm having some trouble with the first paper.This ismy first time writing a paper of this length.Writing more than 10 pages is actually turning outto be quite a task.I've been reading some material and I'm just not sure how to approach thepaper.Could you give me some advice on the readings?M:Of course,my role is to guide you through the readings.We can go over them together.W:Thanks.I guess I want to ask about the Kolehaus book first.He is a popular writer.M:But sometimes a bit over the top.I would suggest reading just the introduction to the book.As for the Pehlee article and Wolfson article,you'd better review that again.Also,rememberwhat I said about the Leebskid article?W:Yes,you told us to focus on research methodM:Let's see,for the Gary article,it didn't seem particularly relevant to the topic.So pass it.Text 10My job is model-making.I make small copies of large buildings.I did a college course,notin art or architecture as you might expect,but in woodwork.Because it requires you toconcentrate on fine detail,it was ideal for a model maker.I've done quite a few jobs now.Generally,I don't see my models again after I've deliveredthem.80%of them are shipped out to Japan and Canada,with the rest shared between Englandand France.My most recent project was a model for an old house in Ireland.It was burnt downyears before.The original building was gone,and there were no old photos to use.But theowner of the house gave me detailed drawings to work from.It took longer than any model Ihad ever done before,mainly because I had to do all of the 152 windows-a real test of patience!Doing things like the statues along the front was enjoyable.But I spent some difficult hourscoloring the walls.When I had finished that process,I knew the hardest part was over.Mycustom was very pleased with the model.3
