attention - that’s only natural - but if I’ve done my job well, I think that what I do plays
just as important a part in whether a film works or not.

I don’t know what came over me - it’s most unlike me to talk like that, as you know ...
Look, I can perfectly well see your point of view and I’ve got no excuse. I wish I’d
never opened my big mouth ... Yes, I appreciate how upsetting it was, but all I can say
is, it won’t happen again, I promise you. I mean, if it’s any comfort to you, I feel just as
bad about it as you do.

Woman:
Well, here we are right in the heart of the city and it’s certainly full of noise
and activity, isn’t it Harry?
Man:
Yes, in fact we’re talking to you from one of the many colourful markets that you
can find all over the city, and I don’t think I’ve seen such a variety of food for sale
anywhere else in the world.
Woman:
It really is something, isn’t it. Well, for the next half hour, join us as we have
a good look round various districts here and talk to the locals in our search for the real
New York. Is there really nowhere else like it?
Part 2
You will hear part of a travel programme, in which a reporter talks about various
ferries. For questions 9-18, fill in the missing information.
Presenter:
OK, now we come to our regular review spot, and this week we look at
ferries. Every year hundreds of thousands of people take them across the sea from
Britain to other parts of Europe, and we sent our reporter Alice Little to find out what
they’re really like. Alice, the first one you took was the
Sea
Master -
what did you make
of it?
Alice:
Yes, well I was particularly impressed by how friendly and competent the staff
were, and overall this boat gave me a good trip. It has one bar and four restaurants -
there’s nothing special about those, but they’re adequate - and a children’s area. The
main problem for me was in the shops - they were much too crowded to make shopping
easy and I could have done without being packed in there like a sardine.
Presenter:
Marks out of ten?
Alice:
I’d say about seven.
Presenter:
Which boat was next?
Alice:
Well, then I went on the
Maid of the Ocean.
This one has a very large bar full of
video machines - if you like that sort of thing - one main restaurant and a smaller self-
service snack bar. I thought the children’s area stood out here - there were lots of games
laid on and there was a kids’ video room there, which is a really good idea. On the
downside, I felt that there just weren’t enough signs - I couldn’t find my way around
and I kept getting lost when I went to get my car. So, I’d give this one six out of ten.
Presenter:
OK, next we sent you on the
Europa.
What did you make of that?
Alice:
On the whole I enjoyed this trip, especially because of the comfortable seating.
There was plenty of room in the seats and there were train-style compartments for up to
six passengers, which are ideal if you want to play games. There are two big bars and
one cafeteria - they weren’t bad - and a simple kids’ area. Unfortunately, a minus on this
