AUDIO SCRIPT
Task 1 (Recording 2.10)
Would you like to wake up to the sound of wildlife all around you? Then join us at the Wild Adventure Activity Camp for thirteen- to seventeen-year-olds. Our summer camps are all about being outdoors. That’s why our camps are all in different beautiful places. You can stay in the forest, near the beach or at the top of a mountain – we let you decide. Come and learn how to make a fire and cook a meal outside. Have fun sleeping under the stars and discover plants and animals that live around us. So what are you waiting for? It’s time to find your wild side!
Task 2+3 (Recording 2.12)
M = Milo P = Poppy
M: Are these your photos from Wild Adventure?
P: Yes, it was amazing. That’s the sunset on the second day, so Tuesday. We made a fire and told stories when it was dark!
M: Cool. Did you really sleep outside?
P: No. We learnt how to make a shelter when we got there on Monday, but it was cold at night, so we slept in tents in the end. A girl in my tent liked listening to the wildlife in the forest, but I didn’t hear a thing. I slept so well.
M: Ugh, it looks freezing!
P: Yes, but at least it wasn’t raining. On Thursday night there weren’t any clouds and we watched the stars. It was awesome.
M: And were there lots of spiders?
P: No, I think it was too cold for them. Honestly, Milo, it was so good to do something different every day. On Wednesday we walked up a path into the mountains to look for wild animals. Then we ate near a waterfall.
M: Did you see any bears?
P: No, don’t be silly! But we found a cave where hundreds of bats were living.
M: Ah, now that sounds fun. I like bats.
P: It was. But the best day was the last day. We discovered unusual plants in the forest that you can use for medicine.
M: Great... Er, have you got something for a headache?
