　　Section Two:

　　Tapescript.

　　Accommodation:

　　Visitor: Where can I stay in this town?

　　Resident: There are lots of hotels, but they tend to be fairly expensive. And then there are bed and breakfast places, which are much cheaper—and you can find out about them through looking in the paper, or else just walking around the streets, and they have signs in the window saying ‘Bed＆Breakfast’. And then there are youth hostels.

　　Visitor: What are the youth hostels like?

　　Resident: The youth hostels are OK. All you get is a bed, but they do tend to be very cheap.

　　Visitor: Do I have to become a member?

　　Resident: Yes, you do, in fact. But it’s very easy to join, and there’s an office along the road, where you can go and sign on.

　　Schedule in the Nursing Home:

　　Mrs. Weston is describing her schedule in the nursing home.

　　I usually get up at 6.30. I’ve always been an early riser. When my husband was alive, we had to be up by five o’clock. He was a long distance train driver, you see. Before breakfast I have a cup of tea and I listen to music on the radio. Then between seven and eight I get dressed and eat breakfast—a boiled egg and a large glass of orange juice—I never have anything else. Then at eight o’clock I always watch breakfast television—for the news and the weather and the chat. And then I usually have a nap until lunch. That’s always at twelve. We have a big lunch here at Twybury’s—soup, roast meat, potatoes, vegetables, always a pudding. After lunch I like being taken out in my wheelchair, or even in a car, if there’s anyone to take me. I hate staying indoors. I like looking in the shop windows, or sitting in a park and watching the world go by. Sometimes someone will read to me or write some letters. I usually fall asleep about three, and then of course we have our tea around five—nothing heavy—cold meats and salads and fruit, and that kind of thing. In the evening we play cards, or do knitting, and then I’m in bed by eight. I am getting on a bit, you know. I’m nearly eighty-three.
