Unit 14: Greene: Travels With Aunt
Tape Script
Presenter:
Good afternoon. In today’s programme, our subject is the
twentieth-century British novelist Graham Greene. We’re going to hear
from John McGregor. Welcome to the programme, John. Could you start by
telling us a few facts about Graham Greene's life?
McGregor: Hello. I
only met Graham Greene once, but I've long been interested in his life.
He was born in 1904, and was the fourth of six children. Although his
father was a school teacher, his wider family was wealthy and
influential in the world of banking and business. Graham was very
unhappy at school because he was regularly bullied. On leaving school,
he went to Oxford University, where he studied history.
Presenter: When did he start writing?
McGregor:
Well, while he was at Oxford, he wrote a few poems, but they were not
very successful. After graduating, he became a journalist, working on
local newspapers and then for a national paper.
Presenter: And when did he write his first novel?
McGregor: His first successful novel, Stamboul Train was published in 1932. It was later made into a film
Presenter: Quite a lot of his stories were made into films, weren't they?
McGregor: Yes, probably the most famous was The Third Man.
Presenter: Did he earn enough money from his novels to live on?
McGregor:
No, he didn't earn enough at firs! So he wrote book and film reviews
for magazines and newspapers. Then, during the Second World War, he
worked for the British government in Africa.
Presenter: Did he enjoy travelling?
McGregor:
Yes, he did, and many of his books were based on his travels. He
particularly liked wild, remote places. In 1935, he went to Liberia, and
wrote a travel book about his experience. In 1938, he travelled to
Mexico which is where I met him.
Presenter: And in his later years, he went to live abroad, didn't he?
McGregor: That's right, he moved lo Switzerland, lie died there in 1991.
Presenter: How do you think Graham Greene will be remembered?
McGregor:
As a fantastic storyteller. The unusual thing about Graham Greene was
that his books were popular with ordinary people, but were also regarded
as great literature. I believe people will read his books for many
years.
Presenter: And what sort of a man wan he?
McGregor: Well,
he was married and had two children, but he always wanted the excitement
of foreign travel and he was quickly bored by daily routines. Despite
his being known as a difficult man, I got on very well with him.
Presenter: John McGregor, thanks very much.

Reading: Travels With My Aunt
Henry Pulling is a retired bank manager and lives a very conventional
life. His mother dies just after he retires. At the funeral, he meets
his Aunt. Augusta, a woman in her seventies who he has not seen for 50
years. Aunt Augusta has travelled all over the world. From everything
she says, it is obvious that Augusta has lived an adventurous
unconventional life
After the funeral, Henry and Augusta meet again
and, despite having very different personalities, they get on well.
Augusta tells Henry things about his family that he never knew. Augusta
then persuades Henry to go travelling with her, at first to places in
England, but gradually to more exciting destinations. Until now, Henry
has lived, a quiet life; most of the people he knows are bank customers
or colleagues.
One day, Augusta tells Henry she is taking him to
Istanbul. He is surprised by this sudden announcement. He is used to
planning everything he does, but Augusta is always spontaneous and seems
to make decisions without thinking. On the journey to Istanbul, Henry
finds out more about his aunt's unusual lifestyle and her past. As they
travel, Henry sees new cultures for the first time and Augusta
introduces him to her old friends who all have exciting and unusual
stories to tell. Henry is often surprised by what he hears, but begins
to enjoy himself more and more.
When he returned to England, Henry
enjoys his retirement looking after the flowers in his garden, but he is
a changed man. He misses his aunt and her interesting friends, and
Augusta has shown him a new way of looking at the world.

5- Read the passage then answer the questions:
Nothing we do in this world is done in isolation. It is now
recognized that being able to work successfully with other people is
one of the major keys to success. In every situation where you are in a
group, you will need a skilled leader. All groups need leaders and all
successful groups have good leaders. Groups without leaders always break
down. Members of a leaderless group often begin to feel dissatisfied
and frustrated. There are often arguments and tensions between people as
there is nobody to keep the goals clear.
Some people are
natural leaders. True leaders are born and you can spot them. They are
people who combine toughness, fairness and humour. Although a lot of
people agree that there are some natural-born leaders, most people now
recognize that leadership can also be taught in training courses which
use activities and techniques to develop a range of qualities which are
necessary to be a good leader, such as self-confidence, calmness and
intelligence. They also need to be able to work under pressure. Lastly,
and probably most importantly, good leaders need to be sensitive,
sociable and be able to get on with a wide range of people. Good
leadership is the ability to influence others and allow all members of
the group to contribute.

6- Read the passage then answer the questions:
For most of us, the idea of soup which stops us getting
ill, or crisps which relax us seems like something from a
science-fiction film. However, these food products known as "functional
foods" may already be on your supermarket's shelves.
In
today's world, we all know that our diet affects our health. Therefore,
food companies are taking advantage of this fact. They have already

to strengthen your bones and teeth.
Of course, there are
people who believe that functional foods are a bad idea. They claim that
products such as these can be dangerous, as people may end up taking
more vitamins than they need and may damage their bodies as a result.
Nevertheless, functional foods are becoming increasingly popular, and
supporters feel that it won't be long before there are foods which
prevent cancer, protect eyesight and much more.
