Speaker A: My family and I used to go camping when I was a kid. We had such great fun together, sitting by the campfire, roasting marshmallows and telling stories. I didn’t pay much attention to it then> but some of our fellow campers had some bad habits. You would see empty crisp packets and plastic bottles here and there. It wasn’t enough to put you off, but still, the campers should have taken those things with them on their way out.

Speaker B: We’ve all read those terrible stories about the state of the world’s forests, that they’re being cut down or burnt down and little is being done to stop it. It’s disheartening to say the least. I realise that countries grow and need space to accommodate their expanding populations. But still, whenever they clear the woods to build a new residential area, they are destroying wildlife habitat. Where are the birds and the animals going to live?

Speaker С: Camping is a terrific pastime. Still, there are rules to follow when camping in a forest. Breaking some of the rules might not land you in hot water; but one that will is walking away from a campfire while it’s still burning. Even if it’s just on its last smoking embers, all it takes is a few dried leaves to create a raging inferno. You’ll destroy the forest and harm the animals who live there.

Speaker D: Forests are cleared for a number of reasons, and sadly, the progress of mankind has been bad news for our planets trees. As our population continues to grow, more people need food to put on their dinner table. And that means more needs to be grown. Forests have disappeared because land was needed to grow vegetables or herd cattle. It’s too bad we can’t find a way to produce the things we eat without tearing down a forest to do it.

Speaker E: When a fire is ravaging a forest, it’s hard to stop it. The firemen do their job, although their main concern is saving homes. After the fire ends, there’s a mess left to deal with. A forest regenerates over time, but there are organisations that can give it a boost. They gather seeds and plant them in individual containers. When the trees are big enough, they plant them in the forest, giving it a chance to regenerate faster.

Speaker F: On a recent camping trip, my friend spotted a raccoon while we were sitting by the campfire. It quickly ran away when we noticed it, and my friend left the fire to see where it went. She found its whole family in a tree! But I remember her saying, ‘One day, their home could be gone!’ She was right. Many trees are cut down just to end up as someone’s desk. I hope that never happens to that tree.

Jessica: Well, look who’s back from Paris! How was your trip, Rob?

Rob: Hey Jessica, it was really fantastic. I totally loved it. It was a bit tiring, walking round so much, but it was worth it. We definitely had some adventures.

Jessica: I imagine you did! I wanted to go with you but it was very bad timing, what with my family moving house. That was a really big job, you know.

Rob: Right. Well, hopefully you’re all settled in.

Jessica: There are still lots of things to do, unpacking boxes, hanging pictures on the wall, that sort of stuff And I’m not quite used to the new house yet. I’m sure I’ll get used to it in time. So, tell me more about your trip.

Rob: Well, the first day we did the typical tourist things. We walked down the Champs-Elysees, which was remarkable. Then we walked to the Eiffel Tower. The goal was the go to the top, but not in the way we actually did it!

Jessica: Oh, how so?

Rob: The queue for the lift was about two hours long. But the one for the stairs was non-existent! So we decided to climb!

Jessica: Oh, wow. That’s interesting. Good exercise! How long did it take you?

Rob: It took us about forty-five minutes. The view was really spectacular. You can’t take the stairs all the way to the top, though. At some point you have to catch the lift. So we had to wait in the queue for that, although not for very long.

Jessica: Sounds as if you had a great time at the tower. What else did you do?

Rob: The next day we visited the Louvre. Like I said, we did all the touristy stuff Although I have to say, I didn’t feel like a tourist there. It was a very cultural experience. We saw the Mona Lisa and loads of other paintings and statues. The museum is huge as well. That was an all-day event!

Jessica: Oh, I’m so jealous! I’m going to have to beg my parents to take me. It’s all their fault, deciding to move house when my classmates take a trip to Paris!

Rob: Ha! Yeah, that’s a good excuse to get them to take you there. Good luck with that!

Jessica: I’ve got to run, but let’s talk more later, OK?

Rob: Deal. See you later, Jessica.

Presenter: Hi folks and welcome to the show, Easy Living. With us today is Lisa Jones. She’s here to talk about her job as a personal shopper. Thanks for joining the programme, Lisa.

Speaker: I’m happy to be here.

Presenter: So tell us what you do as a personal shopper.

Speaker: A personal shopper does a number of things. We’re stylists, so we help people find the right clothes for their lifestyle. We also advise on what type of clothes to buy, which is based on body type as well as personal style, and we advise on how to take care of clothes – whether a type of clothing will shrink in the wash or if it must be drycleaned.

Presenter: How does that work exactly? Can anyone just make an appointment?

Speaker: That’s right. You ring up the shop, or you can visit their website, and you book an appointment. Appointments usually last for about an hour and a half. 7here’s no extra fee for it, actually. I’m paid a percentage of the clothing they buy

Presenter: So you hope they buy a lot of clothes, yes?

Speaker: My number one goal is that they leave the shop satisfied. I don’t want to come over like a salesperson. There are other people in the shop with that role. If I seem that way, I’m not really doing my job. So my focus is on finding the right clothes for the right person.

Presenter: How do you go about doing that?

Speaker: As I said before, a person’s body type is the biggest consideration. Many people buy clothes that don’t fit properly. Because of my experience, I know what styles work best for that. I also try to learn about the client’s lifestyle. Maybe they have a high-level executive position, but also like to socialise in the evenings, so they want clothes that work for both occasions. Others want casual clothes or outfits for different purposes.

Presenter: Do you feel that a lot of people have trouble picking out outfits?

Speaker: Some clients have a good idea of what they want and make sensible choices on their own, but they’d like a second opinion. Others are harder work. I’ve had women who insisted on buying certain colours that didn’t work for their skin type and hair colour. I had to say, “Let’s just try this on and tell me what you think.” Once I’d got them into the right clothes, they were surprised at the difference it made.

Presenter: Do you ever have men booking appointments?

Speaker: More and more often, yes. I don’t do appointments with men myself. We have another personal shopper for that department He’s quite busy and from what I understand, there are easier things about choosing for men, and more difficult things, too. He explains that the men are usually more open to trying new things, but they don’t have a clue about clothes. I think he’s got his work cut out for him!
