1. Listen and read the Christina`s story:

This is Radio 3. In our ‘ Unforgettable experiences’ programme tonight we talk to Christina, a successful businesswoman. Hello Christina, welcome to our program.

Christina : Hello and thank you! It’s nice being with you tonight.

Interviewer : Christina, could you tell our audience about the most memorableexperience in your life?

Christina : Well, my most unforgettable experience happened thirteen years ago, when my house burned down.

Interviewer : Really? How did it happen?

Christina: The fire started in the kitchen where I forgot to turn off the gas stove.

* Listen and read the Christina`s story:

Interviewer : What were you doing at that time?

Christina: I was sleeping when I was suddenly woken up by terrible heat. I opened my eyes to find myself surrounded by walls of fire.

Interviewer: That’s terrible ! How did you escape?

Christina: I was terrified. Then I heard my mother’s voice calling my name. I rushed to her. She carried me out. Luckily, I got away without even a minor burn.

Interviewer : Not many people are so luckily. Did the fire affect you in any way?

Christina: Oh, yes. Yes, very much, in fact. Although I lost many things in the fire, the experience helped me to grow up.

* Listen and read the Christina`s story:

Interviewer : What do you mean?

Christina: Well, before the fire, I was selfish. I always complained to my mother about how small my room was, or how few clothes I had. Then the fire came and destroyed everything we owned. But I slowly began to realize that I didn’t really need my old things.

I just needed my family. After all, you can get new clothes anytime,but a family can never be replaced

Interviewer : I see, so the fire took many things from you, but it gave you something, too.

Christina: Exactly. It taught me to appreciate my family more than things
