Part 1.

Fashion designer: I'm quite often asked how I got into fashion. For me, it was something I always

wanted to do. However, because my mother was a university teacher and my father a headmaster,

they found it hard to accept that fashion could be a serious career. I wasn't bad at school, I mean I

was a typical student, passed enough exams and so on, and they could understand I might want to

go to art college, but fashion just wasn't a serious subject for them. Anyway, they said I had to do a

year's business course first. I didn't like it at the time, but later, it made a big difference to me. For

example, when I started my art college course, I could use a word processor, I knew about managing

money, I had an idea of how to talk about business. None of the other students had that. And the

other thing I did during that year was to get a part-time job in the office of a small factory making

good-quality clothes. The pay was awful, but I learnt a lot there about that end of the industry, so I

began to understand what's possible and what isn't. I mean, by watching people, I realised what you

can and can't do with different types of cloth, what takes a long time to make on a sewing machine,

you know. Then I did two years at the local art college. I wanted to go to London

straight away, but my parents insisted. I think they thought I was too young, I was still only

seventeen by then, but in the end it was cost. London is a very expensive place for a student. So I

stayed at home until I won a prize for a design which actually gave me a place at a London college

for nine months. There, I was able to make a lot of useful contacts - I was already working for an

Italian fashion house three months before I left. I went on to spend three wonderful years in Milan,

then I got the job in New York for a year, which was really exciting, but unbelievably stressful. I

think probably because I was too far away from my family, more than any actual problems with the

work itself. So, I ended up in London, starting my own company, which is stressful in a different

way, but really I enjoy it very much.

Part 2.

Tour guide: Before we go on to look at the cathedral, we're going to spend a couple of hours here

in the shopping centre. So get out your wallets and your credit cards. Some of you might want to get

some cash first of all. There is a bank. It's on the first floor. You can't miss it - it's next to the cookie

shop. Just follow the delicious smell If you're looking for particular shops, it might be a good idea to

have a map. The newsagent's over there has some which are free. See where I mean? OK? When

you've spent all your money, you'll want to have something to eat. If you want a proper meal, there's

a really good restaurant in the main square opposite the fountain. But if you want to spend more

time shopping, so just want to have a quick snack there are several places where you can get a

sandwich and a drink, but the best one is the snack bar just over there beside the lifts. As well as

sandwiches you can get salads and cakes. It's open now, but it does most of its business in the

morning and at lunchtime, so it closes at a quarter past two. It's best to get there by about one

o'clock anyway or there isn't much choice. Now, the last thing is very important. We're meeting

again at a quarter to three. If you go out of the centre through these doors and turn left, you'll see a

large shop selling carpets. The coach will meet us outside the shop. The shop's name is Whitmarsh.

Now, do you want to write that down - I'll spell it for you. That's W-H-I-T-M-A-R-S-H. OK? Now,

have a good time and I'll see you later.
