PET Interview 2

Fail

Interviewer: I’m with Maria Shaw, who went with her school on an outdoor adventure trip. Maria, had you done many trips like that before?

Maria: Hardly any! I’d only been on holiday with my friend and her parents, when we stayed in a tent! But I was travelling miles to my school every day on my bike, so I thought at least I’d be fit enough.

 I never imagined the trip would involve walking so far in one day, though – exhausting!

Interviewer: So what was your first day like?

Maria: Absolutely freezing! The first morning we got up early, then went down to the lake in the snow, with our instructor. She said we’d got to sail across the lake, climb up some rocks, then sail back again – all before it got dark! I knew roughly how to make a boat go in a straight line, but I was afraid I’d never finish all the tasks by the end of the day.

Interviewer: And was the hardest part the rock climbing?

Maria: Mm, it was difficult and took ages. But we didn’t slip much even though there was still snow around. And luckily no one fell and injured themselves, as we were far from our hostel. In places the rocks rose up really steeply, though, so it took us time to get up them.

Interviewer: So what was it like at the top?

Maria: Amazing! The view was great! After the climb we needed food, so we had some fruit and a drink. Then our instructor told us about all the changes in the area, due to changes in the climate, and what we could do to help prevent damage there. Unfortunately, we’d all had to leave our mobiles back at the hostel, so we couldn’t take any photos!

Interviewer: So was there a change in you all by the end?

Maria: Well, yes. When we first arrived, most of the girls just wanted to turn round and go straight home again – some were quite homesick. But by the last day, we were all enjoying it. And we seemed to be helping each other much more to do things.

 I even offered to cook dinner when I got home – much to my mum’s amazement!

Interviewer: So will you go on another outdoor adventure trip?

Maria: Oh, I’m planning another, but next time I’ ll have my family with me. They’d probably prefer somewhere warmer, by the beach, but we’re going back to the same place again. In fact, I’ve already been on another similar trip to Alaska, where it was much wilder and colder, but I learned a lot!

Interviewer: Thanks, Maria.
