Sample transcript¹

Maura: So what did you do after your time in New York?

Paul: So after New York, I headed to western Massachusetts, to a town called Greenfield to see my friend’s family and experience Independence Day in America, which was a first for me.

Maura: Yeah, I’ve never experienced Independence Day, but I imagine it would be pretty huge over there.

Paul: Yeah, they have lots of flags out in the street and there’s a big festival in the town square with fireworks, and stores with candyfloss, and clams², and roasted chestnuts³, the usual kind of festival stalls. We spent the day preparing for it, getting food for the barbecue and making different types of salads, like potato salad and green salad, and then we sat out on the lawn and waited for his family to come round, which was like 20 members, and all his friends as well from high school. And then in the, there was like a square green park and a mountain at the top with like a high tower, and the fireworks were set off from there at about 10 o’clock at night.
