shops. And this is where I grew up. I used to live in that building there.

Janet It‘s amazing. It looks very old.

Andy Yes, it‘s about 80 years old

Janet And where did you go to school?

Andy Let me see. Yes , it was about a mile away from here. From about the age of eight, I used

to go by bike. We all made our way to school on our own, meeting up with friends along

the way until there was a large gang of us kids as we got closer to school. These days

parents are much more protective and take their kids to school by car. It‘s safer, but it‘s

not as much fun. Anyway …where was I?

Janet You were telling me about your schooldays.

Andy That‘s right. Anyway, I stayed at school until I was 16,and then I went to a college of

further education, and did my A levels. And after that, I decided to go to university.

Janet Your parents must have been proud of you.

Andy Yes, I think so. I was the first person in my family to go to uni.

Janet That‘s fascinating.

Andy And what about you?

Janet Oh, it was a typical childhood in Anshan, nothing much to tell.

Andy But I have no idea what a typical childhood is like in China.

Janet OK, I will tell you. Let me think…

Andy Oh, hang on! Do you mind waiting here for a minute? Let me go up to my flat and get my

research, and then you can tell me about it while we‘re on our way back to the studio.

Janet OK

Andy Back in a minute…

珍妮特 这和我看到的伦敦的其他地方很不一样啊。

安迪 守特瓦是一个很典型的伦敦郊区，这有许多古老的建筑和商场。这是我长大的地方，

我以前就住在那栋楼里。

珍妮特 哇！看起来很古老。

安迪 是的，有大概80年了吧。

珍妮特 对了，你去哪上学的？

安迪 让我想想… 对了，离这大概一里远。八岁起我就开始骑车上学，我们都是自己去

的。一路上我们会碰到很多同学，到学校的时候已经是一大帮人了。而现在的父母

过度的保护自己的孩子，每天送他们上学，这当然安全些，不过没有趣。而且……

我说道哪了？

珍妮特 你在讲你的学生时代。

安迪 对了，而且我在学校呆到16岁后又进了进修学校，并且参加了大学入学考试。后

来我又决定上大学了。

珍妮特 你父母一定为你感到骄傲吧！

安迪 我想是吧，在家里我是第一个上大学的。

珍妮特 你太棒了。

安迪 你呢？你怎么样？

珍妮特 噢，那是在鞍山一个很典型的童年，没什么太多可讲。

安迪 但还不知道在中国典型的童年是什么样的啊！

珍妮特 好吧，我来告诉你，让我想想……

安迪 噢，你先停下，在这等我一下好吗？我先回宿舍拿下调研资料，然后在回录音室的

路上你再慢慢讲给我听。

珍妮特 好吧。

安迪 我马上回来。
