Exercise 6, page 156.0:01
I'm sorry to disturb you, but could I ask you a question?0:07
Well, my name's Mark.0:13
First of all, I'm a visitor to York and I wanted to ask someone who lives around here for a little information.0:14
You're in luck, then.0:19
My name's Sandra and I've lived here all my life.0:21
I'm from Australia, actually.0:26
This visit to Europe is the first time I've been abroad in my life.0:28
Everything's so different here in the uk, but many things are still familiar.0:31
Why did you choose my town to visit?0:36
My grandmother grew up here and moved to Australia when she was 20.0:38
And she and her family argued about it, so she broke off contact.0:45
But I'm here with my mum and she's trying to track down her family.0:52
She wants to reunite everyone before they get too old.0:55
What an exciting idea.0:59
It's sort of like a detective story.1:01
We visited her old house last night, but some other family are living there now.1:05
What about records at the town hall?1:09
Yes, that's on our list.1:12
We want to see if her two sisters got married and changed their names.1:13
We think at least one of them did.1:17
She had no brothers, you see.1:19
So what did you want to ask me?1:21
This is going to sound crazy, but you really remind me of my grandma.1:23
In fact, you're the spitting image.1:28
And you think I might be related to you?1:31
I thought it was worth asking.1:34
Look at this picture.1:36
That's my mum she's got in the pram.1:37
Yes, I see what you mean.1:40
Well, my surname's Hastings, but my mother's maiden name was Scunthorpe.1:42
You might be my long lost cousin.1:49
Let me call my mum and ask her.1:52
What's your grandma's name?1:54
She married a man called Gordon Matthews.1:56
