Exercise 3, page 118.0:01

Speaker A: I won free passes to a war museum and decided to take my niece and nephew for a day out.0:05

I was really pleased because museum entry fees can be expensive.0:13

We had a really great day, and the children both took some souvenirs home, which cost me a fortune.0:18

What I couldn't believe was how much there was to see.0:23

From displays of weapons and battle vehicles used during different wars to multimedia presentations about what happened, there were so many different things.0:26

Actually, we're eager to go back and see the things we missed out on.0:35

Speaker B. I was writing an essay on war propaganda, so I thought it would be valuable to go to a war museum and see it firsthand.0:39

I thoroughly enjoyed looking at the collections.0:50

And came away with lots of information for my essay.0:52

I even had access to private collections that weren't on public view.0:56

It was such an interesting experience, and I took away a lot.1:01

The only thing was, I wanted to buy some books and memorabilia at the end of my visit, but they were really expensive.1:06

Speaker C: I'm a history fanatic, So when my friend suggested visiting a war museum, I said yes straight away!1:15

On the morning of our visit, it was pouring down with rain, so it was the perfect day to go to a museum.1:24

I love war art, like all the posters reminding people to be careful what they said and calling women to work in the factories, and I was fascinated looking at the museum's great collections.1:31

The tour guide told us a lot about all the badges and medals and other mementos too, but I wasn't really interested in all that.1:44

At the end of the visit, I bought some postcards showing some of my favourite posters.1:53

Speaker: D. My history class recently paid a visit to a war museum, and I was less than excited about it.2:00

We listened to various talks by guides at the museum.2:08

Telling us all about the various exhibits.2:11

I thought it was going to be really boring, but surprisingly, I had quite a good day.2:14

In class the following day, our teacher gave us a little test on what we'd learnt at the museum.2:19

I didn't do very well, but all in all, it wasn't such a bad experience.2:25

Speaker E: I've always been fascinated by aeroplanes, especially after being told that my great-grandfather was an Air Force pilot in World War II.2:31

So when I discovered that the Royal Air Force was having an air show at a war museum, I just had to go.2:40

As well as the air show, the ticket included a museum tour and a special exhibition of warplanes.2:46

The only thing was that rain was expected, and it was unsure whether the show would go ahead.2:52

But luckily the rain stayed away, the air show was fantastic, and I had a wonderful day.2:56
