Jane: Hello, Peter. How was the school trip to Durham? Was it Wednesday or Thursday you
went?
Peter: Friday.
J: What was the city like?
P: Well, we visited three places — the cathedral, the museum and the castle. The castle only
opens in the morning so the bus took us straight there. After that we went to the museum
and the cathedral.
J: Was it a good trip?
P: Well — in the museum we looked at old paintings and stamps, which I didn’t like much,
but the guide showed us some old clocks and told us all about them. That was interesting.
J: And the castle?
P: Well, you know how some are just dark, empty ruins. This was different. There was a lot
to see. It just wasn’t very warm.
J: Did you go shopping?
P: Yes, after eating our sandwiches. I only bought some postcards. The book about Durham
I wanted was too expensive.
J: Did you take any photographs?
P: Well, before we went back to the bus I took some of my friends. I wanted to take photos of
the cathedral windows but it wasn’t possible.
