Page 9 - Exercise 5B

Earlier in the programme, we were talking to archaeologist Dr Susan Clarke. She was telling us about Otzi, the Stone Age man. Some tourists found him while they were walking in the Alps. Have you ever found anything interesting or unusual? Give us a call.

Give us a call. And our first goal today is Emma. So, What did you find Emma? I found an interesting fossil. What kind of fossil was it? A fish. And how did you find it? We were on a beach. My brother and I were playing with a ball near some cliffs when I saw it. What did you do with it? I took it home and I looked it up on the Internet. It’s about 15 million years old. Wow, and did you keep it? Yes I did. It’s in our living room. Well, thank you Emma.

And our next caller is Mark. What did you find Mark? I found some Roman coins. Well, actually I didn’t find them. Our dog Rufus found them. Clever dog. How did that happen? Well, Rufus was digging in the garden one day. My dad doesn’t like it when he does that. So I went out to stop him and I saw something on the ground where he was digging. It was an old coin. What did you do? I got a spade and dug a big hole. I found five coins altogether. What did you do with them? I took them to the local museum. They said the coins were from about 200 AD. And did you keep them? No, I couldn’t. They’re in the museum now. Thank you, Mark.

And our last caller is Sarah. What did you find Sarah? It was a leather wallet. How did you find it? I was cycling along the path near the canal when I saw it in the grass. What was in it? There was some money in it. But there wasn’t anything else like a credit card or an address. What did you do with it? I took it to the police. And did they find the owner? No they didn’t. So after six months. The police gave it back to me and have you still got it? Well, I kept the money. But I gave the wallet to my granddad. Well thank you Sarah. Now here’s some music.
