I find my phone most useful when I’m on the underground in
the morning. It takes me about 40 minutes to get to school.
The best way to travel is sitting down with my headphones
on. I just put on my favourite band, turn up the volume and
close my eyes until I have to get off the train.
Speaker 2
I use my phone a lot for meeting friends. We’ve got a group
together on Whatsapp, so when we want to meet, we just
post a place and time and everyone knows what to do. It
means that we don’t have to make a lot of phone calls every
time we want to see each other.

My phone’s really old – I’m hoping to get a new one for my
use it for talking to people. I try not to use it too much,
because it can get expensive. The person I call most is my
best friend, who lives on the other side of town.

I’ve got a job delivering meals in my car for a Chinese
restaurant. I don’t know my town that well, but my phone
takes me to all the houses. I just type in the address and it
tells me which way to go. Thanks to my phone, I hardly ever
get lost.

I have to travel a lot in my job, which makes it difficult when
people email me. I’m not often at my desk, so I can’t read
what they say on my computer. Now I’ve got a smartphone,
hotel and answer their questions.
Speaker 6
I often use my phone when I’m bored. There are some
people I follow on YouTube who really make me laugh.
They’ve got webcams in their rooms, and they do lots of
things in front of the screen: acting, telling jokes, all kinds of
things. I think they’re really funny.

Presenter Buckingham Palace is opening its doors to
tourists again tomorrow. We’ve invited Finley
Finley, how much of the palace do people
actually see?
Guest Well, Buckingham Palace is very large – there
are 775 rooms including the 19 State Rooms
and 78 bathrooms. On the tour, you can see all
of the State Rooms. These are rooms where
the King or Queen meets important visitors to
the palace
Presenter Right. Can you tell us what the state rooms are
like, Finley?
Guest Oh, they’re full of lovely furniture, beautiful
carpets and impressive works of art. There are
paintings by famous artists such as Rubens and
Rembrandt. But the thing I like best is the
Grand Staircase. The architect John Nash
designed the staircase in the 1820s, and it
really is spectacular. There are two sets of
stairs that go from the ground floor to the first
floor.
Presenter So what kind of rooms are the State Rooms?
2 Audio scripts
Guest There’s the Music Room and there are three
drawing rooms – these are like living rooms for
special occasions. Then there’s the Picture
Gallery and the Ballroom. In the past, this is
where the palace had dances, but today they
often use it as a large dining room. And then of
course, there’s the Throne Room.
Presenter The Throne Room?
Guest Yes. This room has some special chairs, where
kings and queens sit for official ceremonies and
for photographs. Prince William and his new
wife Kate Middleton sat in the Throne Room for
the photograph of their wedding in 2011.
Presenter Right, the Throne Room. Does the tour only
include the state rooms, Finley?
Guest No, you can also go outside to visit the gardens
if you pay a bit more. There are hundreds of
different trees and flowers and a very large
lake. You can also see the tennis courts where
King George VI played. And you can finish your
visit with a cup of tea in the Garden Café.
Presenter That sounds very pleasant. Finley Sparks,
thank you for joining us.
Guest My pleasure.
