Hello, Hello.

It's nice to meet you, too.

So do you live in Newcastle?

I do, yes.

How long have you been living here?

53 years. 53 years, so you know the city very well, I guess.

In order to teach our students a few words,

if you had to describe your city, like, say, choose three

words to describe your city, what would they be?

Beautiful, historic.

Historic.

Fun.

Fun.

Why fun?

Well, for young people in particular, it's considered to be a party city.

where lots goes on to give them entertainment.

Of course, that doesn't interest me, I'm an old

lady, but I think younger people appear to.

And why would you describe the city as historic?

Well, there's been a settlement here

documented settlement since Roman times and

continuously, there has been a town of some kind here since

the Roman settlement dates from about 50 or 60 AD.

So, yeah, and there's Roman remains, of course, there's the Roman Wall.

There's lots of medieval stuff remaining.

Beautiful redevelopment in the early 19th century

when most of the town burned to the ground.

And of course, it's a port.

So down on the riverside, the quayside, there are historic

buildings, too, the castle, the Guild Hall, which dates

from the 17th century, so yeah, there's a lot.

here.

That seems very interesting, so it makes me want to

go and visit some more, because I've just been here for a day, so
Oh, do!

Yes.

There's lots to see.

And we have theater, concerts, an

art gallery, which is just along here.

The building with the tower, you can't quite see it.

If you move further back.

That's a very good art gallery.

Well, thank you very much, Sue, so it was very nice of you to

teach some words, I hope it's useful to you.

It's definitely going to be.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Hello there.

Hello.

So what's your name?

My name is Maria.

Maria, nice to meet you. I'm Alban.

If you had to describe the city in, like,

choose three words to describe it, what would they be?

Probably vibrant, exciting, and busy.

And busy.

All right, so why busy?

I think it's just no matter what time of the day that you're out in

High street, there's always people around.

There's always, you know, friendly faces. Everyone always sort of stops and says hello.

So it always seems to be quite busy.

Are you going to be a student here?
