• c. safe

This question was not answered

Transcription
My husband and I moved to the Scilly Isles six years ago. We were on
holiday on the biggest island here, St Mary’s. We loved it! It
was safe and quiet, and the beaches were beautiful with soft sand and
clear sea. I didn’t want to go home! One day we went on a trip to another
island, called Bryher. There, we saw a pub for sale. I said to my husband,
“Why don’t we buy that pub and live here?” He said yes!

2Which island does Emily live on?

• a. St Mary’s
• b. Bryher
• c. Trescocorrect

This question was not answered

Transcription
We didn’t actually buy the pub. Someone else bought it first. But we still
moved here. Now we live on an island called Tresco. There is a famous
garden here. It’s really beautiful. I work there now, as a gardener. My
husband works at a hotel. Tresco is the second biggest island in the Scilly
Isles, but it’s less than 3 square kilometres. St Mary’s, the biggest island,
is 6 and a half square kilometres. Over 1500 people live on St Mary’s, but
about 200 people live on Tresco. Less than a hundred live on Bryher. I
think I’d feel lonely there!

6Where does Emily’s son go to school now?

• a. St Mary’s
• b. Bryher
• c. Trescocorrect

This question was not answered

Transcription
Most islands have primary schools, but Bryher doesn’t. That’s another
good reason for choosing Tresco, because my son, who is six, can go to
school here. But there isn’t a secondary school on Tresco, so when he is
older, he will have to go to St Mary’s. He will sleep there and come home
at weekends. Most island kids enjoy that!

Transcription
Lots of tourists visit the islands in summer. I love listening to them,
especially when it’s their first time here. They are always
surprised because the islands are so lovely! Most tourists are polite,
friendly and tidy. We never have problems with noise. You should come
here. I think you’ll love it!
