A DOUBLE LIFE (Interview)

1.- What do you do?

  • I'm an artist. I draw and paint pictures for magazines books, CD covers - all kinds of things.

2.- Where do  you work?

  • I work at home. I have a room just for working in.

3.- How many hours do you work?

  • I usually work about eight hours a day, from 9'30 to 5'30. Sometimes I work again in the evenings or weekends, when I'm in a hurry to finish a picture.

4.- Do you earn a lot of money?

  • It depends. I earn from about 250 pounds to 3000 pounds for a picture. Sometimes I have a lot of work but sometimes I don't. That's a problem. And I don't have paid holidays.

5.- Do you like your job? Why?

  • Yes, I love it, because every day is different, and I like using my imagination.

6.- What don't you like about your job?

  • It's stressful when I need to work fast and the ideas don't come. And sometimes it's lonely when you don't work with other people.

7.- How do you relax after work?

  • I play the bass in a band called International Airport. We play at weekends in pubs and clubs.

The Lake District has been one of the most popular areas in Great Britain for many years. It is an area about 50 km long and 50 km wide in Cumbria, in Northwest Britain. It has got hills, valleys, rivers, villages, towns and beaches, and of course lakes - 16 large ones and many small ones.

SCENERY

Some famous artists have painted the beautiful scenary of the Lake District and many writers and poets have written about it. The famous poet William Wordsworth wrote a book about the district in 1810. Tourists often use Wordsworth's book when they visit this beautiful area.

There are many ways to see the lakes. You can walk or ride a bicycle along the 3000 kilometres of paths. Sailing and fishing on the rivers and lakes has always been popular, too. Whichever way you choose to tour the Lake District, you shouldn't miss this special part of England!
