General English Level 5 GELEV5 Unit 01 Topic 05.doc Gayle Stephenson, university lecturer, Boston At the moment I'm enjoying reading Shakespeare. I'm reading “Macbeth” for the third time and still loving it. I went to the Boston Film Festival and saw some French movies, which were excellent. I usually have a lot of lecture notes to prepare, so I'm hard at work all week, but on the weekends I take time out to enjoy myself! I usually go to the theatre. I've got a season ticket, so I go regularly. I just love theatre! What am I wearing? I don't care much about clothes, but I do have a favourite jumper. An aunt of mine knitted it for me. Usually, though, I wear whatever I have washed! Who would I most like to meet? I think I'd like to meet Simone Young, the famous conductor. I find her very inspiring. What talent do I wish I had? I'd love to be able to play piano really well and play in an orchestra. What am I excited about? I'm excited about people taking care of the environment. More and more people seem to be taking an interest, helping to save forests and keep our oceans clean.
