Exercises six and seven.

Interviewer: Here in the studio with me is Jackie Whelan, a woman with an interesting story about her trip to Yellowstone National Park. Tell me Jackie, what happened?

Jackie: Well, I was in Yellowstone, deep in the forest. I walked out of the trees, and there was a bear, right in front of me. It was quite close, only twenty or thirty meters away.

Interviewer: Oh no.

Jackie: Well, I'm a careful person. Everyone knows there are bears at Yellowstone. I hoped not to meet one, but I wanted to be prepared. So, when I arrived there, I looked at all the information about what to do if you meet a bear. But of course, when it actually happened, I just wanted to turn and run.

Interviewer: But you stopped yourself?

Jackie: Yes. I remembered one important thing, that it isn't a good idea to run away from a bear. Bears are so quick. So I stopped, and I stayed very still. Then the bear looked up and looked straight at me.

Interviewer: Uh-oh!

Jackie: Exactly. Then I realized how close I was to the bear. I also realized he wasn't a happy bear.

Interviewer: So what next?

Jackie: Well, he started hitting the ground with his paw. I could see he was very nervous, angry, perhaps. So, after a few minutes, I tried moving backwards very slowly.

Interviewer: And?

Jackie: And suddenly, he started running straight towards me.

Interviewer: Oh no! How awful!

Jackie: Absolutely. Anyway, sometimes they stop running at you, and sometimes they turn and run off at the last moment. But not this bear. He moved faster and closer.

Interviewer: The bear continued to run at you?

Jackie: Straight at me, yes. Then just as it reached me, I turned and dropped to the ground. I placed my hands over the back of my neck, my elbows protecting my face. I was flat on my face. I tried not to move. And the bear was right there by me.

Interviewer: Oh no! Were you frightened?

Jackie: Yes, of course. Well, the bear moved around me. I could feel it smelling me. And then finally, it walked off into the forest. I waited about five minutes. I looked round. It wasn't there any longer. So I left. Slowly.

Interviewer: What an incredible experience!

Jackie: Well, yes. My heart slowed down to its normal speed after about half an hour.
