Unit nine.

Listening.

Exercise one.

Reporter: Well, we're here at the Mela in Bradford, one of Britain's biggest Asian festivals. The atmosphere is fantastic.

Reporter: Right, let's see what's happening over here. Hello.

Interviewee: Hi.

Reporter: Now, you're doing henna tattoos. How's it going today?

Interviewee: Yeah, it's great. I've done more than twenty tattoos already.

Reporter: Wow.

Reporter: Can you tell us a bit more about henna tattoos? What are they exactly?

Interviewee: Well, these are very traditional. They're often applied to women's hands and feet for Asian weddings, though here people usually prefer them on their arm. They're really popular 'cause they're only temporary.

Reporter: So, what is henna exactly? What's it made of?

Interviewee: Well, it's completely natural. It's made from henna plants. They're grown in hot countries. There aren't any here in Britain.

Reporter: Right. So, what's the process then? How do you do the tattoos?

Interviewee: Well, first you choose the design you want. I've got these books here with lots of designs to choose from.

Reporter: Uh-huh.

Interviewee: So then, the design is drawn onto the skin, uh, just with a soft pen like this.

Reporter: I see.

Interviewee: And after that, the henna paste is painted onto the design. Of course, needles aren't used at all. It's just applied with a brush.

Reporter: Right.

Interviewee: Then finally, the henna is left to dry on the skin. Then the paste can be washed off after about an hour, but the design stays on.

Reporter: Great. And so, how long do these tattoos last then?

Interviewee: Oh, usually about two to three weeks.

Reporter: Well, thanks for talking to us. Good luck for the rest of the day.

Interviewee: Cheers. Bye.
