Why did Sean Fitzpatrick go to America?
You will now hear part of an interview with Sean Fitzpatrick, an Irishman who went to live in New
York. For questions 11 to 15, choose the best answer, A, B or C.
W(Interviewer): With me now is Sean Fitzpatrick, who is from Northern Ireland. Now you went to live in New York about seven years ago. Is that right?
SF: Yeah, it was about that, yeah.
W: Can you tell me what made you decide to do that?
SF: Well, I don’t know really. I mean, I think 1’ d always wanted to live in New York. It had al ways been a kind of dream of mine, you know, to go there. I was out of work at home, and I scraped the money together and I just went. Luckily I found some very well paid work over there as a bartender.
W: I see. And is there anything about Ireland that you miss particularly?
SF: Well, I miss my family, obviously, and I miss my friends, but nothing else really.
W: Right. So you’ re very happy in New York. What is it that you particularly like about New York?
SF: Well, I get a lot more money over there for a start, which is great. And the whole lifestyle is much faster, you know—it’ s like living life on the edge. It’ s great and I have an excellent social life. It’ s like a big party every day of the year.
W: Is there anything else?
SF: Well, I really like the sport over there. I really enjoy it, now. In fact, the best moment I’ve had, I think, since I went to America, was when I went to watch the New York Giants win the Superbowl, which was absolutely fantastic. The whole place was electric. It was great.
W: Right. Well, it all sounds very positive, but is there anything that you don’t like about New York?
SF: It’ s quite a dangerous place to live in because the crime is pretty bad. I mean I’ve been mugged twice already, and that’s very unsettling. I don’t like that, of course.
W: Do you think that living in New York has changed you in any way?
SF: I don’t think so. Not really. I mean the only difference I would say is the amount of nonsense that I have to listen to from the customers in the bar. They talk a lot-the Americans you know what I mean? And they talk a lot of rubbish a lot of the time. But other than that, no, it’ s great.
W: Good. Thanks.
