英语博客-北美风情 234 Interviewing Erin

 　　Maura has two sisters. In this episode¹, you get to meet one of them! Erin recently visited Maura in Montreal, so Maura took the opportunity to interview her about her travels. Erin has visited many countries and lived abroad, and Maura wanted to question her to find out about her favourites. What’s Erin’s favourite country for food? Which country had the friendliest people? Where were the best beaches? Erin has also been learning² French, so Maura asks her about that challenge, too. Listen in to travel around the world with them.

　　Maura:So I started off by saying how much you’ve travelled. Now I want to ask you a tough question. Can you name every country that you’ve visited?

　　Erin:Let’s see. I think I can. Well I’ve lived in Canada. I’ve been to the United States. I’ve visited Belize, Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, Grenada, Antigua, Ireland, Uganda, Tanzania, Fiji, Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Laos. Did I say Thailand?

　　Maura:I don’t know.

　　Erin:Oh, I just remembered another country. I’ve been to Costa Rica.

　　Maura:That’s a lot. I can see that you kind of went around the world and it was a map in your head.
