Voice-over 2 The facial

Stephen Oh that was so boring. It went on forever.

Joanna I loved it.

Stephen Well, I must admit my face feels different-much smother. But I’m not sure I really want smooth face. And it was nearly two hours and she used about 12 different creams and things. It normally only takes me a minute to wash my face-and I just use soap and water-the therapist said I ought to buy five different products!

Joanna Well, I enjoyed every second. My skin feels great-really healthy. I give it nine out of ten.

Stephen Hmm…I give it four.

Joanna Your problem was that you were hungry so you couldn’t relax. We could have a fruit juice before the treatment…

Stephen A fruit juice? Oh, OK then.

Voice-over 3 The foot treatment

Stephen Wow!

Joanna Don’t tell me you liked it!

Stephen It was wonderful!

Joanna I must say, your feet look…well, better. Clean anyway.

Stephen I’d never liked my feet much to be honest, but now they looked great. That was definitely worth the time and money. Nine out of ten. What do you think?

Joanna Yes, it was great. A real luxury. And I love the color they painted my nails. I agree-nine out of ten. You see..

Voice over Week one.

Jessica When I got to the studio on the first day, I was really nervous. I met my teachers, Adam and Sally, and they were very nice to me but I could see that they thought it was going to be impossible to teach me to be a reporter in just a month.

Adam The problem with Jessica at the beginning was that she was too shy and too nice. Political reporters need to be hard – almost aggressive sometimes- I’ve never met anyone less aggressive than Jessica. And also she knew nothing about politics-she knew who the Prime Minister was but not much else!

Jessica I spent the first week watching lots of political interviews on TV, and Adam and Sally taught me how to speak more clearly and more confidently. In the evening they made me read the political sections of all the newspapers. It was very boring. At the end of the week I was exhausted.

Voice over Week two.

Jessica Adam and Sally said I had to change my image for TV, so I had my hair cut and colored, and got new, smarter clothes, I must say I liked my new look. I spent the week learning how to interview someone in front of a camera.

Adam Then came Jessica’s first big challenge. The Prime Minister was arriving home after a visit to the USA. She had to wait outside number 10 Downing Street with other journalists and try to ask him a question.

Jessica It was a disaster. I was so nervous I was shaking. There were a lot of other journalists pushing and shouting. They didn’t let me get near the Prime Minister. I tried to ask my question, but he didn’t hear me. I felt really stupid.

Voice over Week three.

Adam Jessica was finally making some progress. She was more relaxed. This week she had to interview a politician from the Conservative party in the studio.

Jessica In the beginning it was fine. But then I made a stupid mistake.

Jessica So could you tell us what the Labour Party are going to do about…sorry, I mean the Conservative party.

I said the ‘Labour party’ instead of the ‘Conservative party’. And after that I was really nervous again.

Adam We all make mistakes sometimes. Jessica just has to learn to carry on, and not to lose her confidence.
