[00:20.91] | Deadman's Island |
[00:33.04] | 1 Coming to England |
[00:38.58] | My name is Carol Sanders. |
[00:43.52] | I live in England now,but when I was younger,I lived in Hong Kong. |
[00:49.90] | My father was a businessman there and my mother worked as a secretary. |
[00:56.67] | We lived in Hong Kong for seven years. |
[01:01.14] | I was happy at school,with lots of friends,and we had a good time. |
[01:08.75] | I liked pop music—the Rolling Stones, |
[01:13.44] | David Bowie and Jake Rosso were my favourites. |
[01:18.40] | Jake Rosso was my favourite singer. |
[01:23.25] | He died in a car accident the year I left school, |
[01:28.37] | But I listened to his pop records all the time. |
[01:33.25] | I had hundreds of pictures and photos of him on my bedroom wall. |
[01:40.17] | Then one day in winter when I was seventeen,things began to go wrong for me. |
[01:49.32] | My father went to Australia on business. |
[01:53.93] | I loved him very much and didn't like him going away. |
[01:59.30] | ‘Come home quickly,’I always said to him. |
[02:04.12] | He was in Australia for two weeks. |
[02:08.68] | Then,on the day of his journey home, |
[02:12.33] | An aeroplane from Sydney crashed into the sea just south of Hong Kong. |
[02:18.50] | Everybody on the plane died. |
[02:22.09] | I heard about the plane crash on television. |
[02:27.11] | At first,I did not think about my father. |
[02:32.08] | Then I remembered he was flying back from Sydney on that day. |
[02:38.63] | ‘Oh,no!’I cried. |
[02:42.40] | I telephoned the airport but they did not know the names of all the passengers then. |
[02:48.86] | ‘Perhaps my father didn't get that plane,’I thought.‘Oh,please!Please!’ |
[02:56.88] | My mother was at work and I called her on the telephone. |
[03:03.25] | She came home quickly and we went to the airport and waited for news. |
[03:09.49] | Later,we learned my father was on the plane. |
[03:15.33] | ‘It's not true!’I shouted. |
[03:19.45] | But it was true,and I began to cry. |
[03:23.81] | I cried for weeks and weeks.I spent many days alone in my room. |
[03:32.30] | I was lonely and sad and I wanted to die,too. |
[03:37.97] | I stopped going out with my friends.I didn't want to see other people. |
[03:45.46] | I stopped listening to Jake Rosso's records, |
[03:50.20] | And took his pictures off my bedroom wall. |
[03:55.62] | I didn't listen to music or watch television.Nothing mattered any more. |
[04:02.80] | Then I stopped crying.I stopped feeling sad and began to feel angry. |
[04:13.29] | ‘Why did it happen to him?’I asked my mother. |
[04:18.96] | ‘Why do the best people die?Jake Rosso.My father.’ |
[04:26.41] | ‘I…I don't know,Carol,'my mother said.She was unhappy,too. |
[04:36.58] | At the time of the plane crash,I was a student at college. |
[04:43.70] | I enjoyed the college work and life very much, |
[04:49.64] | But after my father's death I stopped doing my work at the college. |
[04:56.53] | I began to go out with some new friends. |
[05:00.74] | They were different from my other friends,and my mother didn't like them. |
[05:07.02] | ‘They're bad people,Carol,'she told me.‘They do dangerous things.’ |
[05:14.90] | ‘They're exciting,’I said.‘And I like them.’ |
[05:21.17] | I knew she was angry but I didn't care. |
[05:26.75] | But then I learned my new friends took drugs,and I began to take drugs,too. |
[05:33.56] | It was wrong and stupid,I know that now,but I was unhappy and angry. |
[05:40.41] | The police came to the college to arrest some of the students. |
[05:46.59] | They didn't arrest me,but I had to leave the college.It was a bad time. |
[05:53.73] | My mother was very unhappy with me. |
[05:58.15] | ‘What am I going to do with you,Carol?she said. |
[06:03.94] | ‘I'm sorry,’I told her. |
[06:08.43] | ‘We'll go back to England,'she said. |
[06:12.40] | ‘You can find a college there.Perhaps you can be happier in England.’ |
[06:19.28] | ‘All right,’I said.‘I want to forget what's happened. |
[06:25.87] | I want to forget what I've done and begin a new life,be a new person.’ |
[06:32.54] | A month later,we came back to England. |
[06:39.68] | We lived in London,in a hotel. |
[06:44.03] | It was strange,at first,with all the red buses and everybody speaking English. |
[06:50.75] | It was the beginning of the summer, |
[06:53.41] | Three months before college began in the autumn. |
[06:57.57] | London was full of tourists. |
[07:01.19] | We looked at all the famous buildings—Buckingham Palace,the Tower of London. |
[07:07.67] | And we went to restaurants and theatres in the evenings. |
[07:12.69] | It was interesting and exciting and I began to forget the bad times in Hong Kong. |
[07:20.15] | ‘I'm pleased we came to London,’I told my mother. |
[07:24.79] | But after a few weeks,she said,‘You need to find a college,Carol. |
[07:31.54] | You must go on studying.And I need a job.’ |
[07:36.05] | That evening,we looked in the newspapers. |
[07:41.74] | ‘What about this?’I said.I showed my mother a job in the newspaper. |
[07:50.78] | SECRETARY |
[07:52.18] | for the summer months |
[07:53.72] | on a small private island in Scotland. |
[07:58.39] | Live with the family in a big house. |
[08:01.96] | interseting work and good pay |
[08:04.45] | for the right person. |
[08:07.37] | Phone Greta Poss.Telephone number 071… |
[08:12.53] | ‘Well,that sounds interesting,'said my mother. |
[08:16.48] | ‘I'd like to work as a secretary on an island in Scotland. |
[08:20.49] | It's a beautiful country,Carol,and you can go to a college there in the autumn.’ |
[08:27.34] | ‘And it's a place to live for the summer,’I said.‘Hotels are expensive.’ |
[08:34.74] | My mother telephoned Greta Ross. |
[08:39.43] | Come and see me tomorrow,Greta Ross told her. |
[08:44.12] | ‘Come to Savoy Hotel at eleven o'clock.’ |
[08:48.52] | I went to Savoy Hotel with my mother. |
[08:53.75] | It was big and expensive,bigger than our hotel,and in the centre of London. |
[09:00.82] | ‘Mum needs this job,I thought. |
[09:04.48] | ‘And a private island in Scotland is a nice place to live. |
[09:08.92] | Perhaps I can forget what's happened if I go there.’ |
[09:12.78] | ‘Room twenty-two,'said the woman at the hotel desk. |
[09:18.23] | ‘Go on up.Mrs Ross will see you now.’ |
[09:22.17] | Greta Ross was waiting for us. |
[09:26.53] | She was about thirty years old and very beautiful. |
[09:31.39] | She wore an expensive red dress and her hair was very long and dark. |
[09:37.91] | ‘This is my daughter,Carol,'said my mother. |
[09:44.25] | ‘Hallo,Carol,'said Greta Ross. |
[09:47.88] | ‘Hallo,’I said. |
[09:50.70] | ‘Carol is eighteen years old,'said my mother. |
[09:55.54] | ‘Can she come with me,if I get the job? |
[09:58.08] | Perhaps she can help in the house or in the garden. |
[10:02.07] | She likes gardening.She's studying farming at college.’ |
[10:06.13] | ‘Perhaps,said Greta Ross.‘There's a small farm on the island.’ |
[10:13.21] | ‘I'd like to work on the farm,’I said. |
[10:16.93] | Greta Ross looked at my mother. |
[10:19.77] | ‘How long did you live in Hong Kong,Mrs Sanders?’ |
[10:24.97] | ‘Seven years,’answered my mother. |
[10:28.41] | ‘My husband died in a plane crash last year, |
[10:32.21] | So we've come back to live in England.’ |
[10:34.79] | ‘Where did you live before Hong Kong?’ |
[10:38.12] | ‘We lived in India for three years.’ |
[10:42.15] | Then Greta Ross took my mother into a room and asked her more questions. |
[10:49.43] | I waited outside. |
[10:51.38] | ‘Greta Ross is nice,’I thought.‘I hope my mother gets the job.’ |
[10:58.56] | Soon after,the door opened and my mother came out.She was smiling. |
[11:04.97] | Greta Ross said,‘Please wait here for a minute,Mrs Sanders. |
[11:10.94] | I want to make a phone call.'she went back into the room,and closed the door. |
[11:17.93] | I was sitting on a chair near the door, |
[11:21.17] | And I could just hear Greta Ross's voice speaking on the phone. |
[11:26.18] | ‘I think I've found someone,'she was saying. |
[11:30.84] | ‘She has a daughter,but the girl can work in the garden or on the farm… |
[11:35.91] | Don't worry,they've been away from England for ten years… |
[11:40.30] | It'll be all right,I tell you…Don't worry.’ |
[11:46.20] | After a few minutes,Greta Ross put down the phone and came ont of the room. |
[11:53.95] | ‘You've got the job,'she told my mother. |
[11:58.12] | My mother was pleased.‘Thank you,'she replied. |
[12:03.08] | I was pleased,too,but now I was worried about that phone call. |
[12:08.74] | I didn't understand it. |

[05:21.17] | I knew she was angry but I didn' t care |
[05:26.75] | But then I learned my new friends took drugs, and I began to take drugs, too |
[05:33.56] | It was wrong and stupid, I know that now, but I was unhappy and angry |
[05:40.41] | The police came to the college to arrest some of the students |
[05:46.59] | They didn' t arrest me, but I had to leave the college It was a bad time |
[05:53.73] | My mother was very unhappy with me |
[05:58.15] | ' What am I going to do with you, Carol? she said |
[06:03.94] | ' I' m sorry,' I told her |
[06:08.43] | ' We' ll go back to England,' she said |
[06:12.40] | ' You can find a college there Perhaps you can be happier in England' |
[06:19.28] | ' All right,' I said' I want to forget what' s happened |
[06:25.87] | I want to forget what I' ve done and begin a new life, be a new person' |
[06:32.54] | A month later, we came back to England |
[06:39.68] | We lived in London, in a hotel |
[06:44.03] | It was strange, at first, with all the red buses and everybody speaking English |
[06:50.75] | It was the beginning of the summer, |
[06:53.41] | Three months before college began in the autumn |
[06:57.57] | London was full of tourists |
[07:01.19] | We looked at all the famous buildings Buckingham Palace, the Tower of London |
[07:07.67] | And we went to restaurants and theatres in the evenings |
[07:12.69] | It was interesting and exciting and I began to forget the bad times in Hong Kong |
[07:20.15] | ' I' m pleased we came to London,' I told my mother |
[07:24.79] | But after a few weeks, she said,' You need to find a college, Carol |
[07:31.54] | You must go on studying And I need a job' |
[07:36.05] | That evening, we looked in the newspapers |
[07:41.74] | ' What about this?' I said I showed my mother a job in the newspaper |
[07:50.78] | SECRETARY |
[07:52.18] | for the summer months |
[07:53.72] | on a small private island in Scotland |
[07:58.39] | Live with the family in a big house |
[08:01.96] | interseting work and good pay |
[08:04.45] | for the right person |
[08:07.37] | Phone Greta Poss Telephone number 071 |
[08:12.53] | ' Well, that sounds interesting,' said my mother |
[08:16.48] | ' I' d like to work as a secretary on an island in Scotland |
[08:20.49] | It' s a beautiful country, Carol, and you can go to a college there in the autumn' |
[08:27.34] | ' And it' s a place to live for the summer,' I said' Hotels are expensive' |
[08:34.74] | My mother telephoned Greta Ross |
[08:39.43] | Come and see me tomorrow, Greta Ross told her |
[08:44.12] | ' Come to Savoy Hotel at eleven o' clock' |
[08:48.52] | I went to Savoy Hotel with my mother |
[08:53.75] | It was big and expensive, bigger than our hotel, and in the centre of London |
[09:00.82] | ' Mum needs this job, I thought |
[09:04.48] | ' And a private island in Scotland is a nice place to live |
[09:08.92] | Perhaps I can forget what' s happened if I go there' |
[09:12.78] | ' Room twenty two,' said the woman at the hotel desk |
[09:18.23] | ' Go on up Mrs Ross will see you now' |
[09:22.17] | Greta Ross was waiting for us |
[09:26.53] | She was about thirty years old and very beautiful |
[09:31.39] | She wore an expensive red dress and her hair was very long and dark |
[09:37.91] | ' This is my daughter, Carol,' said my mother |
[09:44.25] | ' Hallo, Carol,' said Greta Ross |
[09:47.88] | ' Hallo,' I said |
[09:50.70] | ' Carol is eighteen years old,' said my mother |
[09:55.54] | ' Can she come with me, if I get the job? |
[09:58.08] | Perhaps she can help in the house or in the garden |
[10:02.07] | She likes gardening She' s studying farming at college' |
[10:06.13] | ' Perhaps, said Greta Ross' There' s a small farm on the island' |
[10:13.21] | ' I' d like to work on the farm,' I said |
[10:16.93] | Greta Ross looked at my mother |
[10:19.77] | ' How long did you live in Hong Kong, Mrs Sanders?' |
[10:24.97] | ' Seven years,' answered my mother |
[10:28.41] | ' My husband died in a plane crash last year, |
[10:32.21] | So we' ve come back to live in England' |
[10:34.79] | ' Where did you live before Hong Kong?' |
[10:38.12] | ' We lived in India for three years' |
[10:42.15] | Then Greta Ross took my mother into a room and asked her more questions |
[10:49.43] | I waited outside |
[10:51.38] | ' Greta Ross is nice,' I thought' I hope my mother gets the job' |
[10:58.56] | Soon after, the door opened and my mother came out She was smiling |
[11:04.97] | Greta Ross said,' Please wait here for a minute, Mrs Sanders |
[11:10.94] | I want to make a phone call' she went back into the room, and closed the door |
[11:17.93] | I was sitting on a chair near the door, |
[11:21.17] | And I could just hear Greta Ross' s voice speaking on the phone |
[11:26.18] | ' I think I' ve found someone,' she was saying |
[11:30.84] | ' She has a daughter, but the girl can work in the garden or on the farm |
[11:35.91] | Don' t worry, they' ve been away from England for ten years |
[11:40.30] | It' ll be all right, I tell you Don' t worry' |
[11:46.20] | After a few minutes, Greta Ross put down the phone and came ont of the room |
[11:53.95] | ' You' ve got the job,' she told my mother |
[11:58.12] | My mother was pleased' Thank you,' she replied |
[12:03.08] | I was pleased, too, but now I was worried about that phone call |
[12:08.74] | I didn' t understand it |
