Red Line 3, Coursebook

(A clock strikes midnight, sounds of small excited crowd.) Twin 2: Buy your tickets for the tour of Canterville House! Twin 1: A tour of a different kind! Child 1: It’s not a normal tour with a boring guide. It’s a real Ghost Tour and the guide is a ghost! They say he goes through walls! Child 2: He made the moon come out. There were heavy clouds just an hour ago. Child 3: Yeah! And he sometimes wears a cool suit of armour! I saw him on TV. Child 4: You can win something if you guess the weight of his chains. This is much better than the London Dungeon! Other children: Yes, this is really exciting. / Can we take photos? / I don’t know, but can you see ghosts in photos? / Great, I think the tour is starting. Mrs Otis: Welcome to Canterville House everyone! The Ghost Tour starts in the Great Hall. This way please! (Crowd noise fades to background.) Mr Otis: Well, how do you like your new job, Sir Simon? Ghost: I love it, Mr Otis! It’s so much better than my old one! I meet more people. I haven’t had so many friends since … 1575! I never knew people could be so nice. I don’t want to frighten them at all. Twin 1: Hey, hi, Sir Simon! Twin 2: We’ve sold so many tickets for your Ghost Tour! Ghost: Well done, boys! Virginia: With the money we can fix the roof so the rain doesn’t come in. Ghost: I’ve never seen so many people here! And it’s all thanks to your family … Your family has saved Canterville House! Oh, I must go. It’s time for the Ghost Tour! (Talking to the crowd.) Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls! Welcome to Canterville House! (Sound of excited crowd.)
