Boy in Rome (An Excerpt) My grandfather was a tycoon and I think that is why my father liked to spend winters in Rome and summers in the US. But unfortunately my father died and was buried in Rome and after that there were no more trips to America and we stayed in Rome all the year round. But I wanted to go home to the USA. I talked with my mother about it and she said it was out of the question. I couldn’t go and live there alone. Then I asked if I could go back for the summer and she said she couldn’t afford this she was going to rent a villa and then I asked if I got the money myself could I go and she said of course. I began to look around then for a part-time job and it was hard to find, but I asked Tibi and he was helpful. One day when I came home he asked me if I would like to work for a sightseeing company as a guide on Saturdays and Sundays. This was perfect for me and they tried me out the next Saturday. The Americans liked me I guess, because I reminded them of home. The money was fair and the hours fitted in with my school and I also thought that the job might offer me an opportunity to meet some wealthy American who would take me back to the US but I never did. I saw lots of American wanderers and I saw, in my course of duty, how great is the hunger in many of them who have comfortable and lovely homes to wander around the world and see its sights. Sometimes when I watched them piling into the bus it seemed to me that we are a wandering breed like the nomads. On the trip we first went to the villa where they had a half hour to see the place and take pictures, and then I counted them off and we drove up the big hill to Tivoli. They took more pictures and I showed them where to buy the cheapest souvenirs and then we would drive past all the new factories and into Rome. In the wintertime it was dark when we got back to town and the bus would go around to all the hotels where they were staying. The tourists were always very quiet on the trip back and I think this was because, in their sightseeing bus, they felt the strangeness of Rome swirling around them with its lights and haste and cooking smells, where they had no friends and relations, no business of any kind really but to visit ruins and listen to people speaking another language. Travelling Learn the dialogue and reproduce it in pairs. Maggie: You haven’t forgotten about our holiday, have you, Jim? Jim: No, of course not, dear. M.: And you still want us to go abroad, don’t you? J.: I suppose so. M.: Well then, I met Jane today and she came up with a terrific idea. Robert is going to sell his scooter and buy a second-hand car and she wants to know whether we’ll join them on a tour of the Continent. It’s a marvellous idea, isn’t it? J.: I dare say it is. M.: They are thinking of driving to Moscow through several European countries. If we share the cost of petrol between us, it won’t be too expensive, will it? J.: I shouldn’t think so. M.

M.: We’ll be able to get visas and things quite easily, won’t we? J.: I should think so. M.: We’ll have a wonderful time. And after all, it is very important to get to know other countires, isn’t it? J.: I suppose it is. M.: Jim! You are being very indifferent about the whole thing. Do try and show a bit more enthusiasm. You want to go abroad this summer, don’t you? J.: Well, I do, Maggie, but I would like you to be more persistent. First it was visiting Jamaica, then a cruise round South America, then camping in Majorca, and now you come up with this idea about Moscow. M.: Jim, don’t you think you are being unfair? After all, I’m only doing my best to fix up an interesting holiday for us, and I really think this latest idea is the best one. J.: Well, it isn’t so bad, I suppose, unless you change your mind again. And you won’t do it, will you, Maggie? M.: Well, I don’t suppose so. But you never know. Notes
