Listen to the following talk and fill in the missing words. You will hear the talk twice. (2 marks for each correct phrase)You remember that line of Robert Burns about seeing ourselves as others see us?I wonder how many of us have suddenly experienced that - have suddenly, as it were,been made to regard ourselves from outside, through the eyes, perhaps, of a foreign friend? Let me give you an example of what I mean.An African chief, a man whom I had met in his own country in East Africa, came to England for the first time when he was well past sixty. He had never before left his own country - in which he held a high and responsible post - and he flew over here, rocketed as it were in a matter of hours from his own simple and familiar African surroundings to the complex and shifting crowds of London. A friend of mine went to call on him the morning after his arrival and asked him how he was and whether he was enjoying himself. The African chief said that he was feeling well, but he had had a frightening experience earlier that morning. He had gone, he said, to have a look round the streets and had found himself at Victorian Station. He said, 'Naturally I went in to see your trains. And I stood near some iron railings, by an iron gate, to watch a train come in and it was there that I saw this frightening thing. For, as the train came nearer and nearer to where I was standing, all the doors at one moment swung outward, and, while the train was still moving, a great many men jumped out, quite silently, and they began to run towards me. They carried umbrellas like spears, and their faces were set and unsmiling. I thought something terrible was about to happen, so I ran away'. Well there it is. There is the 8:50 or the 9:15, or whatever your business train may be, arriving at a London station. And there we are, as this elderly African saw us, on his first day among us.VII.Write the phrases or sentences you hear from the tape. You will hear each of the sentences twice.
