Hello. My name's Natalie and I'm going to tell you a few things about my job. I'm an Australian tour guide and I spend most of my time taking groups of Australian tourist around Europe: England and Italy mostly, but sometimes France and Germany too.    It surprises people when I tell them how little experience I had when I first started in this job. Well, you know, obviously, languages are useful, but while knowing some history does help, it's not crucial. And that's because you're trained out on the road for seven weeks before you begin. Well, I'd done a two-week European trip as a tourist the year before starting, so that was a great help.    Yes, there's a lot of competition for these jobs in Austalia. I'd worked in a travel agency there, and also done a summer in the Maldives working for a holiday company, but I still had to go through quite a complicated recuitment procedure before getting this job. The application form alone was quite demanding, they asked all sorts of questions, and I wasn't at all surethat I'd put down the right things. Anyway, I did get through to the interview stage. You have a formal interview and then you have to stand up in front of a group of people and give a talk; they want to see how you're likely to perform in the actual situation, because it's no good being shy or too timid. Anyway, both these bits went well, because I'm quite confident really, on the whole.     And the company's right to be choosy, because to be a good travel guide, you've got to have a genuine interest not only in the travel, but also in the people. The tours range from ten to forty-six days in length and you're with that coachload of fifty people all the time. You're never really off duty because you're responsible for making sure all the arrangements go smoothly; keeping everyone happy.    And it's the love of travelling rather than the pay that attracts people to the job. While you're away, obviously all your expenses are paid, in my country, you get a weekly payment of up to $150, depending on your experience. Some other companies have contracts which offer bonuses of $50 per trip, if the feedback forms the customers fill in are positive, but that's not always fair, because you do get difficult customers and you can't always please everybody.     But there's a lot of job satisfaction if things go well and this more than makes up for the demanding schedule. Because the work is seasonal, you don't get much of a break between trips. And often the hardest thing is finishing a trip, saying goodbye to people you're just getting to know, and then having to turn round and welcome another group.     Now, if you've anything you'd like to ask...
Part 2 
Now some information about two events happening today in the historic town of Langham, a lovely place, famous for antique shops and excellent restaurants. With its castle and beautiful 200 year-old theatre, it's well worth a visit if you've never been.    First, there's a new exhibition opening today at the Wildlife Art Gallery, which is quite close to the theatre in Castle Street. Now if you like paintings that depict animals and birds, then this gallery really is the place for you. The exhibition opening today is of work by the painter Wendy Wilson. You may know her work because a few weeks ago there was a fascinating programme about her on televisin. On the programme, you saw how Wendy goes all over the world, for example to remote parts of Africa and central Asia, painting pictures of animals and birds.    In fact, today's exhibition is tied in with a book that the gallery's launching entitled 'Tigers in India' and some of Wendy's big cat pictures, painted when she visited the Indian sub-continent last year, are featured in the book. And facinating thing about Wendy is that, unlike many artist, she doesn't paint from photographs of animals. Rather than carrying a camera, she literally stands a couple of metres away from bears and lions, etc. and paints the most stunning pieces of work from life.    Now, Wendy's going to be there today, if you decide to go to Langham, opens at 11 a.m., so get there early and you might be able to combine the two. This is in the Farming Museum which is located in Market Street. Today, in the museum, as well as all the exhibits related to the history of agriculture, you'll be able to see the artist Edward Colne at work. Edward, who makes objects out of metal, has been invited to create a piece of sculpture for the museum, and visitors will be able to watch hm at work. For this project, his raw material is all kinds of metal agricultural tools which people have brought in. Yesterday, he was working on the main structure of the piece, which is made out of a large wheel, and today he's doing the decorative work.    As well as the big wheel which will be static, the sculpture will feature all kinds of smaller moving parts and they're going to have it on permanent show in the building when it's finished.     Now, ...
