London in the springtime A visit to London can be tempted at any time of year, but spring is the best time to head for this popular city. Although seeing the bright lights of the Christmas decorations in winter is an amazed experience, walking through crowds of shoppers in the cold gets exhausting after a while. In spring, it becomes easier to get around, and after a day’s sightseeing, you won’t feel as if you’ve got trekking uphill. London’s many parks are at their best at this time of year if you fancy a relaxed walk away from the noise of the traffic. Visitors are often surprising by the size of London’s parks and how central they are, but they’re never disappointed by them. If you’re lucky, you may even see a play or a concert in the park, as there’s usually some cultural event going without.

1 Read the text and explain in your own words what an intern is. Find the part(s) of the text that tell you. Would you like to be an intern?

The not-so-secret blog of an intern, aged 21

Who am I? I’m Gerry Higgins and I’m from Donegal, Ireland. I graduated just over a year ago with a degree in Public Relations. At the moment, I’m an intern in a well-known market research company.

7.06 p.m. on Friday 22 October

What a day! I must admit, when I first started my internship (about two months ago for those who haven’t read my previous posts!) I dreamt of days like this. There’s a lot of bad press about being an intern. Sure, it’s unpaid work; sure, I have to make other people’s tea and coffee; but if you’re as ambitious as I am, it’s one of the best ways to get work experience.

But let me get back to today. To celebrate the company’s 25th anniversary, we had an office party. It wasn’t all fun and games, though. Six weeks ago, it was made clear that I would be responsible for making most of the arrangements. That included clearing an area for the party on the day without breaking any of the safety regulations, sending emails giving details about the party and replying to all staff, and typing up and printing 136 name tags.

At first I enjoyed all the responsibility, but by the week before I was beginning to ask myself why they had trusted me to do all this. The biggest challenge on the day of the party was dealing with the caterers. I won’t go into the boring details, but it’s very annoying when the wrong food is brought in the wrong quantities and the bill is higher than we agreed.

But my big moment came just after the party started. ‘Gerry, I hear you’re a bit of a singer. Would you like to help me out with the entertainment? I was planning to play guitar and sing myself, but I’ve got a throat infection,’ the boss explained to me as he played a tune on his Fender. ‘I’d love to,’ was my reply. Even though I was exhausted, I finally had the chance to do what I’m best at. We made a tremendous double act. Now, the staff don’t see me as just the intern, but as an entertainer. As a result, they’ve given me a new nickname: the intern-tainer! Pretty cool, I thought!
