Unit 3. Hard times. Track 3 .1

Hey, I'm Barry from YDS Street Interviews. Can you spare a few minutes for us?

We're asking people about their most memorable moments.

Hi, I'm Jane from America.

Well, the most memorable moment for me was, um, yeah, it was in 2017.

We went to Melbourne to watch the Men's Singles final in Australian Open Tennis Tournament.

We stayed there for a week.

Oh, fantastic. What did you do there?

We arrived in Melbourne two days earlier than the final.

When we arrived there, we first checked in at our hotel.

Secondly, we planned a two -day program to visit the tourist attractions in Melbourne.

Well, I'm sure you had a wonderful time there. Tell us about the details.

We started the following day visiting Royal Botanic Gardens, Victoria.

All those ponds and lakes and gardens were wonderful to see.

We spent a couple of hours there, and while we were walking around, we also saw many interesting plants.

After that, we went to see the National Gallery of Victoria

and enjoyed the amazing art collections in the museum.

Then, we visited the famous Melbourne Sky Deck on the 88th floor of Eureka Tower.

The city view from that point is simply breathtaking, especially at night.

It was really crowded.

Some of the visitors were enjoying the view only, and some others were taking photos as well.

Wow, it must be great to be there. So, before the championship tennis match, you had one more day, I guess.

Yes, but we didn't do much the following day, as we were really tired.

Anyway, then the big day arrived, and finally we were all there, ready to watch a great final.

While we were waiting for the match to start, we were all so excited.

Hmm, I see. How was the match anyway?

Oh, the best. It was between the two tennis legends, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.

It lasted around three and a half hours, and Federer won the match.

When he held the trophy up in the air, some people in the audience were crying.

Some people, on the other hand, were singing and dancing.

I can tell you that it was a truly unforgettable experience, seeing two of the greatest players of all times together in the court.

A memorable moment indeed.

Exactly.
