Part 1: Listen and answer questions 1-2
VICTOR: Right, well, for our presentation shall I start with the early life of Thor Heyerdahl?
OLIVIA: Sure. Why don’t you begin with describing the type of boy he was, especially his passion for collecting things.
VICTOR: That’s right, he had his own the little museum. And I think it’s unusual for children to develop their own values and not join in their parents’ hobbies; I’m thinking of how Heyerdahl wouldn’t go hunting with his dad, for example.
OLIVIA: Yeah, he preferred to learn about nature by listening to his mother read to him. And quite early on he knew he wanted to become an explorer when he grew up. That came from his camping trips he went on in Norway I think …
VICTOR: No, it was climbing that he spent his time on as a young man.
