MARTIN: |
Good morning. It's a nice day, isn't it? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
RANGER: |
Beautiful. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
MARTIN: |
Do
you think it will rain? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
RANGER: |
I
don't think it will rain today. Maybe it will rain tonight. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
MARTIN: |
I
hope it doesn't rain today. I have only one day to see the park.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
RANGER: |
Enjoy your day. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
MARTIN: |
I'm
a reporter. May I ask you some questions? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
RANGER: |
Sure. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
MARTIN: |
How
long have you worked in the park? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
RANGER: |
About ten years. I became a ranger after I finished college. I
studied forestry in college. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
MARTIN: |
How
large is the park? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
RANGER: |
It's five thousand acres. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
MARTIN: |
How
many people visit the park? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
RANGER: |
We
have about three million visitors each year. Most of the visitors
come in the summer, of course. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
MARTIN: |
Does anyone come in the winter? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
RANGER: |
Yes. Some people like the winter weather, the cold, and the snow.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
MARTIN: |
What can you see in the winter? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
RANGER: |
You
can see the animals better. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
MARTIN: |
Do
you have many animals in the park? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
RANGER: |
Not
very many. The parks in the West have many more animals. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
MARTIN: |
Why
do people come to the park? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
RANGER: |
Ask
them. One thing is the water. We have a river, a lake, several
streams, and this waterfall. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
MARTIN: |
Yes, it's beautiful. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
RANGER: |
Excuse me. I have to go to work. |
|
|
|
|

Thanks for your time. |

You're welcome. |
