Answer Key Test 5: Units 112

Karin: Actually, there is. The architect

Steven Bartle had a big influence
on me, and we actually met by
coincidence. I was in the hospital
after an operation, and Steven was
in the next room; he had had
exactly the same operation!
Anyway, we met in the patients
lounge and started talking, and it
turned out that he had just
finished designing a house to
protect an endangered birds
habitat from overdevelopment. He
and I had similar ideas, and Im
so grateful to him for helping me
see what I needed to do. And just
imagine, if I hadnt had that
operation I might never have
met him!

Interviewer: Hi, Karin. Thanks for agreeing to
meet with me today. Sorry I didnt
give you more warning, but my
deadline is in just a few days.
Karin: Thats OK. I always enjoy doing
interviewsit makes me feel so
important! So whats the
interview for?
Interviewer: Its for the magazines monthly
profile. Youve probably seen it
its called Living a Life.
Karin: Yes, I have. I really enjoy that
section. So what do you want
to know?
Interviewer: First of all, you spell your name
K-A-R-I-N, right?
Karin: Yes, K-A-R-I-N.
Interviewer: And youre an architect, right?

Interviewer: Thats a great story. OK, now that

weve talked about your work,
what do you do to unwind?

Karin: Not many people know this, but I

actually studied engineeringso
youd really have to say that Im
an engineer.

Karin: I hate to admit it, but I love

shopping. Since Im someone who
wants to protect the environment,
I have to be carefulI always try
to buy things that dont damage
the environment. The other thing
that really relaxes me, especially
after a stressful day at work, is
watching comedies on TV. I love
to laugh! Like they say, laughter
is the best medicine.

Interviewer: And you prefer to design houses

instead of large buildings, right?
Karin: Thats right. I dont design typical
houses, though.
Interviewer: Can you explain whats different
about them?
Karin: Well, theyre houses that make a
difference! The whole idea behind
my houses is to protect nature. It
seems to me that every part of our
natural world is endangered
trees, animals, water, airand its
extremely important to do
everything we can to avoid
destroying nature any more.
Interviewer: That sounds like an important
thing to do! Is there anyone who
has influenced you in choosing
your work?

Interviewer: Thats true! OK, one more

question. Have you ever done
anything that you really regret?
Karin: Hmmmlet me think. Well,
there is one thing. I had the
chance to study in Europe when I
was nineteen, and I decided not
to go. If Id gone, I think I would
have realized what my goals were
a lot sooner.
Interviewer: Well, Karin, thank you very
much. Now all I need to do is to
take a photograph of you and
