Lesson 31Dear Mum and Dad, I ’m emailing you through the Redstone Ranch website. You can email me back on paul.bruce@redstoneranch.com. I ’ll call you next week, when I can use a Broadband phone. My assessment at Redstone was a bit strange. They asked me to do a lot of tick-box tests. Then we did some outdoor activities. They told me to lead someone up an easy climb. Then they asked me to lead a small group, in kayaks, on white water. After that, the main question was, ‘Where did you learn all these “backcountry skills”. I said, ‘I grew up in “back country ”. In Scotland, I sometimes skied to school. ’ They liked that. Also, my time in the London Marathon was big news. Three hours or less is magic! I met the top guy, Ed, and he asked me to start next week. Of course I said yes. I won’t be able to travel much in the US this time, but it ’s great to have this chance. I ’ll live free, too! Redstone will pay all my expenses. Talk to you next week! Love, Paul Lesson33 1.Have you heard from Paul? Yes,he phoned us last night. How are they getting on? They're both working. 2. Claire's got a job in Washington in a photo library. And Paul's just started at Redstone Ranch. The most expensive resort in the world! What's it like? 3.It's very glamorous. There are nine swimming pools, and six of them are outdoors! There are ten gymnasiums, each for a different activity. 4. There are horses to ride, and rocks to climb, and kayaks on the river, lakes and forest ... It sounds wonderful! 5. And the guests there are very glamorous, too. Paul says that he has never seen so many beautiful women in his life! 6. Ah! And what does Claire say about that? I don't think...
