extra answers. Then watch the video podcast from 2:10-2:52 to check your answers.
claustrophobia trapped in a small space lying agoraphobia
liked or loved fear of illness technophobia
Chris: I suppose not being 1 .
Stuart: I would have thought it would be something like 2 because it would just keep people in
their homes and not being able to, sort of, integrate with society in any way.
Hannah: Perhaps, 3 , perhaps, especially in London because you are so ‘closed in’ a lot of the time,
so things like lifts and also transport, so lying perhaps and using trains, tubes: I think that would
probably get in the way quite a lot.
Colin: People like to move and like their freedom and I think to be 4 is quite scary for a lot of
people.
