IV. Read the interview with Prince William and match the questions with his

answers. Przeczytaj wywiad z Ksiħciem Williamem i poþĢcz pytania z jego

odpowiedziami .

As he approaches the end of his geography degree at the University of St Andrews,

Prince William has spoken of what he plans for the future, how he may serve in the

Armed Forces and how he managed to fit in to normal student life in Scotland.

1ÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈ.

I've had a really good time, it's been brilliant. I've really enjoyed it.

2ÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈ.

Basically, apart from the fact all the locals are really warm, friendly and I get on really

well with them, I've been left alone by the media, in a big way actually, and for that I

am very grateful. It's been just three and a half years obviously so far where I've been

very independent and been left alone to study and do my own thing.

3ÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈ.

Definitely. There's lots of people saying it's impossible to lead a normal life really but

actually up here, and with the media out of it, it's amazing how people just get on with

their lives and will not bother you. Everyone up here, I have to say, has been as good

as gold, I couldn't ask for anything better.

I used to walk around with a baseball cap; I don't anymore because everyone doesn't

really care anymore. It's just brilliant.

4ÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈ.

No. That's a different issue actually, but no I haven't.

5ÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈ.

I do all my own shopping. I go out, get takeaway, rent videos, go to the cinema, just

basically anything I want to really. There are obviously certain talks I can't go to if

people come up here, [but] that's really the only restriction.

6ÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈ.

Because it's modular up here, I've done half my degree already thank goodness,

because I could be in a lot of trouble if it all came at once. I'm now doing the other

half this year. I've got my dissertation to write, two exams at the end of this year, then

I'll have review essays and other exams to go on at the end of May next year

7ÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈ.

I am, because as much as I've loved St Andrews and I've loved being here and being

at university, I am ready now to get out and do different stuff. There's so much I want

to do and it worries me occasionally I won't be able to do it all. But I'll make a good

start of it anyway

Have you been able to lead as normal a life as someone like you can?

Are you able to do basic things, such as going to the shops?

You haven't had to wear a wig or anything ridiculous like that?

Have you had a good time at St Andrews?

What's been so good about it?

Are you excited about the future?

IsnÓt this quite a critical time for a student as far as exams go?
