Can I start with the basic questions? Like how old are you? And where do you live? Duncan Sure. I’m 34. I live here in Edinburgh. Hamish What do you do here? Duncan Well, I’m a kilt designer. Like Howie, my family has been making kilts for generations. I made my first kilt with my Gran when I was 18. For centuries kilts were the norm for Scottish men. That is, until the English banned kilts, and tartan, back in 1735. Hamish Really? Duncan Yes, so that’s why I think men should wear kilts more often, like they did in the past. Not just at weddings like now. But they need to be modernised for daily wear like ours are. They have pockets for mobiles and some are even made of denim. I haven’t worn trousers since I was 21. Summer or winter, I wear a kilt. Hamish That’s amazing. Can I also ask a few more general questions? What’s your favourite place? Duncan Edinburgh, of course! It’s just the right size. And there’s always something happening. Hamish What should people see here in Edinburgh? Duncan The National Museum is interesting. I especially like the millennium clock. Hamish And my last question. What is your favourite possession and why? Duncan Besides my kilts? Definitely my mobile. It’s the latest version and takes great pictures.

B Talking about dates and time Ik heb doordeweeks school van 8:30 tot 15:30 uur. I’ve got school on weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Zou morgenmiddag om 16:00 uur je schikken? How about four o’clock tomorrow afternoon? Ik heb woensdagochtend een vergadering om kwart voor I have a meeting at (a) quarter to nine on Wednesday negen. morning. De afspraak is op de 25ste om half acht ’s avonds. The appointment is at half (past) seven in the evening on the 25th. Hoe laat is het? – 12 uur. What time is it? – It’s noon. Telling the time - Je gebruikt o’clock alleen als je praat over volle uren. Bijvoorbeeld: 4.00 four o’clock - Tot en met 30 minuten over het volle uur gebruik je past. Bijvoorbeeld: 4.30 half past four Let op: dit is dus anders dan in het Nederlands. Als je in het Engels half past four zegt, zeg je in het Nederlands ‘half vijf’. In Groot-Brittannië laten mensen het woord past soms zelfs weg, maar nog steeds betekent het dan hetzelfde: half two betekent 2.30, etc. - Vanaf 31 minuten over het volle uur gebruik je to. Bijvoorbeeld: 4.45 quarter to five - In het Engels tel je de minuten nooit tot of vanaf een halfuur, zoals in het Nederlands (bijvoorbeeld ‘vijf voor / over half drie’). In plaats daarvan zeg je: twenty-five minutes past / to four. - Als je twijfelt over hoe je een tijd uitspreekt, dan kun je altijd de uren en minuten in getallen noemen. Bijvoorbeeld: 3.35 three thirty-five
