gym. Or if you like studying, how about learning
something new like a language?

5.

Male: Yes, from the time I was a young boy. My dad is a

live. I loved it. I think that’s when I knew what I
wanted to be when I grew up.

particularly admire?

LISTENING TRANSCRIPT
Interviewer: Good evening and welcome to this edition
of That’s Strange. Today on the programme
I have Dr Ian Roberts talking about a
phenomenon known as crop circles.
Welcome, Dr Roberts.
Dr Roberts : Thank you.
Interviewer: So Ian, for those of us who don’t know, tell
us, what is a crop circle?
Dr Roberts: A crop circle is a large pattern formed by
flattening crops such as wheat or barley.
Interviewer: And what is so special about crop circles?
Dr Roberts: There’s a lot of controversy surrounding
crop circles. Many of your listeners might
have seen the film Signs with Mel Gibson in
which intelligent aliens are responsible for
elaborate crop circles that suddenly appear
all over the world. Some people believe
that this idea is not that far from the truth
because many crop circles are enormous
complex geometric formations that are
created overnight and it’s difficult to believe
that humans could create them.
Interviewer : Is there any proof that they are created by,
let’s say, mysterious forces?
Dr Roberts : Well, there has been some video footage
showing small bright balls of light in and
around the crop circles. Some of these
bright lights have been filmed during the
day. As to whether there is a connection
between these lights and crop circle creation
we still don’t know. Scientists have analysed
the wheat from crop circles to find out if it
has any unusual features. They discovered
that the plants had been heated rapidly to
very high temperatures. This indicated that
large bursts of energy were used to create
the crop circles.
