【听力原文】News Report Three
A Philippine fisherman was feeling down on his luck when a housefire forced him to clear
out his possessions and change locations. Then, a good luck charm that he had kept under his bed
changed his life. The unidentified man had fished out a giant pearl from the ocean when his
anchor got stuck on the rock while sailing off a coastal island in the Philippines ten years ago.
When he was forced to sell it, the shocked tourist agent at Puerto Princesca told him that the
77-pound giant pearl that he had kept hidden in his rundown wooden house was the biggest pearl
in the world, which was valued at 76 million pounds. The pearl of Allah, which is currently on
display in a New York museum, only weighs 14 pounds. That is five times smaller than the pearl
that the fisherman just handed in. The monstrous pearl, measured at 1 foot wide and 2.2 feet long,
is going to be verified by local experts and international authorities before hopefully going on
display to attract more tourists in the little town.

M: OK, sure. This is a family business started by my grandfather in 1950. We employ just over 100 people. We manufacture an export stone for buildings and other constructions.

W: Wow, congratulations, Simon! The place looks absolutely amazing!
M: Really? You think so?
W: Of course. I love it. It looks like you had a professional interior designer. But you didn't, did you?
M: No. I did it all by myself with a little help from my brother, Greg. He's actually in the construction business, which was really helpful.
W: Honestly, I'm impressed! I know I can probably repaint the walls in my house over a weekend or something, but not a full renovation. Where did you get your ideas? I wouldn't know where to start.
M: Well, for a while now, I've been regularly buying home design magazines. Every now and then, I'd
saved the pictures I liked. Believe it or not, I have a full notebook of magazine pages. Since by overall style was quite minimal, I thought and hoped a whole renovation wouldn't be too difficult. And sure enough, with Greg's help, it was very achievable.
W: Wasn't it expensive? I have imagined a project like this could be.
M: Actually, it was surprisingly affordable. I managed to sell a lot of my old furniture and put that extra money towards the new material. Greg was also able to get some discount materials from a recent project he was working on as well.
W: Great! If you don't mind, I'd like to pick your brain a bit more. Johansson and I are thinking of renovating our sitting room, not the whole house, not yet anyway. And we'd love to get some inspiration from your experience. Are you free to come over for a coffee early next week?
