some information, please. Is the swimming pool open every day? Woman: Not on Monday,
I’m afraid. Man: I like to swim
before breakfast. What time do you open? Woman: We open the
doors at six o’clock for the first swim of the day, the ‘early morning swim’,
we call it. That’s the best time to come, because after seven it gets very
busy. Man: I see. Woman: And don’t come
between nine thirty and twelve thirty because schools use the pool then. It’s
closed to everyone else. Man: OK. Do you have
lessons? I want to learn to swim better. Woman: Yes, every
afternoon. It’s seven pounds fifty a lesson or seventy pounds if you pay for
ten. Man: OK. When does
the next course begin? Woman: Let me see …
it’s on the ninth of March. Would you like to start then? Man: Yes please.
What’s the teacher’s name? Woman: It’s Roy
Fowler. That’s F O W L E R. He’s an excellent teacher. Man: Well, thank you
very much. My name’s … |

thirtieth (of) (July) 24 4/four (tickets) (per family) 25 (a) book (about the film) Audioscript Here is some good news! We
have some free cinema tickets for you. They usually cost five pounds. They are for a film
called The Elephant Doctor. It’s about a man who works in a zoo
and looks after the animals when they aren’t well. It’s a great film for all
the family. All you have to do to get
your free tickets is send your name and address on a postcard to Radio
South-West in Bristol. The address is twenty-seven Argyll Road – that’s A R G
Y double L. Send your postcard soon! Make
sure it arrives before next Saturday, that’s the thirtieth of July. All the
postcards will go into a bag and we will choose the twenty-five winners then. We have one hundred tickets
to give away, but I’m afraid we can only give four tickets to each family
because lots of people will want them. And we will send everybody who writes
to us a book. This is about the film and has pictures of the actors and the
animals in it. So send us that postcard now! |

I wasn’t at school today because I was ill. Can you tell me what our Biology

class, we talked about animals that live in water. For homework, we have to

by? Richard: Let me see …

You’ll find the books on the third shelf on the Biology bookshelf. We have to
look at part seven, pages a hundred and twenty-three to a hundred and
twenty-seven. Sally: OK. That’s not
very much. What is it about? Richard: That part’s all
about fish. It’s quite interesting. Mrs Knight says we’re going to study
lakes next week. Sally: Oh, right. Do
we have to read these pages for the lesson on Monday? Richard: We have until
Friday to do it. Sally: Oh good. I’ll
go to the library on Thursday. Thanks, Richard. See you tomorrow. |

your match last night, André? André: Yes. I’m much
better since I started having tennis lessons with my new teacher, Paul. Girl: How often do
you have lessons? André: Every Wednesday
because the only other day he teaches is Friday and I can’t go then. You like
tennis. Why don’t you come too? Girl: Hmm. How much
are the lessons? That’s the first question my parents will ask! André: I give Paul
twelve pounds and he teaches me for an hour. It’s not expensive. Girl: No. Maria pays
eighteen pounds an hour. André: But she goes to
the tennis club. Paul works at the tennis courts in Gerald Street. Girl: How do you
spell that? André: G E R A L D. Girl: OK. And what
time’s your lesson? Can I come and meet Paul next time? André: Yes. I start at
six fifteen and play until quarter past seven. You can come at the same time. Girl: OK. What should
I wear? André: You don’t need
to wear a tennis dress. Shorts and a T-shirt will be fine. Girl: All right. See
you then. |

(bedrooms) 25 fish / seafood Audioscript This week I’m going to tell
you about my favourite hotel. It’s in the west of Ireland and the best time
to go there is June. I’ve loved this hotel since I was a child. It’s called
The White Hotel because it’s always painted that colour. It’s built on one of
the most beautiful islands I have ever visited – Achill Island. You say
‘Akil’, but it’s spelt A C H I double L. It’s one of the oldest hotels
in this part of the country. It was built in eighteen fifty-nine and the rich
and famous have enjoyed going there ever since. You can see the sea or
mountains from every room. But it’s difficult to book a bedroom there because
there are only thirty-six of them and the hotel can’t take more than fifty
guests at one time. Visitors also enjoy the hotel
restaurant. People go there from all over the world to eat its fish. It’s
caught that day in the sea round the island. Try it cooked with tomatoes. So, if you want … |

Sorry you’re not in. Would you like to come to the theatre with me? There’s a
play on called The Dinner Party. It’s about a group of friends
who meet again after twenty-five years for a meal. People say it’s really
good. I know it’s your birthday on
August the twenty-seventh. Well, the play is on the twenty-ninth. I’ll pay
for your ticket as a birthday present if you like. It’s in the New Theatre. It’s
that big building in Church Street just across the road from the library. It
hasn’t been open long and it’s very nice and modern inside. The play starts at eight
o’clock, so why don’t we meet in the coffee bar first? I’ll see you there at
six forty-five and we can have a drink before it starts. If you’d like to come, call
me on my mobile. The number’s oh double seven four, three two three one six.
Speak to you soon. Bye. |
