Woman:   Last year’s school calendar was very popular. Because of this, we are going to make another one, ready for next year. (6) We hope to finish it by November, so that we can sell it in early December. We have decided to include drawings, rather than photos, in next year’s calendar. This is because we think it will be more interesting and less expensive to make.

If you would like to have your drawing in our calendar, you must enter it into our school competition. (7) The final date to enter the competition is October 12th. We hoped it would be October 20th, but we had to change the date as we need to print it by early November. We will choose a different drawing for each month and the best of all will be put on the front cover. The 12 inside pictures will be in black and white, and (8) the one on the front cover will be in colour. So (9) we need 13 pictures in total. (10) Please send your drawings to Mrs. Rivers. That’s R-I-V-E-R-S. She works in the geography department.

Man:   As you all know, Mr. Snow is leaving next month, at the end of the spring term. Unfortunately he decided not to stay until next year. (6) He is now 60 years old and he would like to stop teaching before he is 65.

We know that he is popular with our students and we would like to buy him a leaving present. If we collect enough money, we can buy him something really nice. (7) We have already collected £60, but we need at least £40 more to make a total of £100. Someone suggested buying a clock, and someone else suggested a watch. But (8) we decided to buy him a nice DVD player instead, because he loves watching films! Your teachers will collect money for Mr. Snow in the school cafeteria after lessons, next Friday.

We finish lessons at midday, on Friday 15th April. (9) On Saturday 16th we will meet at school at around 5.30 pm to prepare for the party. (10) The party starts at 7 in the evening. Then a student will give him the present. I hope all our teachers and some parents will be there and of course, all of you!

Man:   (6) We have changed the day of our sports day this year. This is because we want to include swimming events and our new swimming pool won’t be ready until June 4th. (6) The new date will be Friday, June 14th. I think this will be much better for everybody.

I hope that all of you will be interested in doing something for our sports day. (7) Please put your name on the events list, if you would like to take part. (7) The list will be put on the wall beside the library (8) until Thursday. (9) If you have any questions, Miss Pink, that’s P I N K, our sports teacher, will be available to answer them during lunch break, on Monday. We will have many of our usual events, such as a volleyball match and, of course, a football match. However, (10) this year we will also have one more new event. This is a cycling race in which teachers can take part. It will be at the end of the day, before prizes are given to the winners of each race.
