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.

21 Doctor    22 ARGYLL 23 (Saturday) (the) 30(th) / thirtieth (of) (July) 24 4/four 25 (a) book 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!

21 White 22 ACHILL 23 1859 24 36 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 …
