M:   I know most of you are interested in going on tomorrow’s class trip so here’s everything you need to know about it.

As our last visit to The Arts Museum was so popular, (6) I’m glad to say we’re going to The Music Museum this time.

I know we usually travel by train but a coach will be much faster this time. (7) The coach leaves at 8.30 am so we must have everyone on it by 8.20 at the latest. Please try not to be late.

We are going to meet at 8 o’clock (8) outside the library. This is the building opposite the gym.

(9) You can have your own snacks with you and you can buy water and drinks at the museum. No food will be served during our visit. (10) Tickets cost £9.50 but as we are a large group, we get a £3 discount, so that’s £6.50. Make sure you bring the money at the time of the visit if you haven’t paid already.

M:   Hi Emir! It’s Samuel here. Remember you asked me to look for a good car for you? Well, I think I have found one. The ad was on the college notice board outside the library and I met the woman selling it at the cafeteria.

The car she’s selling is really cheap. She bought it for £5,600, she was asking for £4,800 but as no one’s been interested in it, (6) she’ll give it to you for £4,200.

The car’s quite new. She’s only had it for almost a year. (7) She bought it on the 13th of August last year and she wants it gone by the 30th of the month.

She says (8) you can call her on 675509872. I think you should call her soon or she’ll sell it to someone else at this price.

If she doesn’t answer, (9) try emailing her at sophieturner@mail.com. That S-O-P-H-I-E-T-U-R-N-E-R.

(10) She’s free to meet in the evenings as she’s usually in class in the mornings. I’m sure you’ll find time that suits you both. Let me know what you think.

F:   Well Peter, I have a great idea. Why don’t we enter the singing competition at the office Christmas party? It’s perfect for us as we can bring the children too.

The Christmas party is on the twenty fourth of December, (6) but we have to let Mr Fowler know we’re taking part by the 15th of December so that leaves us just a week to decide. (7) Mr Fowler is expecting to receive videos of the people wishing to enter the competition. I thought we could send the video from our summer holiday but then I remembered the one from Annie’s birthday last year. It’s much better. (8) I also found out about a website we could practise on. It’s www.singpros.com. That’s spelt S-I-N-G-P-R-O-S.

Anyway, if you’re interested (9) we could meet after work at the West Café to talk a bit more about it. It’s just opposite the street from the post office next to the cinema. So meet you there? (10) It would be great if we won first prize. That’s £180. Even second prize sounds good at £120.

F:   Most students in this college study in Brighton Summer School during the summer holidays and really enjoy it. So I’m going to tell you a bit about their summer school.

(6) Courses start on the twentieth of June so you can choose any date that suits you until August the 15th. Most students choose courses in the middle of July as the weather’s better then.

(7) Courses are available for students who are between eighteen and twenty five years old. (8) But to work there as an assistant during your studies you have to be at least twenty two. You don’t need to be good at sports or other languages (9) but they need you to speak good English. That’s because all classes will be in English.

Each day you’ll get some homework and during your time there you’ll need to do two group projects, one each week.

(10) If you’re interested, you need to email me at jessyjones@mail.com, that’s J-E-DOUBLE-S-Y-J-O-N-E-S, telling me why you’d like to go.

F:   Hi Vladimir, it’s Sonia from work. We missed you today at the office. So next Monday we’re having the meeting for the new office design. Mr Fowler asked everyone for ideas.

(6) So we must make notes and then email them to Mr Fowler. On the day of the meeting we’ll also give a short talk based on our notes in front of everyone. Our talk shouldn’t be longer than 3 minutes (7) as the whole meeting should take no more than 45 minutes. That will give all of us some time to talk and then around 15 minutes for us to decide on the best ideas.

(8) If you need help, you can go online at www.officedes.com. That’s O-DOUBLE F-I-C-E-D-E-S.com. It’s got great ideas for small offices. Oh, I almost forgot. (9) Could you talk to Anna and let her know about this as I’m already late for my tennis class.

Make sure you are ready by Friday the first of October so that we’ll have the weekend to go over our ideas (10) before Monday the 4th.

Audioscript

Good Morning, I’m going to tell you what you need to know for next Friday’s trip to the Egyptian Museum. First of all, remember that students pay less than adults, so instead of the usual 8 pounds you will only need to bring 5 pounds fifty; if your parents want to go too, they will have to pay the full price.

You will go to the museum with the history teacher but he’s ill so you can’t give him the money. The Maths teacher will collect it tomorrow at the end of her lesson.

The Museum opens at half past nine, but we’ll have to leave school and be at the bus station by quarter past eight because the journey there is about 45 minutes. We won’t take the train because it would take longer to get there.

The Museum has a café so you don’t need to bring food or drink. Remember that you can take photos inside the museum so don’t leave your cameras at home.

Right everyone. Just some information on The Arts Centre that is open from July to September. You will leave at half past nine on the 17th and get there in about half an hour. During the week you will spend there, you will have several activities to choose from: students can do painting or drawing from 8 a.m. to midday, while after lunch those who are interested can try dancing or photography. The courses are available for students aged 11 to 15, but remember your parents have to fill in a form where they agree to let you do the courses.

During the week at the Arts Centre you will also be able to take part in weekend activities: Unfortunately we won’t be able to take you to the swimming pool as we did last year but we will go on a trip to London and visit museums as well. The cost of the week, which includes accommodation and meals, is 139 pounds, so please remember to bring the money by Thursday.

Hello everybody. I’m going to give you some information about tomorrow’s school boat race. All racers must be at the meeting point at ten o’clock because the race will begin at half past ten. All you need to wear is a pair of shorts. You shouldn’t wear sunglasses because you may lose them during the race.

Remember that the race is only for students aged 10 to 15. The swimming race for younger children will take place on Friday.

There are different prizes for each race. In the school boat race, for those who win the first prize there is a new surfboard, and those who come second and third will get a book on sailing each. Don’t be sad if you don’t win, though: everybody who takes part in the race will get a T-shirt as a souvenir. If you haven’t signed up, now just tell me and I will add you to the list.

Good morning class. I’d like to tell you about the music classes that the school is offering this summer. If you’re interested in learning to play a musical instrument, you need to book before the 4th July. All the classes will start on the 14th of July and last until the 28th July.

You can choose from several musical instruments such as the drums, the guitar and the violin. Most lessons are on weekdays but the guitar teacher can only teach students on Saturday.

As the courses are all for beginners, you can borrow an instrument from the school. You can collect them from Room 30 on the third floor from the first week of July.

The course isn’t very expensive: each of the ten lessons will cost £7, so £70 in total. However, if you pay for the whole course at once, you get a 10% discount and will only pay 63 pounds.

Hello, everyone. I’m going to tell you about this year’s photo competition: as you know, last year’s photos were about travel; this year, however, students have to take pictures about nature. You can choose to take a photo of animals or plants and send it to the school office from July 23rd to the 28th. The competition will be on the last Tuesday of July.

The students who want to take part in the competition must send two photos, but only one will be chosen. The winners will receive an email message before the competition day. There will be three prizes: the third prize is a cap; the second prize is a T-shirt and the winner of this year’s competition will get a backpack.

Remember to tell your family and friends that the photo exhibition will be on the fourth floor of the school. Now, if you have any questions, I’ll be happy to answer all of them.
