We also have a café which is open on weekdays from ten a.m. to three p.m. You’ll meet your teachers at four p.m. today to get more information about your course but if you have any questions about the college, you can speak to the receptionist, Mrs Myatt – that’s M-Y-A-double T. She is here from Monday to Friday but if you can’t come in, you can call her on double nine-three-six-five-four-one-two-seven-o-four. When you come back on Wednesday, you’ll need to give us a photo. We need that for your student ID card. Those will be ready for you to collect next Friday.

Woman:   This type is pink, but they can also be red or purple. It’ll be very pretty. Boy:   Good. When will the flowers come? Woman:   Every spring. Then you need to cut them before the summer, so they return next year. Boy:   OK. When should I put it outside? Woman:   Well, it’s August now. Wait until September to put it in the garden. Boy:   How tall will it grow? Woman:   Some types are only fifteen centimetres tall, but in two or three years this one’ll be forty centimetres tall. Leave space for it! Boy:   I’d like to buy it.

Now, I’ve got some information about tomorrow’s day trip to North Lake. The bus is always very busy at this time of year, so we’ll take the train. You’ll see some beautiful countryside on the journey. To join the trip, please be here at one fifteen. You can have lunch in the café here at twelve thirty before we go. When we’re there, you can choose to go walking with me, or fishing with Mr Thomas. But no swimming – the water’s to cold at this time of year. Your ticket will cost eight pounds and you’ll want some money to spend at the shop so bring twelve pounds, please. Now, this is important. We’ll meet to return to the station at the end of the day outside the Aster Hotel, next to the lake. That’s A-S-T-E-R. So, who would like to come?

Man:   Our farm workers usually get three hundred and twenty-five pounds a week, but in this job you’ll get three hundred pounds a week. Girl:   Why’s that? Man:   Because lunch is included. But you do have to pay for your bus tickets. Girl:   OK. I’d like the job. What should I do now?

Now, every year we enter teams in the Cardiff Bike Race, so here’s some information about this year’s competition. Pens ready? OK. The race is next week, on the twenty-second of September. You can’t wear your normal black T-shirts and shorts because another club uses those colours. We’ll wear blue instead. Make sure you pack the right ones, please. There’ll be four teams with three people on each team. Steven, Petra, Luke and Alice – you’ve been before so you can help the others. On the day, make sure you get up and have breakfast by seven a.m., so when the race starts at eight-thirty, you’re ready. At twenty kilometres, there’ll be a place for snacks, with cake and orange juice. No chocolate, I’m afraid! Don’t have too much or you’ll feel sick. Last year’s first prize was cycling shirts. This year, the winners will each get the latest sports watch! Good luck everyone!
