Good morning.

Good morning. How can I help you?

I understand that the school organizes trips to different

……

Yes, we run five every month: three during weekends and two Wednesday

afternoon trips.

What sort of places?

Well, obviously it varies, but always places of historical interest and

also which offer a variety of shopping, because our students always ask

about that and then we go for ones where we know there are guided tours,

because this gives a good focus for the visit.

Do you travel far?

Well,

we’

re lucky here,

obviously, because we‘re able to say that all

our visits are less than three hours drive.

How much do they cost?

Again it varies-between 5 and 15 pounds a head, depending on distance.

Oh,

and

we

do

offer

to

arrange

special

trips

if,

you

know,

there

are

more

than 12 people.

Oh right,

I’ll keep that in mind.

And what are the times normally?

We try to keep it pretty fixed so that, that students get to know the

pattern.

We leave at eight-thirty a.m. and return at six p.m.

We figure

it’s best t

o keep the day fairly short.

Oh yes. And how do we reserve a place?

You sign your name on the notice board. Do you know where it is?

Ah ha. I saw it this morning.

And we do ask that you sign up three days in advance so we know we’ve

got enough people interested to run it, and we can cancel if necessary,

with full refund of course.

That’s fine

, thanks.

And what visits are planned for this term?

Right, well I’m

afraid the schedule

hasn’t been print

ed out yet, but

we have confirmed the dates and planned the optional extra visits which

you can also book in advance if you want to.

Oh,

that’s

all

right

.

If

you

can

just

give

some

idea

of

the

weekend

ones

so I can, you know, work out when to see friends, etcetera.

Oh,

sure. Well, the first one is St. Ives. That’s o

n the thirteenth of

February and we’ll have

only sixteen places available

of course we’re

going by minibus.

And

that’s

a

day

in

town

with

the

optional

extra

of

visiting

the

Hepworth

Museum.

Oh right, yeah, that sounds good.

Umm, then there’s London trip on

the sixteenth of February and we’ll

be

taking

a

medium-

sized

coach

so

there’ll

be

forty

-five

places

on

that,

a

nd let’s see, the optional extra is the

Tower of London.

Oh, I’ve

already been there.

Err, after that there’s Bristol on the third of March.

Where?

Bristol.

OK.

That’s in a different minibus with eighteen places

available, oh, and

the optional extra is a visit to the S.S. Great

Britain.

OK.

We’re going to Sail

sbury on the eighteenth of March

and that’

s always

a

popular

one

because

the

optional

extra

is

Stonehenge,

so

we’re

taking

the large coach with fifty seats.

Oh good.

And then the last one is to Bath on the twenty-third of March.

Oh yes, is Bath the Roman city?

Y

yes, that’ right, and that’s in the sixteen

-seater minibus.

And w

here’

s the optional visit?

It’s to the American

Museum- well worth a visit.

Ok, well

that’s great. Thanks for all that.

My pleasure.

By the way, if you want more information about any of the trips, have a

look in the student newspaper.

OK.

Or, have a word with my assistant, her name is Jane Yentob.

Right. I’ve got that. Thank you very much for all your help.

You’re very welcome. I hope you enjoy the trips.

C4T1S2

Good afternoon everybody and welcome to Riverside Industrial Village.

To start your visit,

I’m

just going to give you a brief account of the

history

of

the

museum

before

let

ting

you

roam

about

on

your

own.

I

won’t

keep you long. OK?

Now,

from

where

we

’re

standing

you’

ve

got

a

good

view

of

the

river

over

there.

And

it

was

because

of

this

fast-flowing

water,

that

this

site

was

a

natural

place for manufacturing works.

The water, and the availability of the raw materials in the area, like

minerals and iron ore, and also the abundance of local fuels, like coal

and firewood, all

made

this site suitable for industry from a very

early

time.

Water was the main source of power for the early industries and some of

the

water

wheels

were

first

established

in

the

twelfth

century,

would

you

believe?

At that time, local craftsmen first built an iron forge just behind the

village here, on the bend in the river.

By

the

seventeenth

to

eighteenth

centuries

the

region’s

rivers

supported

more than

a hundred and sixty

water mills-and many of these continued

to

operate well into the nineteenth century.

But

then

the

steam

engine

was

invented

and

then

the

railways

came

and

the

centers

of

industries

were

able

to

move

away

from

the

rivers

and

countryside and into the towns.

So, industrial villages like this one became very rare.

So that’s the history for you.

If you’d like any more information, you

can ask me some questions, or

you can read further in our excellent guide book.

Now I’m going to

give

you a plan

of

site and I’d

just like to point out

where

everything

is

and

then

you

can

take

a

look

at

everything

for

yourself.

I’ve

already

pointed

out

the

river,

which

is

on

the

left.

And

of

course,

running along the bottom is Woodside Road, got it? OK.

Now

we’re

standing

at

the

entrance,

see

it

at

the

bottom,

and

immediately

to our right is the Ticket Office.

You

won’t

need

that

because

you’ve

got

your

group

booking,

but

just

past

it are the toilets-always good to know where they are.

In front of us is the car park, as you can see, and to the left, by the

entry gate is the Gift Shop.

That’s where you can get copies of the

guide, like this one here.

Now, beyond the car park all the buildings are arranged in a half circle

with a yard in the middle.

The big, stone building at the top is the main Workshop.

That’s where the

furnace is and where all the metal was smelted and the

tools were cast, as you’ll be ab

le to see.

Now in the top right-hand corner, that building with bigger windows is

the Showroom, where samples of all the tools that were made through the

ages are on display.

In

the

top

left

corner

is

the

Grinding

Shop,

where

the

tools

were

sharpened

and finished.

And on one side of that you can see the Engine Room, and on the other is

the

Café,

which

isn’t

an

antique

,

you’ll

be

pleased

to

know,

though

they

do serve very nice old-fashion teas.

The row of buildings you can see on the left are the cottages.

These

were

built

for

the

workers

towards

the

end

of

the

eighteenth

century

and they’re still

furnished from that period so you can get a good idea

of ordinary

people’s living

conditions.

Across the yard from them, you can see the stables where the horses were

kept for transporting the products.

And the separate building in front of them is the Works Office and that

still has some of the old accounts on display.

Right,

if

anyone

wants

a

guided

tour

then

I’m

starting

at

the

Engine

Room.

If you’d like to come a

long, this way please, ladies and gentlemen.

C4T1S3

You’ll hear M a student, talking to one of her

lecturers about her

studies.

Excuse me, Dr. Johnson. May I speak to you for minute?

Sure, come in.

I’m M. I’m taking your

course in population studies.

Right, well, M, how can I help you?

I’m having a bit of trouble with the second

assignment

, and it’s

due

in twelve days.

What

sort

of

trouble

are

you

having?

Is

the

assignment

question

a

problem?

Well,

that’s

part

of

the

problem.

I’m

also

having

……

been

having-getting

hold of the books. I’ve been to the

library several times and all the

books are out.
