RECEPTIONIST: I’ll show you in a minute Just let me quickly run through this morning’s events first and then I’ll explain how to get there STUDENT: Yes, OK RECEPTIONIST: Right Where were we? Yes, so, the Principal’s talk will last about fifteen minutes and then the Director of Studies will talk to you for half an hour about the courses and the different requirements for each. After that, the Student Adviser will tell you about the various services and activities we offer to students Any questions? STUDENT: So, all of this is in the Main Hall? RECEPTIONIST: That’s right. And then you’ll go next door to Classroom at 11 o’clock STUDENT: What happens there ? RECEPTIONIST: You’ll have a test STUDENT: Test? I don’t like the sound of that What sort of test? RECEPTIONIST: Oh, it’s nothing to worry about. It’s just a placement test to help us find your level of English so that we can put you in the right class It won’t last long STUDENT: But how I find the Main Hall? RECEPTIONIST: Right; if you look on the back of the booklet I gave you, you’ll see a map of the school Let me show you Look: you came in through the Main Entrance, here, and now we’re here at Reception Now, to get to the Main Hall, you walk on to the end of this corridor in front of you and then you turn left. Walk along past the Language Laboratory and then past the Library, which is next to the Language Lab, on the same side, and facing you is the Main Hall, at the end of the corridor You can’t miss it STUDENT: So it’s next to the Library, in fact RECEPTIONIST: Yes, that’s right STUDENT: I should be able to find that And you have a Computer Laboratory? RECEPTIONIST: Yes, we STUDENT: Could you tell me where that is? RECEPTIONIST: Certainly, yes. You go down to the end of this corridor again but, this Q8 time, don’t turn left; turn right, away from the Main Hall The Computer Lab is immediately on your right OK? STUDENT: And where’s the staff room, in case I need to find a teacher at some stage? RECEPTIONIST: The staff room is near the main entrance, on the left over there, just opposite the Reception desk In a day or two, I’m sure you’ll find your way around very easily STUDENT: Oh, one last thing Is there a student common room? RECEPTIONIST: Oh yes, I forgot to mention that. It’s this area here, very close to where we are now, to the right of the Reception desk as you come in the main entrance There’s tea and coffee facilities there STUDENT: Great Thank you very much RECEPTIONIST: You’re welcome Part SALLY: Oh, Peter, there you are You’ve been ages What kept you so long? PETER: I’m sorry I’m so late, Sally Have you been waiting long? SALLY: Oh, half an hour But it doesn’t matter I’ve had a coffee and I’ve been reading this guidebook for tourists Sit down You look very hot and tired What would you like to drink? PETER: I’d love a really chilled mineral water or something Will you have another coffee? SALLY: Yes, I will The waitress will be back in a moment Why were you so late? Did something happen? PETER: Yes You know I went to the bank to cash some travellers cheques? Well, the exchange rate was looking healthy, but when I went to the teller, they told me the computer system was temporarily down , so they couldn’t any transactions. They said the problem would be fixed in 10 a few minutes, so I waited And then I started talking to another guy in the bank, and I forgot the time SALLY: Oh, really? Someone you met in the bank? Does he work there? PETER: No he was a tourist, from New York His name’s Henry and he’s been here for a week, but he’s moving on to Germany tomorrow He’s an architect, and he’s spending four weeks travelling around Europe SALLY: Just like us! PETER: Yeah, just like us He told me the names of some places where we should eat Great food, and not too expensive, he said Oh, and he also gave me this map of the bus system He said he didn’t need it any more SALLY: That’s useful Pity he’s moving on tomorrow Ah, here’s the waitress Let’s order Do you want anything to eat, or shall we just have a drink? PETER: Well, I’m hungry, and we’ve got a lot of sightseeing to do, so let’s just have a snack and a drink SALLY: Sounds good to me! PETER: Well, let’s decide what we’ll see today I guess the best place to start is the Cathedral, and then the Castle What are the opening times for those two? SALLY: Well, according to this guidebook, the Cathedral is only open from nine-thirty in the morning until midday No, hang on That’s the Cathedral Museum. The Cathedral itself is open morning and afternoon The Castle is just open from one to five, so we can’t go there until after lunch I really want to spend some time in the Art Gallery, because they’ve got this wonderful painting by Rembrandt that I’ve always wanted to see PETER: What else should we see? SALLY: Well, the guidebook says the Botanical Gardens are worth spending some time in, and they’re open all day, from eight to six, so we can go there any time I’d like to go to the Markets near the river too, but oh no, wait, that’s only in the mornings, too PETER: As well as today and tomorrow, we can see some other places on Monday, you know But I don’t think the Markets will be open then : they only open on Thursdays, so we’ve missed them for this week Maybe we should go to the Cathedral today because it’s Sunday tomorrow, and even though it’s open every day it might be more difficult to get in tomorrow because of the church services SALLY: That’s true, but the Art Gallery isn’t open on Sundays at all, so we’ll have to go there today The Castle’s open every day except Mondays, so we’re OK there, and the Gardens of course only close at night PETER: Are all these places free or we have to pay to go in? What does the guidebook say? SALLY: I think there’s a charge for all of them except the Botanical Gardens Oh and the Markets, of course you don’t pay to go in PETER: OK well, it looks like our plan is this: we’ll go to see the painting you like first , the Rembrandt, then have lunch and go on to the Castle after that, and then the Cathedral SALLY: OK It says here that the roof of the Cathedral is really beautiful PETER: Is that right? What I really want to at the Cathedral is climb the tower The view is supposed to 11 be spectacular SALLY: OK, well, that’ll be more than enough for today Then, tomorrow, let’s go to the Botanical Gardens and have a picnic I want to sit by the river and watch the swans. This city’s famous for them _The end _ 12
