Practise the key words and phrases from this lesson.
Part 2: Art Club
You will hear a woman talking to a group of people about joining an art club. For each question, write the correct answer in the gap. Write one word, a number, a date or a time.
Woman Hello everyone, and welcome to our information evening about the Riverside Art Club. I’m delighted so many of you are interested in joining us.
We meet every Tuesday evening from six-thirty until eight-thirty, so that’s two hours of painting time each week. The club is open to anyone who’s sixteen years and over — that works well because everyone can concentrate properly.
The monthly fee is just twenty-two pounds, which is excellent value. We provide the paper and all the paints, but you do need to bring your own pencils and brushes. Most art shops sell good starter sets for about ten pounds.
We also have a little kitchen where you can make tea and coffee during the break. We just ask for fifty pence to cover the cost of milk and biscuits.
Our teacher is Mrs Brown — she’s a professional artist and has been running the club for eight years. She’s very patient and helps beginners as well as more experienced painters.
If you’d like to join, just speak to me after this meeting.
Now listen again.
That is the end of Part Two.
