Exam Tip
In Part 2 you write one word, a number, a date or a time. Listen for the exact detail and check your spelling — the notes often use different words from the recording, so don’t just copy the first word you hear.
Practise the key words and phrases from this lesson.
Part 2: Photography Course
You will hear a woman talking to a group of people about a photography course. For each question, write the correct answer in the gap. Write one word or a number or a date or a time.
You now have 10 seconds to look at Part Two.
Woman Good evening, everyone. Thank you for coming to hear about our photography course at Greenfield Community Centre. I know many of you are interested in learning how to take better photos, so let me give you all the details.
The course starts on Saturday, the twelfth of May and runs for six weeks. We have classes twice a week — that’s Saturdays and Sundays — so you’ll get plenty of practice. Each class is three hours long, which gives us time to learn the theory and then go out and practise taking photos.
We keep our classes small, so there’s a maximum of twelve people in each group. This means everyone gets personal attention from the teacher. You’ll need to bring your own camera — it doesn’t matter if it’s a phone camera or a professional one. We can work with any type of camera.
The course fee is one hundred and forty pounds, which includes all materials except the camera. We still have a few places available, but they’re going quickly!
Any questions?
Now listen again.
That is the end of Part Two.
