You will hear a teacher telling her students about a museum they are going to visit
Good Morning, I’m going to tell you what you need to know for next Friday’s trip to the Egyptian Museum First of all, remember that students pay less than adults, so instead of the usual 8 pounds you will only need to bring 5 pounds fifty; if your parents want to go too, they will have to pay the full price
You will go to the museum with the history teacher but he’s ill so you can’t give him the money The Maths teacher will collect it tomorrow at the end of her lesson
The Museum opens at half past nine, but we’ll have to leave school and be at the bus station by quarter past eight because the journey there is about 45 minutes We won’t take the train because it would take longer to get there
The Museum has a café so you don’t need to bring food or drink Remember that you can take photos inside the museum so don’t leave your cameras at home

but the two weeks I spent in the mountains were absolutely brilliant
A I’d love to go too Is it far from here?
B No, actually it’s quite close, just half an hour by car There’s a wonderful hotel with tennis
courts and an indoor swimming pool I’m sure you would love it
A Cool! Did you stay there?
B Unfortunately I couldn’t It was fully booked; there was a nice campsite near the hotel but it
was too cold; anyway, my father’s best friend lives there, so we stayed there all the time
A I’m really glad you had a great time… what was the weather like?
B It was mostly sunny and warm I was afraid it would rain a lot: you now it may be a little
boring when it rains in the mountains I hope next time we’ll stay longer Two weeks isn’t enough!

visiting foreign towns so we’ll see what to do before June

A So what do you think about Ms Thompson?
