Narrator: You will hear a woman called Jenny Hart talking about a walking tour of her city. For each question, write the correct answer in the gap. Write one or two words or a number or a date or a time.

Jenny: Hi, I'm Jenny, and I run walking tours of the old city. A lot of people think the tours start at the museum, because that's where you buy tickets. But in fact we meet outside the clock tower in Market Square, just two minutes away.

Jenny: The tour lasts about two and a half hours, including a short break for a drink. We walk quite slowly, so you don't need to be very fit.

Jenny: There's lots to see. We visit the cathedral, which is about three hundred years old, but the highlight for most people is the bridge over the river, which is more than five hundred years old – the oldest in the country still used by traffic.

Jenny: Tours run every day except Monday, at ten in the morning and two in the afternoon. In July and August we add an evening tour at six.

Jenny: Tickets are twelve pounds for adults. Children under twelve go free, and students pay eight pounds if they show a student card.

Jenny: One last thing: the streets are made of old stones and can be slippery, so please wear comfortable shoes. You won't need an umbrella – if it rains, we lend you one!

Narrator: You will hear a man called Pete Morgan talking on the radio about a summer art course for teenagers. For each question, write the correct answer in the gap. Write one or two words or a number or a date or a time.

Pete: Hello! I'm Pete Morgan, and I'm here to tell you about our summer art course for young people aged thirteen to seventeen. In the past we've always used the college on Park Road, but this year we're moving to a brand-new space: the Old Fire Station in the town centre, which has just been turned into art studios.

Pete: The course used to last for just one week, but so many people asked for more time that this year it runs for three weeks, from Monday to Friday, ten till four.

Pete: Last summer, the students made sculptures for the town hall. This year, the main group project is a giant mural – a painting on a wall – which will be shown in Victoria Park for the rest of the year.

Pete: Now, the price. The normal cost is ninety-five pounds a week, but if you book before the end of May, it's just eighty-five pounds a week. That includes lunch every day.

Pete: We provide all the paints, brushes and paper. Please don't bring your own brushes – we've got plenty. What you will need is your own sketchbook, because you'll use it every day to plan your ideas.

Pete: Places are limited to forty students, so book soon. You can call us or go to our website. Booking closes on the fourteenth of June, and the course starts on the twenty-first of July. We look forward to seeing you!
