Good afternoon. Estelle speaking... What can I do for you?

I was told that the school
holds...umm, ........................................................................?
Yes, it does. We run seven a
week: ..................................................................................and one on
Wednesdays. Are they all ......................................................?
No, because of the number of people who work shifts these
days .......................................................................................... as well.
Well, I don't work and I really want to get out and meet
people so ...........................................................................................
What is it you're ........................................................................?
Oh, anything, really.
Okay...on Tuesdays we have a Writing Workshop for those
people ........................................................................ write but are
hesitant about putting pen to paper.

It's an evening class and runs from six to seven thirty
but ...........................................................................................
Oh?
Yes. The tutor ...................................................... restrict participants to
a maximum of ten per session...so, I'll have to check and let you

older adults looking to be inspired, to
learn, and ...........................................................................................
Are there any restrictions on that?
Not really but ..........................................................................................
the prescribed book each week. Mmm, you have to read set books, do
you?
Yes, and ........................................................................ by finishing one
a week. I understand. What else do you have?

Night...on Thursday
evenings-...........................................................................................
though.
Unfortunately ......................................................
Would you be interested in Cake Decorating?
Well, .............................................................................................
Have you thought about decorated cakes though? You know they make
a wonderful focal point of any .......................................................
Maybe not.
Look, I don't know if ...................................................... but next month
there's going to be an Adult Learners' Week
and .......................................................................................... learn
something new and....................................................... All the events are
free but ........................................................................

there's something in it for you, I can
send you .......................................................
Great! When is it?
The first week......................................................, from the first to the
eighth.
Oh, are they all daytime events?
Yes, but ...................................................... and some are
whole-day sessions. Can you just quickly tell me about the half-day ones,
please?
Okay. The Techno Expo will help you work

No, no more half days in the afternoon. Wait a minute... there is a poetry
event. What does that entail?
Writing some inspirational poems
and .........................................................................
No, thank you-I'm not going to read my poems to other people!
I know what you mean.
One more thing can you tell
me ..............................................................................................................
