R
Receptionist
Good afternoon, Estelle speaking. What can I do for you?
W
Woman
I was told that the school holds adult education classes?
R
Receptionist
Yes, it does. We run seven a week, three on Tuesdays and Thursdays and one on Wednesdays.
W
Woman
Are they all evening classes?
R
Receptionist
No, because of the number of people who work shifts these days, we found there's quite a demand for day classes as well.
W
Woman
Well, I don't work and I really want to get out and meet people, so daytime or evening would suit me.
R
Receptionist
What is it you're particularly interested in?
W
Woman
Oh, anything really.
R
Receptionist
Okay, on Tuesdays we have a writing workshop for those people who've always longed to write but are hesitant about putting pen to paper. It's an evening class and runs from six to seven thirty, but there is a restriction on numbers.
W
Woman
Oh!
R
Receptionist
Yes, the tutor has advised us to restrict participants to a maximum of ten per session, so I'll have to check and let you know if there is room for you.
W
Woman
Thank you.
R
Receptionist
Also, on Tuesdays there is a book club designed for older adults looking to be inspired to learn and share insights with one another.
W
Woman
Are there any restrictions on that?
R
Receptionist
Not really, but you'd have to be able to read the prescribed book each week.
W
Woman
Hmm, you have to read set books, do you?
R
Receptionist
Yes, and keep up with the others by finishing one a week.
W
Woman
I understand. What else do you have?
R
Receptionist
There's a history group on Tuesdays as well. Run by a researcher and historian who provides a fascinating glimpse for you into the lives and society around this area a hundred years ago.
W
Woman
Hmm, I don't think so.
R
Receptionist
Well, what about Scrabble Club on Wednesday? It's extremely popular, you know.
W
Woman
Sounds good. What time?
R
Receptionist
Two to three thirty in the afternoon.
W
Woman
Yes, I think I could manage that.
R
Receptionist
Well, if you like Scrabble, you might like to join the Chess Knight on Thursday evenings. It's more for serious players, though.
W
Woman
Unfortunately, I don't play chess.
R
Receptionist
Would you be interested in cake decorating?
W
Woman
Well, I do enjoy baking from time to time.
R
Receptionist
Have you thought about decorated cakes, though? You know, they make a wonderful focal point of any special celebration.
W
Woman
Maybe not.
R
Receptionist
Look, I don't know if you'd be interested, but next month there's going to be an adult learners week, and it's a great opportunity to learn something new and meet a lot of people. All the events are free, but booking is essential.
W
Woman
What are the events?
R
Receptionist
I'll give you a brief rundown, and if you decide there's something in it for you, I can send you all the details.
W
Woman
Great, when is it?
R
Receptionist
The first week in September, from the first to the eighth.
W
Woman
Oh, are they all daytime events?
R
Receptionist
Yes, but some are half day and some are whole day sessions.
W
Woman
Can you just quickly tell me about the half day ones, please?
R
Receptionist
Okay, the techno expo will help you work with social networking tools, and you can learn more about online privacy and security and online entertainment. That's Monday the 1st.
W
Woman
In the morning?
R
Receptionist
Actually, it's after lunch from 1 to 4.30.
W
Woman
What else is there in the afternoon?
R
Receptionist
Well, on Wednesday, there's work, life, balance, understanding how to assess what you really value, the importance of balance and harmony in your life, and how to achieve it.
W
Woman
That's another one I'd like to go to. Are there any more?
R
Receptionist
No, no more half days in the afternoon. Wait a minute. There is a poetry event.
W
Woman
What does that entail?
R
Receptionist
Writing some inspirational poems and sharing them with the cloths.
W
Woman
No, thank you. I'm not going to read my poems to other people.
R
Receptionist
I know what you mean.
W
Woman
One more thing. Can you tell me where all the events are being held?
R
Receptionist
Yes, all the workshops are at the central library.
W
Woman
Oh, good. That's handy.
