Passage 2
Can I Have Your Attention, Please?
I. Tapescript
Can I have your attention, please? This is a message for years 7-10. Because of the rain the swimming competition will not be held at the New Town Swimming Pool as planned. It will be held at the Jackson Sports Center. Buses will be leaving school at 10 to take you to the Center. It's about a 15-minute ride. You will be returning to school at 3:15 in time to catch your usual buses home. Now here is the traveling arrangement for this morning. Years 7 and 8 and their home group teachers are to gather at the front gate at 9:35. The first four buses will take you there. Years 9 and 10 and their teachers will assemble at the front gate at 9:45. You will go on the last three buses. Cold drinks will be available at the Sports Center. If you normally order your lunch at the school canteen please hand in your order to the teacher before 9:30. Your lunch will be delivered at the front gate of the Center at 12:30. |
