Day 34 IELTS Listening Practice - Section 2
Topic: Community Centre Announcement
Announcer: Good afternoon, everyone. This is a short announcement about activities and services at Hillview Community Centre this week.
Announcer: First, I want to mention our main event. We planned to hold a film evening, but the programme has changed. This week, the main event will be a music evening with local performers.
Announcer: The music evening was first listed for Thursday, but it has now moved to Friday because the performers were not available earlier in the week.
Announcer: The event was going to begin at 7:00. However, doors will now open at seven, and the music itself will start at 7:15.
Announcer: Please also note the room change. Room 2 is being repaired this week, so the music evening will take place in Room 4.
Announcer: Tickets are 6 pounds. Children under twelve can enter free, but adults and older students need a ticket.
Announcer: If you want to attend, please book online. The reception desk can answer questions, but it cannot reserve seats for this event.
Announcer: Our art class has also moved. It used to meet in the small hall, but from this week it will meet in the art studio, which is next to the side entrance.
Announcer: The cafe is open during the day and closes at 5:30. Drinks will still be available from machines after that time.
Announcer: The help desk closes at 6:00. The centre building remains open later for evening activities, but staff cannot deal with membership questions after six.
Announcer: Finally, parking is free for two hours. If you stay longer than that, please enter your car number at the machine near the front door.
Announcer: Thank you for listening, and please check the notice board for any further changes.
Section 2 announcements often include changed details. Listen for the final confirmed day, time, room, price, and rule.
