  • The old plan showed the information desk near reception, but it is now beside the stage.
  • The programme says 11:00, but the first talk starts at 11:15.
  • Tickets are collected in the blue room, but maps are collected in the green room.
  • The cafe usually closes at 5:00, but today it closes at 4:30.

Transcript

Coordinator: Welcome to today's community open day. I will explain the main facilities, activities, and travel arrangements before you begin.

Coordinator: The open day is being held at the community centre. Some volunteers are from the local school, but the event itself is not at the school.

Coordinator: Visitors should enter through the west gate. The south gate is closed because staff are unloading equipment there this morning.

Coordinator: The information desk is beside the stage. On the old plan it was near reception, but we moved it so visitors can find help during the talks.

Coordinator: The first talk starts at 11:15. Your printed programme may say 11:00, but the speaker requested a later start.

Coordinator: The map collection point is in the green room. Tickets are collected in the blue room, so please do not join the wrong queue.

Coordinator: The children's workshop is in the sports hall. The art room is being used for adult craft sessions, not for children today.

Coordinator: The cafe closes at 4:30. It normally stays open until 5:00, but the kitchen team has an early finish this afternoon.

Coordinator: Parking is free before midday. After midday, parking costs 2 pounds, and payment machines are beside the main exit.

Coordinator: The free shuttle stops near the library. It usually stops outside the station, but roadworks have changed the route for today.

Coordinator: Feedback forms should be returned to the welcome desk. Registration forms are kept by staff, but feedback forms go back to welcome.

Coordinator: Please check the display boards during the day because room changes will be posted there first.

Mistake-Review Point

In mixed review talks, one topic can change quickly into another. Underline the key noun in each question before listening.
