Part 1.

Woman: Hi. Well, it's great to see you all. When I suggested this class, they said women don't need

a carpentry class. Now, I know that girls in school can do carpentry nowadays if they want to, but

when I was at school, it was a boys' subject, and that was that. So, when I got my own flat, I had no

idea at all how to put up a shelf even. But when I saw it would cost six months' wages to employ

someone to fix my kitchen cupboards, I decided to learn. That was eighteen months ago. I've spent

the past couple of months working on a chest of drawers, which I finished last week. I've decided to

put it in the sitting room or perhaps the hall, although actually, my original plan was to use it in my

bedroom, but now it's finished, it looks so good I don't want to hide it away! So, you see it's not too

difficult. First of all, I want to say a bit about equipment. You will need to buy a few things. Usually

it's a good idea to buy the best quality you can afford. Now, that doesn't mean you have to get lots

of expensive electric tools. Hand tools are fine. They're slower of course, but you have more control

at a slower speed. However, if you aren't very strong, the power of electric tools can be a real help.

So you shouldn't feel that's cheating, if that's what you need. Make sure you take good advice on

exactly which ones to buy before you spend any money though. The next point is, don't expect to

make anything very big or difficult for the first few months at least. You need to develop your

carpentry skills fairly slowly, adding to them with each new thing you make. If you don't, you'll

make furniture which doesn't work well, or doesn't look good enough for friends to see, and you

won't enjoy what you're doing. Lastly, you must plan everything you do really carefully. You begin

with a list of everything that's going to be necessary, and then think about the order in which you are

going to work. So, what I want you to do now is to imagine you want to put up a shelf in the

bathroom - and make that list. Then we'll look at the lists together and see what you've forgotten!

OK?

Part 2.

Man: Today we have with us Geraldine Smith, who's going to tell us about this autumn's fashion

show. Is it the same as usual, Geraldine?

Woman: Yes, that's right. There are ten art colleges altogether from the area who are taking part.

This year the show will be in the sports stadium on the 26th of October. That's a bit later than usual

– we usually do it in September - and it will start at seven thirty. We've done something a bit

different this year. We've told the students that they have to make clothes in particular colours - they

must all be either grey or blue. So if your favourite colour is red or orange, you won't find it here

this year. The show starts at seven thirty, but before that at six thirty a top hairdresser will give a

talk about matching the way you do your hair to look good with the clothes you wear. That will be

in the room behind the main hall. There'lI be some stalls around the stadium selling clothes -

looking at the list, you'll be able to buy almost anything from sports clothes to winter coats, but

there won't be any shoes for sale this year, as we haven't really got room for people to sit down and

try them on. At the end of the evening, we'll announce who has won the prize forthe best design.

The prize is usually money, but this year we have a computer to give away so I'm sure that will be

very useful to whoever wins. Because we're holding the event at the sports stadium, which is out of

town, there'lI be two special buses leaving from outside the cinema at six o'clock and seven o'clock.

Entrance tickets are only £2.50 each and they can be reserved by ringing 0965 763298.
