Programme of Activities for First Day
STUDENT: Where’s that?
Attempt full listening test…
RECEPTIONIST: I’ll show you in a minute. Just let me quickly run through this morning’s events first and then I’ll explain how to get there.
STUDENT: Yes, okay.
RECEPTIONIST: Right. Where were we? Yes, so, the Principal’s talk will last about 15 minutes and then Q2 the Director of Studies will talk to you for half an hour about the courses and the different requirements for each. After that, Q3 the Student Advisor will tell you about the various services and activities we offer to students. Any questions?
STUDENT: So, all of this is in the Main Hall?
RECEPTIONIST: You’ll have a test.
STUDENT: Test? I don’t like the sound of that. What sort of test?
RECEPTIONIST: Oh, it’s nothing to worry about. It’s just a Q5 placement test to help us find your level of English so that we can put you in the right class. It won’t last long.
STUDENT: But how do I find the Main Hall?
RECEPTIONIST: Right; if you look on the back of the booklet I gave you, you’ll see a map of the school. Let me show you. Look: you came in through the Main Entrance, here, and now we’re here at Reception. Now, to get to the Main Hall, you walk on to the end of this corridor in front of you and then you turn left. Walk along past the Language Laboratory and then pass the Q6 Library, which is next to the Language Lab, on the same side, and facing you is the Q7 Main Hall, at the end of the corridor. You can’t miss it.
STUDENT: So, it’s next to the Library, in fact.
RECEPTIONIST: Yes, that’s right.
STUDENT: Oh, one last thing. Is there a Q10 student common room?
RECEPTIONIST: Oh yes, I forgot to mention that. It’s this area here, very close to where we are now, to the right of the Reception desk as you come in the main entrance. There’s tea and coffee facilities there.
RECEPTIONIST: You’re welcome.
