 Section two. 
 00:00:02,700 
 You will hear a woman talking on a radio program about a festival that is about to take place. 
 00:00:09,680 
 First, you have some time to look at questions eleven to eighteen on page three. 
 00:00:17,060 
 Now listen carefully and answer questions eleven to eighteen. 
 00:00:24,860 
 I have in the studio with me Mary Smith from Yorktown Tourism, who is here to tell us about some of the events happening in our state capital over the next three weeks at the Spring Festival. So Mary, what can we expect to see? 
 00:00:39,140 
 Well, it's such an exciting time to be in Yorktown. To kick off the Spring Festival, there'll be a huge firework display down by the lake starting at 9:00 PM this Saturday, the 4th of September. Over ten thousand fireworks will be set off, all choreographed to music and broadcast simultaneously here on Radio Yorkie. You should get there early if you want to get close to the action, so bring along a picnic and a blanket as it could get chilly in the evening. 
 00:01:13,060 
 One of the things that attracts visitors to the festival from all over the country is the amazing collection of flowers on show in Central Park throughout the festival. 
 00:01:23,980 
 Special buses will run from the town center to the show at 20 minutes intervals for those of you who prefer to take public transport. If you're interested in seeing the latest in cars, from the fastest to the most expensive, then head over to the motor show at the exhibition center from the tenth to the 15th of September. It'll be open daily from 9:00 AM until 10:00 PM. So you can even pop there after work. Do you like photography? Then go along to Grow Your Imagination, an exhibition of photographs of famous gardens, which will be held at the art gallery from the eleventh to the nineteenth of September. 
 00:02:09,860 
 Come and be inspired by some of the world's most beautiful gardens. I've had a sneak preview of some of the photographs, and they are magnificent. If music is more your scene, then you should come and hear the Australian Philharmonic Orchestra performing Swing in Spring at the concert hall on Friday the 17th and Saturday the 18th of September. It's a celebration of dance music from the 1940 and 50. There'll be three performances. Both evenings start at 7:00 PM and a matinee performance at 2:30 on the Saturday. So get your dancing shoes on and head there. It's guaranteed to get your feet tapping. 
 00:02:56,700 
 Before you hear the rest of the program, you have some time to look at questions nineteen and twenty on page four. 
 00:03:19,180 
 Now listen and answer questions nineteen and twenty. 
 00:03:26,180 
 Those are just a few of the attractions on offer. But for something a little different, you could try Balloons Down Under, which is the largest gathering of hot air balloons in the Southern Hemisphere. It's well worth it because there'll be over 25 balloons of all shapes and sizes, which is a truly amazing sight. I'm also happy to announce that one lucky person will get the chance to go up in one of these balloons absolutely free. That's the prize in our special Spring Festival competition. It'd normally cost you 200 dollars, so it's not a bad prize, eh? 
 00:04:08,200 
 I'm sure you all want a chance to win, so you'll need to fill out the entry form in today's edition of the Yorktown News. Don't forget to include your phone number and send it to Radio Yorkie. Make sure your entry reaches us by 5:00 PM on Thursday the 9th of September. 
 00:04:28,840 
 Then to see if you've won, just check out the festival's website on Saturday the 11th of September, where we'll publish the name of the lucky winner. It's such a fantastic prize, so hurry up and get your entry in. So there you have it, just a few of the special events happening here in Yorktown over the Spring Festival. And if you'd like any more details about the festival... 
 00:04:58,740 
 That is the end of section two. You now have half a minute to check your answers.
