On this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first. 00:01:03,040 Hello, City Swim School. 00:01:05,160 Oh, hello. Uh, I wanted to ask about swimming lessons. That's in a class, not individual. 00:01:12,300 Right. Well, we do group lessons at various levels. To start off with, we have what we call the Water Babies class. 00:01:24,580 The first class is called Water Babies, so babies has been written in the space. 00:01:32,860 Now we shall begin. You should answer the questions as you listen, because you will not hear the recording a second time. 00:01:42,780 Listen carefully and answer questions one to six. 00:01:49,960 Hello, City Swim School. 00:01:52,100 Oh, hello. Uh, I wanted to ask about swimming lessons. That's in a class, not individual. 00:01:59,220 Right. Well, we do group lessons at various levels. To start off with, we have what we call the Water Babies class. That's for babies of three months and over. 00:02:11,720 Really? As young as that? 00:02:13,500 Yes, that's really the best time to start. 00:02:16,960 Right. Uh, well, we do have a baby, so I'll make a note of that. Um, what do they actually do in the lessons? 00:02:25,300 Well, the main aim is just to familiarize them with the water, so they feel at ease there. They get the children to enjoy themselves. They have lots of toys and things they can use to play with in the water. 00:02:38,940 Right. And how much do the lessons cost? 00:02:42,560 They're held on Tuesday mornings, and each lesson costs three pounds eighty. It's not really a course as such. 00:02:51,580 Okay. Well, I'll talk to my wife about that. Uh, but I was actually ringing about lessons for me. 00:02:59,240 Okay. So are you a beginner? 00:03:02,560 Not exactly, but I'm not very good. [laughs] 00:03:05,620 Well, the beginners classes are really for people who don't have any experience of swimming. They aim to teach you techniques for breathing in the water, and they get you to do things like put your head underwater and open your eyes. 00:03:19,660 Okay, I can do that. 00:03:22,140 And by the end of the course, they aim to have you swimming five meters. 00:03:27,560 I think I can probably just about do that. [laughs] 00:03:30,720 Okay. So you'd be better in the intermediate class then. That's where you learn the main swimming strokes, front stroke, backstroke, and so on. 00:03:42,300 What about diving? 00:03:44,120 Yes, they teach you how to do that, and you'd also do some underwater swimming. 00:03:50,160 Not with a tank or anything? 00:03:52,100 Oh, no, not scuba, just ordinary underwater swimming. And in the intermediate course, you also look at water safety, both in the pool and when swimming in other places. 00:04:06,340 Okay. 00:04:07,660 Well, that sounds the right level for me, I think. So how much does that cost? 00:04:12,980 Sixty-one pounds for a course. That's ten lessons. 00:04:17,040 Can you tell me a bit more about the class? How many people would there be in it? 00:04:21,340 Well, the intermediate class is usually around eight to ten. That's what we aim at, though occasionally it might go up to twelve. 00:04:30,400 Okay, that sounds quite a reasonable size, not too many. And the class is for adults, is it? 00:04:37,300 Yes. 00:04:38,300 Okay. And just out of interest, is there an advanced class? 00:04:43,060 Yes. They focus on developing more efficient swimming techniques and on working on your speed. And they also prepare you for competitive swimming. 00:04:53,340 Okay. No, uh, I think I'd want to start with the intermediate one, really. 00:05:01,640 Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions seven to ten on page three. 00:05:29,280 Now listen and answer questions seven to ten. 00:05:37,140 Now, is there anything special I need to know? 00:05:40,520 Well, the classes are on Tuesdays, and the first lesson is on January 13th. So you need to register before then. January the eighth is the latest, but it's filling up quickly, so I'd do it straight away. You can pick up a form here or get one off the Internet, and classes are at seven thirty PM. 00:06:02,160 Right. Then I just roll up with my swimming trunks. Do I have to bring my own towel? 00:06:08,080 That's right. We provide all participants with a swimming hat, though. 00:06:12,800 Oh, [laughs] I don't usually wear one. 00:06:15,680 Well, we do insist on it, actually. It helps the instructor to identify you, apart from anything else. Oh, and don't forget you need a twenty P coin for the locker. 00:06:26,600 Oh, okay. Right. Well, I've been meaning to do this for ages. 00:06:31,600 I really need to get some more exercise, and everyone says swimming is good for your health. 00:06:36,720 Yes, and a lot of people find it improves their confidence, too. And of course, it could save your life or even someone else's. 00:06:45,400 That's right. Okay. Well, thanks very much. Goodbye. 00:06:49,800 Goodbye. 00:06:53,800 That is the end of section one. You now have half a minute to check your answers. ## 题目与答案 ### 1.
