I've been asked to talk to you today about Connect. Connect is a club for people who have retired from full-time work. The first Connect club began back in nineteen sixty in Brisbane, Australia. 00:01:11,900 Today, I'll concentrate on Frankston Connect, the club where I'm a member. It services the communities around the suburb of Frankston here in Melbourne. Okay, so what are our club aims? We're not a fitness club or anything like that. Some Connect branches do charity work, but that's not for us. Our objective is to provide social contact with others who have similar interests and ideas. 00:01:39,760 Now, meetings. We have monthly club meetings where the usual club business is discussed. For example, at the last meeting, we talked about how much money was spent that month. Also at that meeting, someone had just returned from an overseas trip, and he spoke about that. Then we looked at entries for our photography competition. The winner will be announced soon. Up until now, we've used the school hall for our meetings, but that's about to be renovated, so we needed to find an alternative. It's been a great venue because of its size, and it's so easy to get to, but I'm sure historical Frankston Hall will suit us just fine. 00:02:21,420 Our social committee plans and organizes club trips from time to time, and they're always looking for suggestions from members for new places to go to. If you join, you should check the activities list that's posted on our website each month and attend anything that interests you. Come and make friends. We're just one big happy family. 00:02:42,640 So how do you join, and what about membership fees? It's simple. Just fill in the form and give it to me before you leave this morning. 00:02:52,200 There are a few payment options. Some members prefer to make an annual payment, which is a slightly cheaper option, or you can pay monthly. Why don't you get a group together? It makes the activities more fun. 00:03:08,280 Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions sixteen to twenty. 00:03:39,720 Now listen and answer questions sixteen to twenty. 00:03:46,980 If you still haven't decided whether to join or not, let me try to tempt you with some of our upcoming events. Our Moonlight Wildlife Walk was previously available to members' immediate families as well, but this wonderful activity's become so popular that it's now limited to just members. Although it's free, we do ask our members to pay something to the wildlife fund so it can continue its good work. Everyone makes their way to the wildlife park independently, arriving at dusk, where a guide walks with the group and tells us about all the animals we encounter. 00:04:25,980 Okay, Theater in the Park. We see a different play every month. The park's on the train line and easy to access, so we don't organize buses or anything. Come along and recline on a blanket on the grass. Although some members prefer to take along their own seat. No need to make a reservation, there's plenty of space. After the play, we all walk to a local cafe where you can purchase coffee and cake. It's a really fun night out. 00:04:56,940 Bird watching is a regular activity, and it's organized by the keen bird watchers in the club. This activity consists mainly of early morning and late afternoon walking trips to spot the birds when they're most active. Bird watching attracts only small numbers, so one of our ardent bird watchers drives members in the club van to the best spots. The City Botanical Gardens walk is a popular activity that occurs a couple of times a year. Members make their own way there and usually meet up outside the gates at eight forty-five AM, setting off for the hour's walk with the volunteer guide by nine AM. Many members bring a friend or relative, and this is fine. Now, the state library. Our visits here in the past have always been great because there's something for everyone. You can easily spend a whole day in there. There's a lovely restaurant, and you can take food into the small cinema there, where we'll be watching a short film about the history of our local area. So what else can I tell you? 00:06:05,530 That is the end of part two. You now have thirty seconds to check your answers to part two. ## 题目与答案 ### 11. 11 The main aim of Frankston Connect is to 11 The main aim of Frankston Connect is to - help like-minded people to meet. - encourage members to stay physically active. - raise money through activities and events. **答案**：help like-minded people to meet. 原文定位：Okay, so what are our club aims?
