Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 15. 00:00:59,320 In terms of popularity, Bay Life is the number one boat tour company in the area. Bay Life trips are different than other trips organized to observe marine life. 00:01:11,020 There are other companies which run more boats. We just run two, but ours are the only ones which are accompanied by marine biologists who have the knowledge to run quality trips. 00:01:22,920 We have long experience of organizing these trips to observe marine life, including whales and dolphins. 00:01:30,580 We want to give you as much opportunity for viewing marine life as possible, so all our trips are at least three hours in length, while some even last up to five hours. However, we do not guarantee that you will see all the species that frequent the bay in just one trip. The sea is the home of the creatures which inhabit it, not of humans. We explore only limited parts of the bay, and we are careful not to disturb the animals by tracking them too aggressively. 00:02:01,360 Bay Life's special dolphin trips are extremely popular, especially with children. Unlike whales, which pass through the bay only at certain times of the year, dolphins are sighted year-round. 00:02:14,860 Six species are regularly visible, sometimes in schools numbering over a thousand individuals. And due to the varying sea depths, we can find deep-water species of dolphin too. The animals are very energetic and are a thrill to watch as they ride the water from the bow and leap in the air. 00:02:35,420 To cancel a trip, you need to call us at least 24 hours beforehand if you want to avoid the full charge. Bay Life may cancel a trip at any time, either due to adverse weather conditions or insufficient passenger numbers. Trips will depart if it rains, but not if there's a strong wind. 00:02:54,840 In the event that one of our regular crew is sick, we have a reserve list, so we can always rely on a full complement of staff. 00:03:03,280 If you're unsure about the weather, please call us at 482-4865 or go to our website. 00:03:12,440 We can organize private group tours for conferences, corporate events, company rewards, or school and youth groups. These tours can be customized to meet your group's needs, and rates are negotiable. 00:03:26,640 Passengers of all ages are welcome on trips. 00:03:32,400 Before you hear the rest of the podcast, you have some time to look at questions 16 to 20. 00:04:04,100 Now listen and answer questions 16 to 20. 00:04:11,280 During the month of May, a local weekly newspaper, the Baytown Gazette, is holding a competition to win a free boat trip for four people. The competition will be announced in the paper on the 2nd of May. So if you're interested in taking part, get a copy of the newspaper and go over the terms and conditions of entry. If, after reading these, you think you're eligible to take part, you need to cut out the application form, which will appear in the same issue, and complete it. 00:04:40,680 The next thing you need to do is find a picture of wildlife. This can be either a plant or animal or insect that you particularly like. 00:04:50,600 It doesn't have to be one that you took yourself, but it should be one that hasn't been published anywhere. 00:04:56,940 Make up a suitable heading for the picture and write it on the back. 00:05:01,420 Then, on a separate piece of paper, explain in a few sentences why you find this particular picture interesting. 00:05:09,500 Your account should be just one paragraph, not more than 150 words in total, so it won't take you long. Finally, staple or clip your papers firmly together, put them in an envelope, and send in your entry to the address given in the newspaper. 00:05:27,020 The closing date for receipt of entries is the 31st of May, and the names of the lucky winners will be announced in the paper on the 6th of June. Good luck. 00:05:40,300 That is the end of part two.
