My name's Maxine, and I'm really pleased that you're interested in having horse riding lessons with us. I'd like to tell you a little about our operation, what we have to offer, and where everything's located, so later you can find your way around. 00:01:41,560 Now, we've been in business since nineteen seventy-nine, and since then, we've trained hundreds of children and adults to be confident horse riders. We're not the biggest riding center in the area, but we do offer a very wide range of services to suit most people's needs. Because we have a large indoor arena, the center is open in any weather. Our busiest time is the weekend, but we also run sessions every weekday afternoon. We offer lessons for all abilities, from absolute beginners to advanced riders, though prices vary, and jumping lessons, for example, cost a little more than beginners classes. We don't offer one-to-one lessons, but we have so many groups running every day that we're sure to find a level that's right for you. Now, if you do decide to take lessons here, you have to register first. To do this, you'll need to fill out a form which has questions about your contact details, your general health, and any previous riding experience you have. There's no need to show certificates or anything like that because we like to assess your ability ourselves. We'll just assign you provisionally to one of our groups until we get the chance to do that. 00:02:58,840 For registration purposes, you also need to make a one-off payment to use our riding gear. This is refundable. We don't actually charge you. It's only to cover us in case anything gets lost or damaged. 00:03:12,860 You can book lessons over the phone or in person. Though we can't make promises, we'll offer you a choice of horses to ride, and if you have a particular animal you like, we'll do our best to accommodate you. Regarding payment, we can't take credit cards, but we do accept checks with a bank card. If you have to cancel your booking, please do it at least a couple of days ahead of time. Otherwise, a fifty percent cancellation fee will apply. Also, you may want to consider booking lessons in blocks of ten since it's cheaper. 00:03:46,400 Now, many of you are first-time riders, and we know that you may be feeling a little nervous. Don't worry. All our teachers are specially trained to help you build your confidence. We suggest that you observe one lesson to see what's going on. There are plenty of other riders who feel the same as you. You'll soon start to relax. 00:04:07,340 We're very happy for people to look on while you're having your lessons, but we do ask that you keep talking to a minimum. Spectators can take photos, of course, as long as there's no flash. And please, we ask riders not to carry cell phones, even in your pocket. We've had quite a few going off, and it frightens the horses. 00:04:27,360 Now, you probably want to know what to wear. Most important is what you wear on your feet and legs, and we have a wide selection of boots for sale in our shop. It's well worth a visit. Younger riders especially love our range of stationery with the Pennyfield logo on it. Sadly, we no longer sell clothing like sweatshirts and coats. But don't worry, just wear any warm waterproof jacket. 00:04:51,860 And then I do just want to tell you about a new group we're starting on Thursday evenings called the Equus Club. This is for riders who are visually impaired or who have another type of handicap. We offer high levels of care and aim to take riders through all the levels right up to competition standard where appropriate. 00:05:14,560 Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions eighteen to twenty. 00:05:35,460 Now listen and answer questions eighteen to twenty. 00:05:43,040 Now, before I finish, the riding center is pretty large, so I'll just explain where all the key areas are. Looking at this plan, you can see that we're standing here in the stable block. Just in front of us, over the way, you can see the shop. Between that and the storeroom is the cafe. Then, as we look to the left of the storeroom, next to the parking lot, there's the office where you make your bookings. Obviously, that's where you'll go to make arrangements for particular classes, to fill in forms, etc. Nobody can go on a ride without going in there first. And looking at the other side of the shop, to the right of it, is the place where you wait to ride. It runs alongside the whole length of the field. Finally, you'll need to know where the bathrooms are. As you go out of this stable block, they're on the left next to the indoor arena. I hope that's clear. And... 00:06:40,250 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 What does Maxine say about the Pennyfield Horse Riding Centre? 11 What does Maxine say about the Pennyfield Horse Riding Centre? - Classes do not run when the weather is bad. - It is largest riding centre in the region. - You cannot book individual riding lessons. **答案**：You cannot book individual riding lessons. 原文定位：We don't offer one-to-one lessons, but we have so many groups running every day that we're sure to find a level that's right for you 同义替换：「cannot book」↔「do not offer」；「individual riding lessons」↔「one-to-one lessons」 ### 12. 12 What must riders provide when they register at the Riding Centre? 12 What must riders provide when they register at the Riding Centre? - evidence of their riding ability - a deposit for use of equipment - contact details of their doctor **答案**：a deposit for use of equipment 原文定位：For registration purposes, you also need to make a one-off payment to use our riding gear.
