AUDIOSCRIPT

Woman: I visited the countryside museum last week, Bruno. It opened two months ago. You'd like it there,

Boy: Why? Is there lots of information about trees?

Woman: No. It's about wild birds that live in the forest. You can watch videos there too. I watched one about working on a farm.

Boy: Is it open on Saturdays?

Woman: Yes. It's only closed on Modays. I went on a Thursday.

Boy: And where is it?

Woman: It's fifteen miles from here. It took twenty minutes to get there and thirty to get home because the roads were busier then. Here's a map for your parents.

Boy: Thanks.

Woman: When I went, there was a special plant exhibition but they're having a study day for teenagers there soon about different kinds of clouds.

Boy: That's useful for when l go sailing!

Woman: Yes!

Boy: Do you have to pay for the study day?

Woman: You're fourteen, aren't you?

Boy: Yes.

Woman: Well. you won't because it's free for students who are your age or younger. But it costs £18 for students who are sixteen or older.

Boy: Thanks! I'll tell my parents.
