"You’re thinking too much," Len whispered one evening, nodding toward her stiff drawing of a fruit bowl. "The apple isn't a math problem, love. It’s a snack. Feel the roundness."
The script will often say: "You can park in our small car park, but it fills up fast. Most students use the car park ." The answer is the library car park, not the centre's.
Art Classes at Bramley Community Centre: A Complete IELTS Listening Guide Skill Level: Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced
Manager: Bramley Community Centre. How can I help? Woman: Oh hi. I’m calling about the art classes that the centre offers. I had a quick look at your website. I think one of the classes is called something like ‘Movement and Light’? Manager: That’s right. The focus is on painting in the style of the French Impressionists. Woman: Yes, I saw that. But I’ve got a few questions if you don’t mind. Manager: Sure, go ahead. Woman: Well, do I need to bring anything to the class? Or is everything supplied? Manager: Not quite. What you’d need to do is get yourself some – I’d suggest a range of them, you know, in different sizes. Woman: All right. Yes, I guess it would make sense to bring my own. I’ll make a note of that. Manager: And you know what the fee for the class is? Woman: For one term – it’s $170, isn’t it? Manager: That’s right. But if you sign up for two terms, it actually works out cheaper. Woman: How much would that be? Manager: $285. Woman: OK, I’ll give it some thought. And that’s on Monday evenings, isn’t it? Manager: Yes, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. In room 15. Woman: And who’s the tutor? Manager: He’s a local artist. You might have heard of him. Steve Ramdhanie . Woman: Oh possibly. How do you spell that surname? Manager: It’s R-A-M-D-H-A-N-I-E. Woman: Yes, thanks. Now, you’ve also got a class called ‘Clay Basics’. It’s a pottery class, right? Manager: Yes, that’s right. Woman: Do we get to use a pottery wheel? Manager: Yes, you do. Woman: Oh great. But we’d be making something simple, I hope. I can’t imagine producing a vase or anything with a handle. Manager: No, in the first term, you’d just be producing two or three bowls . That means learning how to shape and glaze them. Woman: Sounds great. I guess it would be a bit of a messy activity. You wouldn’t want to wear your smart clothes, would you? Manager: Best not to. I’d recommend wearing something old – that you didn’t mind getting dirty. Woman: Well, I have a shirt like that that I could use. I’d just roll up the sleeves, I guess. Manager: And the fee for that class is $180 per term. Woman: All right. Manager: And the class runs on Wednesdays, 6.30 to 8.30 p.m. Oh hang on, I’ve got that wrong. Woman: It’s on a Thursday , isn’t it? Manager: Yes, my mistake. What else can I tell you? Oh yes, the tutor’s name is Theresa Clark . Her work’s on display in reception here. Woman: Oh great. I’ll have a look. Manager: Yeah, if you’ve got time. Woman: Um, now the other class I thought looked interesting was ‘Sketching Architecture’. Manager: Oh, yes. For that one everyone goes down to the local library , because it’s surrounded by so many beautiful old buildings. Woman: Oh, right. Like the old library building? Manager: That’s the one. So the class will start by drawing the library itself. Woman: And what do people need to bring? Manager: People usually take a fold-up chair and a sandwich . Woman: OK. Manager: The class costs $160 per term, it’s on Fridays from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., and you meet at the corner of Victoria Street and Park Road. Woman: Got it. And who’s the tutor? Manager: Annie Li. Here’s her cell phone number: you’ll need to write it down – 078****940 . (Note: The actual number may vary in different test versions, but in many official versions it is 078****940.)
