IELTS Listening Part 2: A Talk About the New Community Arts Centre

Part Two. You will hear the manager of a new arts centre talking to local residents.

First, you have some time to look at questions eleven to fifteen.

Now listen carefully and answer questions eleven to fifteen.

Good evening, everyone, and thank you all for coming!

I'm thrilled to finally show you the new Eastfield Arts Centre!

As some of you know, this building used to be a bus garage.

So, yes, it smelled of diesel for about forty years!

Now it's full of light, paint and music instead.

We officially open on Saturday the 3rd of May.

Now, let me tell you about our facilities!

On the ground floor, there's a pottery studio with 6 wheels.

Upstairs, there are 3 music rooms you can book by the hour.

And what about the café, I hear you ask?

It's run by a local bakery, and the cakes are amazing!

We're open from 9 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., Monday to Saturday.

I'm afraid we're closed on Sundays, for now.

Well... we might open on Sundays next year, if there's demand.

Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions sixteen to twenty.

Now listen and answer questions sixteen to twenty.

Right, now for the bit you've all been waiting for, classes!

Beginners' pottery runs on Wednesday evenings at 7.

A ten-week course costs £85, and that includes the clay.

And photography? It was so popular, it's already full!

But don't worry, we'll add a second group in June.

Over-sixties and students get 20% off every course.

Just show us a card, so no lying about your age!

Finally, are you looking for something to do at weekends?

We need volunteers to help at our Saturday family workshops!

You'll need to give at least 3 hours a month.

In return, you'll get one free course every term.

Training is on the 26th of April, so please sign up soon.

Thank you! Now, please enjoy a look around.

That is the end of Part Two.
