T = Teacher T:
Good morni ng everybody. Before we start t he class today, I need to give you some information about our field trip on the 27th of May – next Friday, in fact. As you know, we’re spending the day at the ama zing Science Museum in London. The coach will pick us up in the sc hool car park. We’ll leave at 8 o’clock so plan to be here at least 15 minutes before that – 7.45 at the latest. You’d better set your alarms for 6.30 , OK? Our visit’s been co nfirmed by the museum and I’ ve just received the itinerary and information about the activities they’ve organised for us. If you’ve visited the Science Museum before, you’ll know that it’s enormous and we can’t possibly see everything in one day. You may want to take some notes now – though I’ll also put the info on the class website later on. The museum opens from 10a.m. to 6p.m. If all goes well, we hope to arrive by 10.15 latest, when we’ll have o ur first guided tour of the day – there are two, by the way. If you read the newspaper last S unday, you’ll have seen the article about the re-opening of the Welcome Wing last week. It now has three state-of-the-art galleries which deal only wit h contemporary science. We’re going to have a guided tour of one of them – an 37

Intermediate Tests Audio Script exhibition called Antenna, which is about how the latest scientific discoveries could change our lives. You’ll also have the opportunity to give your opinions about the latest ideas. Remember, the m useum has lots o f hands-on multimedia stuff so you won’t get bored – I’m sure you’ll find it fasci nati ng. Then at 11 o’clock we’ll have a coffee break and you’ll be free to visit the permanent exhibitions until 12.30. There are twe nty galleries with different themes so you’ll only have time to see two or three properl y. If I were you, I wouldn’t miss t he one called Making the Modern World – which is marvellous. It shows the development of the modern industrial world i n a really entertaining and creative way. Also watch out for The Secret Life of the Home. It’s great fun and you’ll be amazed by all t he gadgets people used to use in the house – and will use in the future! Then it’s lunchtime. We’ ve ordered a pic nic from the café, which we’ll eat in the ‘picnic area’ on the first floor. We’ll all meet up there at 12.30 so don’t be late – we have to go to the cinema at 1.15! Yes, but not a n ordinary cinema – an IMAX 3D cinema! At quarter past o ne, we’re booked to have a 3D experience called Space Station. You’ll blast off into space with astronauts from

OK, then we have our second guided tour at 2.45 – quarter to three – to see one of the special temporary exhibitions called Fast Forward. It’s about twenty ways that Formula One technology is being used in our hospitals, homes a nd work places. For example, the materials and machines they’ve developed for the Formula One cars are now being used to make racing bikes, and sophisticated machines to monitor hospital patients. The to ur s hould take about an hour – until 3.45. And I’m pleased to tell you that you’ll then be free for the rest of the afternoon! You’ll be able to go back to any galleries you’re particularly interested in, or see something new. We’ll leave the Museum at half past five so tell your parents you should be home by about 8p.m. I think that’s all for now. Oh, one last thing, check out the Science Museum website before we go. The more you read about it, the more interesting the visit will be.
