M: Francesca, what do you usually do at the weekend?

W:I usually meet my friends in the city center on Saturdays and we spend all afternoon shopping and chatting. On Sunday mornings, I go to see my grandmother.

M: What are you going to do this weekend?

W: On Saturday I'm going to get the bus to town with my friends as usual and we'll probably go to the gym.  But on Sunday I'll be practicing my guitar most of the day as I'm playing in a concert next Tuesday.

W: Shall we take a taxi to the airport?

M: Uh ... if we go there by taxi it might be quite expensive. We still have a lot of  time. Let's use the underground.

W: But it will take at least 15 minutes to go to the underground station by bus. And there is only an hour left. We will be late for the plane. 

M: What is the time by your watch now? 

W:  It is already six thirty. 

M: Why? My watch is only ten to five. Oh, it might have stopped last night.

W: It seems that the taxi is the wise choice for us now. 

M: Now, hurry up, or we'll miss the plane.

M: How are you, Lucy? What's up?

W: Well, it's raining like mad outside and the weather report says it'll be windy later today, so we can't go biking as we planned. I thought we might watch the football game on TV this afternoon. What do you think?

M: Sounds like a good idea. But I'm going to take advantage of the weather and clean up my room. 

W: You just gave me an idea, Jim. I think I'll do the same. My mum will be pleased.

M: And we can enjoy the football game later. Which team do you want to win?

W: I always like to choose State College. Sometimes State Youth Team. What's your favorite?

M: My dad likes St.Martins so I've grown up as a fan of them.

W: Good evening, Nick Robertson. You and your wife spent the whole of last year in the Antarctic. What gave you the idea of doing such a thing?

M: I saw an article in a magazine about some couples who had been there. Both of us got interested. 

W: Weren't you scared?

M: A bit, but before we left we had a training course. It was tough but taught us about surviving in sub- zero conditions.The worst danger we discovered was falling into holes in ice. 

W: Could you get in touch with the outside world there?

M: There was satellite communication equipment.

W: So didn't you see anyone else for a whole year?

M:Well, there was that time when we were having the usual canned food and there was a funny noise. Jill thought it was the wind but it was getting closer. Suddenly the room was flooded with light through the window. I opened the door and found a box in the snow. I looked up and saw a plane flying away. They were passing nearby and someone told them that we were out there. They dropped us a box with some fresh fruit and vegetables. It was a lovely surprise.

W: And now it's time to find out what's on at the Arts Center. This week's entertainment starts on Monday with a play based on the novel Birds on the Wing by author Philip Cruise. Set on a Greek island in the last century, it tells a story of true love that succeeds in the face of great difficulties. Tuesday brings a dance workshop, led by Diana Fransen. This exciting new mix of exercise and dance is great fun. The two hours will be over before you realize it. There are only places for 20 people, so book now if you're interested.  The Matsuri drummers from Japan come to the Arts Center on Wednesday. If you think drumming is just a lot of loud noise, think again — their clothes and effects are amazing. On Thursday a famous band from England, directed by Leslie Ager, performs a concert of popular pieces.  The jazz singer and guitarist, Maddie Felix, comes on Friday evening as part of her concert tour to celebrate her new CD. There are still a few tickets left, but hurry. They're selling out fast. To book tickets for any of these events, phone the box office on 714170, or check out the website.
