Test 1

Section 2
On behalf of LP Clubs, I'd like to welcome you all here today. My name's Sandy
Fisher and I'm (1) ………….……………………………. here. Before we start our
tour of the club I'll just run through some basic information about the facilities we
have here, including recent improvements, and (2)………….………
…...............................ship available.

Our greatest asset is probably our swimming pool which at 25 metres isn't
Olympic- sized, but now we've expanded it to eight lanes, it's much wider. This
means there are rarely more than (3) ………….……………………………. at a
time in each lane. Unfortunately, there isn't space for an outdoor pool here but the
glass roof on the (4) ………….……………………………., which means you can
enjoy something of the open-air experience on warmer days.
Our (5) ………….…………………………….has all the latest exercise equipment
including ten new running machines, and a wide range of weight-training
machines. Each member is given full training in (6) ………….………………
……………. and there is always a trainer on duty to offer help and advice.
Although we do have adult only times after 6 and at certain times at weekends,
children are well catered for. Older children continue to
benefit from (7)
…..........................................................; anything from trampolining to yoga.
One thing all our members appreciate about us is that we take very good care of
them. This starts on day one with your personal assessment. You are asked to fill in
(8) ………….……………………………. of any health problems. One of our
1
personal trainers will then go through this with you.

2
The trainer will then take you through the safety rules (9)………….………………
….................in the fitness suite. During your next exercise session a personal trainer
will work with you to make sure you understand these. It's very important to do this
because we really do want to avoid having any sports injuries. There's a lot more to
(10)...............................................................simply lifting weights!
At the end of the personal assessment, the trainer will draw up a plan, outlining
what you should try to (11) ………….……………………………. This will then
be reviewed at the end of the six weeks.

Now, I'll just quickly run through the types of membership we have available. All
members must pay a joining fee of £90 in addition to the rates for (12)………….
……………………………. Gold membership entitles you to free entry at all LP
Clubs. There are now LP clubs in all major cities and towns so if you travel a lot
this will be a great advantage.(13)………….………………… ………….
£50 a month and joint membership for you and your partner will cost £75.
Premier membership is for professional people whose work commitments make it
difficult for them to use the club during the day and so LP gives booking
preferences to Premier members at peak times. This means you will find it easier to
(14)………………………. that suit you. Reciprocal arrangements with other LP
Clubs are available to Premier members. Premier membership is for individuals
only, but you will be sent (15) ………….…………………………….The monthly
fee is £65.
You don't have to have any special clothes or equipment when you visit the club.
We (16)................................................................in the changing rooms, but it's very
important to remember your photo card because you won't be able to get in without
it.

For people who aren't working during the day then…

Section 2
Good morning. I'm very pleased to (1)...................................................................a
little about two exciting new developments in the city: the Brackenside Open-Air
Swimming Pool and the children's Adventure Playground in Central Park. As many
of you may know, the (2) ………….……………………………. came from you,
the public, in (3) ………….……………………………. which the City Council
conducted last year. And they have been realised using money from the SWRDC -
the South West Regional Development Commission.

First of all, Brackenside Pool. As many of the older members of the audience will
remember, there used to be (4) ………….……………………………. on the sea
front 30 years ago but it had to close when it was judged to be unsafe. For the
design of this new heated pool, we were very happy to secure the (5)
………….…
………………………………….Ellen Wendon, who has managed to combine a
charming 1930s design, which fits in so well with many of the other buildings in
the area, with up-to-the-minute features such as a recycling system - the only one
of its kind in the world - which (6)........................................................in the pool.
Now, there has been quite a bit of discussion in the local press about whether there
would be enough room for the number of visitors we're hoping to attract, but the
design is deceptive and there have been (7)
….........................................................Also, just in case you were wondering, we're
on schedule for a June 15th opening (8) …………………………: a testimony to
the excellent work of local contractors Hickman's.
We hope that as many people as possible will be there on June 15th. We (9)

and

there'll be drinks and snacks available at the pool side. There'll also be a
competition for the public to (10)..............................................we plan to have at
the
entrance: you will decide which famous historical figure from the city we should
have.

And now, moving on to the Central Park Playground, which we're pleased to
announce has just won the Douglas Award for safety: (11)………….………
…………………….only last week. The unique design is based on the concept of
the Global Village, with the playground being divided into six areas showing
different parts of the world- each (12)...................................................................For
example, there is a section on Asia, and this is represented by rides and equipment
in the shape of snakes, orang-utans, tigers and so on – fauna native to the forests of
the region. Moving south to the Antarctic – we couldn't
(13)…...........................................................I'm afraid but opted instead for
climbing
blocks in the shape of mountains - I thought they could have had slides for the
glaciers but the designers did want to (14).................................................................!
Then on to South America - and here the theme is El Dorado - games replicating
the search for mines full of precious stones. And then moving up to North
America, here (15)….............................…. - I know the contribution of cinema and
jazz was considered but the designers finally opted for rockets and the
International Space Station. Eastwards to Europe then, and perhaps (16)………….

fortifications. Then last, but not least, moving south to Africa and a whole set of

fascinating and varied continent.

Now, the opening date for our Global Playground is 10th July. And again we'd love
to see you there - so make a date and come and see this magnificent, (18)…………
