the shopping d is tric t, but we th in k you'd prefer to look around the shops there in your own tim e,
anyway.
San Fernando has some w e ll-kn o w n to u ris t attractio ns - the lighthouse fo r example, and the
N ational Library. However, the little -kn o w n M ilita ry Museum is not to be m issed. Be sure to visit
before you leave!
Now, th ere ’s a lot to do in San Fernando. Indeed, there realty
is
something fo r everyone! For those
who love the water. I can recommend a trip on the Seafarer, one of the most famous boats on the San
Fernando River. It does an evening trip w ith a three-course m eal included. It's great fun fo r everyone,
but especially for young people in th e ir teens or tw enties - a fte r nine there's a disco on the boat and
it gets really lively! Then th e re ’s a clim bing w a ll near the town centre. It’s incredibly popular, w ith a
large w a ll fo r expert clim bers, and a sm aller w a ll fo r novices. There’s also a junior w a ll and a creche,
so it’s a great day out fo r those of you w ith kids. And if you like w alking, there are some great walking
tours. The City Sights Tour is highly recommended, as is the w alking to u r by the coast. But that one’s
only fo r the fit, not really suitable for children o r the elderly. For more m ature people or those less
able to get around. I would suggest a to ur around the vineyards. It can be done in the luxury of a
coach, and it’s a w onderful way to explore the region’s wines.
N aturally, th e re ’s a charge fo r a ll these attractions, but you can get fifteen per cent off if you have
an Explorer Pass. If you don't have a pass but would like one, the driver here has application
fo rm s . Just ask him fo r one and f ill it out w hile on the tour. Then you hand it in to the to u r office.
N orm ally, it costs $10. but this year it ’s just $ 7 ! When you hand it in, y o u 'll get your picture taken
fo r the card on the spot, and then your card is ready to use! R em em ber to show it w henever you
pay fo r anything! The discounts apply not just to to u ris t attractions, but some bars and restaurants.
Basically, everywhere you see a red explorer sym bol.
Ah ... We're coming up to the h istorica l d is tric t now ...
Hi, Katie. Hi, Ian. Come on in!
Hi, Professor Gordon. We wanted to ta lk to you about our w ild life presentation next week.
Have you decided how to organise it?
Yes, Professor. At firs t, we were going to focus on the cat fam ily, but then we decided to ta lk about
nocturnal anim als instead.
Yes, good idea. And how is your planning going?
It's going w ell. We th in k we have enough m ate ria l fo r tw enty m inutes. The advantage is that there
are so many visual aids we can use. We've found lots on the Internet which we th in k w ill be really
interesting fo r people.
The problem is that th is topic has been hard to narrow dow n. If anything, we've got too much
inform ation fo r ju s t tw enty m inutes. How do you th in k we could narrow it down fu rth e r?
It is a broad subject. There are a few ways you could do it, but I’d recomm end just looking at a
representative sample of n octurnal anim als, just fo u r or five .
Yes, and maybe we could choose one anim al from each continent, o r a land creature, a m arine
creature and a winged anim al.
I like the idea of separating it by different types of anim als. And if we lim it the detail, w e ’ll definitely
have enough tim e!
But don’t lim it the detail too much. Also, th in k how you’re going to interest the audience.
Well, we re going to have a picture fo r each anim al so we can ta lk through the picture.
That's a nice idea, but don't lim it yourself to pictures. If you can find any clips of the anim als, use
them ! Showing b rief video clips can keep an audience interested.
I’ll look on the Internet tonight.
And th in k of Questions to ask your audience. People like to be involved!
Yes, th a t’s a great idea. Anyway, Professor, we've been practising o ur presentation and we'd like to
show you a s m a ll section. Is that OK?
Well, we ju s t have a couple of m inutes left, but go ahead!
