Can I also ask you about the m useum in the main square? I was reading about it in my guide 
book and was shocked to see that the entrance price is £10. Why does it cost so much?
Well, the m useum has the largest collection of Latin Am erican a rt in Europe. People come from
a ll over the w orld to see it. But th at's not the reason why it's so expensive to get in. You see, the 
building is very old and it needs repairs. The £10 ticke t cost w ill go towards repairing the roof 
and the w alls.
I see. Well, I suppose it's w orth paying £10 to see the collection.
Yes, I th in k so too. Is there anything else I can help you w ith?
Actually, there is. I was w ondering if you knew of any good restaurants in the area.
Well, there are a few restaurants near the harbour, and a couple on the beach which are nice. 
The problem is that the s m e ll of the fish m arket is quite strong down there.
Mm, I don't th in k my g irlfrie n d w ould be very pleased.
I know w hat you mean - it's not very rom antic, is it? My advice w ould be to go to the next town. 
It’s bigger, and the restaurant selection is w ider. You can get there by taxi and it only takes about 
ten m inutes. The town is quite picturesque ... Is it fo r a special occasion?
Yes, it's my g irlfrie n d 's birthday so I’d like to go som ewhere special. Um, do you know any of 
these restaurants w e ll enough to te ll me about them ?
Well, I know about a few of them , and there are pictures in this leaflet here. This one here is 
lovely - the Belleview - and it ’s extrem ely popular. It has a fam ous chef, so it’s not cheap, but 
the standard of the food is very high. It’s rig h t by the sea and there are w on de rful views if you 
get a good table. Then th e re ’s The Lighthouse Cafe - you can see the picture here - which isn't 
really a cafe at all. In fact, it ’s a great restaurant and a lot of TV celebrities and actors eat th e re . 
The place has been going fo r over a hundred years! It’s quite an institutio n around here.
Mm. I'm not sure about those two - they sound too expensive to me. I was th inking of 
som ewhere sm all, not too up-m a rke t, but w ith good food.
In that case w hat about Harvey’s? The same fam ily has run th is restaurant fo r over a century. 
and it’s reasonably priced and really popular w ith local people. And th e re ’s another fa m ily-ru n
restaurant. Stonecroft House. New owners took over a m onth ago and they’re getting good 
review s. There’s a new chef there and the food is meant to be very good. This leaflet has the 
contact details fo r a ll the restaurants so you can ju s t ca ll them if you’d like to book a table.
Great, thanks. You’ve been very helpful.
Hello, everyone. Sorry to in te rru p t your class. I ju s t w ant to make a quick announcem ent about 
o ur su m m e r tim etable. Shim m ers Dance School w ill be offering new classes this spring due to 
strong demand. Angela Stevenson w ill be back this term , running the ballet class. This class 
w ill be on Tuesdays, and instead of the n orm a l hour from 6.30 to 7.30, w e ’ll be running the class 
fo r an hour and a half, so it w ill continue u n til 8 o ’clock. This means we have to charge higher 
fees, but only slig h tly higher: from £8.50 [eight pounds fifty) to £10.50. That’s only £2.00 fo r the 
extra half hour! Next, Janine Davis w ill s till be teaching the tango classes. Instead of being on 
Mondays these classes w ill be on Wednesday nights from 7 o’clock to 8 o’c lo ck. The fee w ill 
s till be £7.50 fo r the hour. Last but not least, Andrew is taking over the tap class. This class is 
fo r early rise rs as it sta rts at 8.30 on Saturday m orning and finishes at 10. We expect this class 
to be very popular as tap is a great way to get fit w hile learning new dancing skills. This w ill 
cost £11.00. A ll the othe r classes rem ain the same as the w in te r tim etable. We hope th e re ’s 
som ething fo r a ll of you at Shim m ers!
