Mary (Club Secretary): Hello South City International Club, how can I help you?

Jim Hunter: Oh, good morning. I want to find out about joining the club.

Mary (Club Secretary): Right. I can help you there. I’m the club secretary and my name’s Mary.

Jim Hunter: Hi Mary, my name’s Jim Hunter. Can you tell me about the events you have there?

Mary (Club Secretary): Sure, there are several events here. Let me give you some details.

Jim Hunter: That sounds fine. What else do you have?

Mary (Club Secretary): Well, we also have an ice skating center, which is next to a telephone booth. The admission fee is $3. It’s only open on Sundays. Also, we have a special offer for new members. If you come to the center with a guest, then the guest can experience one class for free.

Jim Hunter: That is really a big attraction for me. I remember walking past there yesterday, I saw a poster about swimming. Do you have any swimming classes?

Mary (Club Secretary): Yes! That is a new class. It starts on the 16th of October.

Jim Hunter: Right. Is it very expensive?

Mary (Club Secretary): Well, the joining fee is only one dollar. Oh no, I’m sorry, it’s recently gone up by two dollars. So it’s now three dollars for each person. And we don’t provide any swimming suits here, so you need to bring your own.

Jim Hunter: I see. What about dance lessons? You mentioned that you have classes once a week.

Mary (Club Secretary): Yes! The dance classes are very popular here. It’s a little expensive. The joining fee is $5, but that includes free drinks. We open all day and you can bring your own water and food.

Jim Hunter: Well, it’s still more expensive than I thought. I’m a student here, and I’m only here for six months.

Mary (Club Secretary): Ah, then we offer you a great way to learn about Britain. We usually visit the Grand Hotel, a historical site, but this time we are going to the local museum. The joining fee is $3. It is open between 10:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. during weekdays, and on weekends it’s half an hour earlier.

Jim Hunter: That should be alright. I could come in my free periods. By the way, I’m quite interested in tennis. I enjoy playing with my friends after work. Do you have tennis events I could join?

Mary (Club Secretary): No, I’m afraid we don’t. Perhaps you are thinking about North City Centre. They’ve got a lot of events we don’t have, and vice versa. But we organise events such as movie watching, as long as there are over 30 viewers and we have a lecture every four weeks.

Jim Hunter: Do you have any yoga classes?

Mary (Club Secretary): Yes, we do have some yoga lessons, but the timetable is still in discussion. However, we arrange a Saturday excursion every month. You can come and check it out.

Jim Hunter: Great. I heard there would be other outdoor activities, like a tour or something.

Mary (Club Secretary): Yes, that’s right. We will offer a Night City tour if you are interested. And as well as that, there’s a cultural evening event once a month.

Jim Hunter: That sounds good, but it is a pity that there’s no tennis at your club.

Mary (Club Secretary): I will pass on your feedback to management, so if you would like to join in the club, you need to fill out a form and pay $108 if you are over 19 and $95 if you are under. Both will need to be submitted to the club office. They will help you apply for the membership card.

Jim Hunter: Okay, thanks for that information. I think I have all I need for now.

Mary (Club Secretary): Thank you for calling South City International Club. Bye!
