Section 2: You’ll hear the organizer of a fishing competition giving a talk to people participating in the event.
Organizer: Hello, everyone, and welcome to the Albany Fishing Competition. I’m going to give you some information you’ll need for the
next two days.
Organizer: Right, let’s talk about registration. You’ll need to head to the registration desk before the event starts. If you’re here to compete rather than just watch, you’ll have already paid your entrance fee online, and you will have been given a competitor number.
Organizer: But to fully complete your registration in the competition, we’ll need to see some form of identification today. So make sure you show that at the desk, otherwise you won’t be properly entered.
Organizer: Right, so what do you get for your entrance fee? This is a fully catered competition. So whenever you’re hungry, either today or tomorrow, just go down to the dining tent.
Organizer: As for things necessary for fishing, you know, your hooks, rods, or your gear. I’m sure you’ve brought all that with you. And if you fancy fishing from a boat, you’ll need to cover the cost of petrol.
Organizer: Okay, now, if you want to fish in this country, you must have a fishing licence and have it with you. If you don’t have one, don’t worry. You can always go online, and they’ll issue you one immediately.
Organizer: We wanted to be able to sell them here at the competition, but the council wouldn’t allow it, sadly.
Organizer: I think it’s also possible to call the Department of Fisheries, but they send them by post, so obviously you won’t get that in time now.
Organizer: Okay, so the competition starts today and ends on Sunday evening. At 5.30pm, you will all have to stop fishing, and at 6pm exactly, the judges will start weighing the fish to see how heavy they are in order to choose the winners.
Organizer: So, you’ll need to be in the judging area before then. The prize giving will happen later in the evening.
Organizer: Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 15 to 20 on page 4.
Organizer: Now listen and answer questions 15 to 20.
Organizer: Right, have a look at your maps and I’ll point out the important places.
Organizer: First, the registration area. To get to it, go to the roundabout in the middle of your map. From there, take the road that heads to the east. You’ll find the registration desk on that road. It’s a nice shady area surrounded by trees. Okay.
Organizer: If you’re planning to fish from the shore tomorrow then there’s a specially designated area for you. The shore fishing area is in one particular spot, you can’t just go anywhere on the coastline. You’ll find the area directly to the north of the skate park.
Organizer: If you’re planning to fish from a boat, you’ll need to go to the boat launching area. To reach it, you should go to the roundabout and take the road that’s on the right. Follow that road to the beach and that’s where you launch your boat.
Organizer: When the competition is over, you need to take your catch to the judging area so we can determine who the winner is. To get there, head out from the car park and take the first road on your left. Go past the first aid tent and the judging area will be set up down there.
Organizer: Meals will be served in the dining area. To get there, you’ll need to go to the roundabout and take the road that leads west. Follow that road and just where there’s a sharp bend, you’ll find where you can eat. If you keep going, you’ll come to a lighthouse.
Organizer: If you’re lucky enough to win, or you just want to see the winners get their prices, you’ll need to head to the price giving area. It’s north of the roundabout past the playground. The prize giving area’s at the end of that road right on the beach. Okay. That’s going to be a real…
